Osha Root: Spring Medicine for the Bears

A Rocky Mountain Plant Worth Protecting

When the long mountain winter begins to loosen its grip and the snow slowly melts back from the forest floor, the bears wake. After months of hibernation their bodies are stiff, their digestive fire is low, and their immune systems vulnerable. The early spring landscape does not yet offer berries, lush greens, or abundant forage. A deep intelligence guides the bears to seek out powerful medicine rooted in the mountain soil.
