Osha

Osha is a great remedy for viral infection such as the common cold, flu, sore throats and upper respiratory congestion. The herb helps eliminate toxins. It stimulates the digestive and immune systems and expels mucus. The herb is a reasonable antitussive, and combines well with soothing herbs such as licorice, marshmallow and slippery elm, all of which serve to make coughs more productive and therefore less long-lived. Osha is also a powerful bronchodilator, widening the large-bore air passages leading from the trachea to the lungs, stimulating the ciliated cells to bring up and expunge metabolic debris. It is used for settling the stomach after vomiting and can be used with eyebright to prevent and treat earaches in children
