Frequently Asked Questions about Osha Extract

What is osha root extract used for?

Osha root extract is a dietary supplement made from the dried root of Ligusticum porteri, an aromatic perennial of the Apiaceae (carrot and parsley) family that grows at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains and the mountains of the American Southwest and northern Mexico. The root has a distinctive, spicy, celery-like aroma owing to its volatile-oil phthalides - principally Z-ligustilide, the same class of compound found in lovage - along with ferulic acid, terpenes, and coumarins such as osthole. Osha holds a place of deep importance in the ethnobotany of Southwestern Native American peoples, including the Navajo, Apache, Zuni, and the Tarahumara of Mexico, and is widely known as bear root or bear medicine. As a dietary supplement, osha root extract is used to support general wellness. HawaiiPharm's alcohol-free glycerite is prepared from wild-harvested, dried Ligusticum porteri root and manufactured in our FDA-registered Hawaii facility. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

What is the difference between osha root glycerite and tincture?

HawaiiPharm offers Osha (Bear Root) in two liquid formats. The Osha Root Glycerite is an alcohol-free extract using vegetable glycerin and purified water as solvents, suitable for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The Osha Root Tincture uses food-grade alcohol as the primary solvent, the traditional method of herbal liquid extraction and one well suited to the root's aromatic, resinous oils. Both formats are prepared from the same wild-harvested, dried Ligusticum porteri root using low-temperature maceration, ensuring a broad-spectrum phytochemical profile. Both are manufactured in HawaiiPharm's FDA-registered Hawaii facility with identity and purity testing for each batch.

What is the botanical background of Ligusticum porteri (osha)?

Ligusticum porteri is a perennial herb of the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), the carrot and parsley family, native to high-altitude meadows and coniferous forests of the Rocky Mountains and southwestern North America, often growing between 2,000 and 3,000 meters of elevation. The genus name Ligusticum refers to Liguria, the region of northwestern Italy long associated with the related herb lovage; the species epithet porteri honors the 19th-century American botanist Thomas Conrad Porter. The common names osha, bear root, and bear medicine reflect the traditional observation that bears seek out the root, reportedly digging for it and rolling in it after emerging from hibernation; the Spanish name chuchupate is widely used in Mexico. A defining feature of osha is that it cannot be successfully cultivated on a commercial scale: it depends on a symbiotic relationship with specific soil fungi (mycorrhizae) in its native high-mountain habitat, so all osha is wild-harvested. For this reason it appears on the United Plant Savers "At-Risk" list, and responsible, sustainable harvesting is essential. Important safety note: the Apiaceae family also contains highly toxic look-alikes such as poison hemlock and water hemlock, which is why verified botanical identity and laboratory testing of the harvested root are critical. Other relatives include lovage, celery, carrot, parsley, fennel, and angelica.

How do I use osha root liquid extract?

Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. Shake well before each use. Store as directed on the label. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a health condition. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the suggested serving size.

Are there any precautions for using osha root extract?

Osha should NOT be used during pregnancy: it has a traditional reputation as a uterine stimulant (emmenagogue), and pregnant women should avoid it; nursing women should also avoid use unless directed by a healthcare professional. Individuals with known sensitivity to plants in the Apiaceae (carrot/parsley) family - including celery, carrot, and fennel - should exercise caution due to possible cross-reactivity. The coumarin compounds in osha may increase sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) in some individuals, and may interact with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications; anyone taking such drugs should consult a qualified healthcare professional before use. Do not exceed the suggested serving size. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
