Tie Da Yin Chen (Osha Root)
Ligusticum Porteri
Tie Da Yin Chen (also spelled Die Da Yin Qin) is the Northern American Osha Root, a strong respiratory support herb for exterior Wind patterns and Bi Syndrome. It is of similar species as Gao Ben, but decidedly stronger in action. We stock wildcrafted Osha root from Utah and southwest USA, which smells heavenly and is quite potent. It appears in some very strong dit da jow formulas.
Osha root is a herb native to the Rocky Mountain area and has historically been used by the Native Americans for respiratory support. The roots of the Ligusticum Porteri contain camphor and other compounds which make it one of the best lung-support herbs in America. One of the main benefits of Osha root is that it helps increase circulation to the lungs, which makes it easier to take deep breaths. Also, when seasonal sensitivities flare up your sinuses, Osha herb, which is not an actual antihistamine, does produce a similar effect and may be help calm respiratory irritation.

Osha gets one of its names, "bear root", from the noted affinity Since bears have a natural affinity for the root of the Osha plant, it has been referred to as "Bear root."
Osha Roots are often dried in the sun, and although the large roots can take up to a few days to dry, Osha root contains powerful oils that prohibit bacteria, mold, and mildew growth. Because of the presence of these oils, Osha roots can be properly stored for years without deterioration.
