      St. Francis Osha Tincture Details

      Osha is a Rocky Mountain plant with a long history in the traditional medicine of Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest, where it is among the most highly regarded respiratory herbs.

      It is also one of the harder herbs to source responsibly. Osha resists cultivation — it depends on a soil fungus relationship that has proven very difficult to replicate — so essentially all osha on the market is wildcrafted, which makes sustainable sourcing a genuine consideration rather than a marketing line.

      Made from osha (Ligusticum porteri, root) at 250 mg Quantity Crude Equivalent per millilitre, in a base of distilled water and certified organic alcohol. 50 ml with a dropper.

      St. Francis Herb Farm has been making liquid herbal extracts in Ontario since 1988. Their tinctures use certified organic alcohol and distilled water, and are made to a stated extraction ratio so you know the strength of what you are taking.

      Who St. Francis Osha Tincture Is For

      This is for anyone drawn to traditional Southwestern herbal practice, and for people who already know osha and want a well-made tincture. It carries a distinctive strong, spicy, celery-like character that people tend to either take to immediately or not at all.

      Consult a practitioner if symptoms worsen or persist, and before use in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Osha is in the carrot family, which contains several highly toxic lookalikes — another reason to buy it from a reputable maker rather than foraging it.

      St. Francis Osha Tincture Features and Benefits

      • Single-Herb Tincture — Osha (Ligusticum porteri) alone, with no blend to dilute it.
      • Stated Extraction Ratio — 250 mg Quantity Crude Equivalent per millilitre, so you know the strength.
      • Certified Organic Alcohol — The extraction base is organic, not industrial ethanol.
      • Liquid Absorbs Faster Than Capsules — Tinctures do not need to disintegrate before absorption can begin.
      • Dropper Dosing — Adjustable to the drop, which capsules cannot match.
      • Made in Ontario Since 1988 — St. Francis Herb Farm has been making liquid extracts in Canada for over thirty years.
      • 50ml Bottle — A practical size for a single-herb tincture taken three times daily.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Product Information

      ➕ What is St. Francis Osha Tincture?
      A single-herb liquid extract of osha (Ligusticum porteri, root) at 250 mg QCE per millilitre, in a 50 ml dropper bottle.
      ➕ How much do I take?
      Adults: 0.7-1.1 ml (20-33 drops) 3 times daily in a little water on an empty stomach.
      ➕ Why a tincture rather than capsules?
      Liquid extracts absorb without needing to disintegrate first, and a dropper lets you adjust the dose to the drop.
      ➕ Does it contain alcohol?
      Yes. Certified organic alcohol is the extraction solvent — it is what pulls the compounds from the plant. Taken in a little water the amount per dose is very small, but it is worth knowing if you avoid alcohol.

      Benefits of Ingredients

      ➕ Where does osha grow?
      The Rocky Mountains and the American Southwest, at high elevation. It has a long history in the traditional medicine of Indigenous peoples of that region.
      ➕ Why can't osha be farmed?
      It depends on a relationship with a soil fungus that has proven very difficult to replicate in cultivation, so essentially all osha is wildcrafted.
      ➕ What does it taste like?
      Strong, spicy and celery-like — it is in the carrot family. The flavour is distinctive and people tend to have a clear opinion about it.
      ➕ What does Quantity Crude Equivalent mean?
      Quantity Crude Equivalent tells you how much raw herb each millilitre represents. A 1:4 tincture at 250 mg QCE means every millilitre carries the equivalent of 250 mg of dried herb. Stating the ratio is what separates a properly made tincture from one that simply lists an ingredient.

      Usage and Storage

      ➕ How do I take it?
      Adults: 0.7-1.1 ml (20-33 drops) 3 times daily in a little water on an empty stomach.
      ➕ Are there any cautions?
      Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms worsen or persist. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
      ➕ How should I store it?
      Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light with the cap closed. Keep out of reach of children.
