Remedy of the day

One gift from God's creation each day, with the prayer that goes with it. Share it with someone who needs it.

Several gnarled, dark brown dried osha root pieces resting in a small weathered wooden bowl.

Herb

Osha Root

A traditional Rocky Mountain herb long used by folk and Native herbalists for coughs and sore throats.

How to use it: Use a small amount of tincture in water, or a tea made from the dried root, at the first sign of a cough or scratchy throat. Traditional use is short-term, a few days at a time, rather than daily.

πŸ™ Today's prayer

Lord, I thank You for the roots and remedies hidden in the mountains You made. As I use osha root for this cough and sore throat, grant me wisdom to source it responsibly and safely, for I know look-alike plants can be dangerous. Ease my discomfort as You see fit, and should this cough persist, lead me toward whatever this body needs without delay. In Jesus' name, Amen.

β€œBeloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”— 3 John 1:2 (KJV)
