Legend
Fireweed tea /Ivan chai/ was considered a herbal tea blessed by God in ancient Slavic culture.
Legend has it that fire flower tea has cosmic origins. After prayers at the bonfire, it
given by the water goddess Swimmer. The goddess swam across the night sky in a silver boat and sowed the seeds of medicinal plants on Earth to heal people. The first, without waiting for dawn, sprouted fire flower seeds and fire flowers bloomed, which shone in the night in their fiery violet color.
It is no coincidence that the legend tells of the nocturnal origin of the firefly. Firefly tea is associated with the mysterious healing powers of the night. At night, firefly flowers do not close, but turn towards the moon and absorb the energy of the moon, harmonizing the forces of the universe. Interestingly, fireflies are mainly pollinated by moths.
Fireweed tea has been used in Russia since ancient times as a medicinal tea. It has a strong healing effect, as it was popularly called the “battle wand”. Water extracts from fireweed leaves have gained particular popularity, as they relieve headaches and heal inflammation.
Fireweed tea was also popularly known as "bakery" or "miller's tea." These names arose because dried, ground fireweed root flour was often added to bread dough.
Fireflies heal not only people. They begin to grow in clearings and burned areas of land - covering the wounded earth with their inflorescences. Fireflies absorb solar energy, which they abundantly give back to people. In Tsarist Russia, it was also called Peasant Tea and was used as a source of strength to rejuvenate the body after hard field work.
