Fermented fireweed tea Fireweed NARROW-LEAVED- Chamaenerion angustifolium L. 

English: rosebay Willowherb, Russian: Иван-чай

The firefly is a unique gift of Nature - a helper for man on the path of life.

Legend has it that fireweed has a cosmic origin and is a herbal tea blessed by God. The energy of the plant is strong and at the same time gently healing. We offer fermented fireweed leaf and flower tea, but the entire plant can be used. In the spring, the young shoots can be used in salads and stews, at the beginning of flowering we collect the green leaves of the plant by hand and ferment them - according to the recipes of our ancestors, we prepare our NATIVE TEA. The fermentation process is completely natural. During fermentation, the cell membranes of the fireweed open and the plant gives people all the riches hidden in it. At no stage of preparation does the temperature exceed 40', which creates the special aroma of the tea and keeps the spirit of the tea alive, loving and healing. Cloth can be made from fireweed stems, and sweet flour from the roots, which is added to bread so that it lasts a long time and does not spoil.

When fireflies are nearing the end of their blooms, they start to fluff up, as seeds ripen in the lower flowers. In Siberia, people collect this fluff and stuff it into pillows.

Fireflies heal not only people. They begin to grow in clearings and burned areas of land - covering the wounded land with their inflorescences. Fireflies absorb solar energy, which they give back to people in abundance. However, the firefly is also 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.
