Fireweed healing
Rosebay Willowherb - one of our most beautiful wild flowers.
A tea made from it's fermented and dried leaves was common in England until the 17th century and is still popular in parts of Russia where it is known as Koporsky tea from the town of Koporye, where it has been produced since the 13th century.
The leaves are picked, rolled to slightly crush them and left to ferment before drying, which brings out the unique fragrance and taste.
Rosebay Willowherb is said to have more vitamin C than rosehips (which has up to 8 times more vitamin C than lemons), and also contains magnesium and B vitamins and is supportive to the function of the heart and the immune system as well as being caffeine-free.
The herb is also a mild sedative and is useful for the relief of lower urinary tract symptoms such as difficulty starting urination or a frequent need to urinate
