Never knew that fireweed could be so useful or smell so nice and it is a very common plant where I grew up. My grandmother was using a lot of plants but always dismissing fireweed as a nuisaince. Always interesting to learn something new :) Thank You :)
Hello Leva - Isn't it amazing how much nature has to offer us? It's always more than we realize :)

Hi Lisa, wow, I had no idea of these benefits. Never worked with it, I guess, but I have some dried fireweed tops/flowers in my little tea storage. Thank you for these details. Many thanks, Johanna
Hello! Thank you for this information! Have you ever tried making a hydrosol from the fireweed flowers? I’ve considered trying to make some as I have a copious amount of fireweed around my home. Thank you!
Hey there Unknown -- I would absolutely love to try doing a distillate with fireweed! It's on my to do list. I would love to hear how your hydrosol turns out if you decide to make it!
