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

Where did you find this image of the fireweed? Does it belong to you?
LisaLise said…
Hi Idun — the photo at the top is a stockphoto that I paid to use. The photo of the dried plant is one I took.

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!
