Ivan tea - description, photo of the plant

Kirei angustifolia is a powerful herbaceous perennial up to one and a half meters tall. The strong, rounded, erect stems are densely crowned with foliage. The leaves are sessile, simple lanceolate in shape with a pointed tip. The length of the blades reaches 5-12 cm, width 1-2 cm. The top of the leaf is dark green, the bottom of the leaf is bluish or reddish. Under the ground there is a thick, powerful creeping rhizome. The side roots are dotted with a large number of renewal buds.

The inflorescence is a loose raceme up to half a meter long, strewn with pink flowers. The corolla reaches a diameter of 2-3 cm and consists of four petals. Flowering from mid-summer, lasting about a month. Small oblong seeds with a pubescent crown ripen in the fall inside a pod-shaped capsule. The fluff is easily transported by the wind over long distances, so the plant has spread widely in the Northern Hemisphere. You can find bright candles in forests, in places of fires, clearings, near reservoirs, in fields, and embankments.

This is interesting! Our ancestors gave fireweed more than 50 synonymous names, one way or another related to the properties of this amazing plant.

In addition to being a surprisingly pleasant and healthy drink, fireweed was used to feed livestock, weave ropes, and stuffed pillows with fluff from the seeds. All parts of the plant were eaten - the roots were ground into flour, the leaves were added to soups and salads, and the flowers supplied the bees with a large amount of nectar.

Another common name for this representative of the flora is Koporye tea (koporka). The name is given in honor of the Koporye area, located near St. Petersburg. This Russian village was a center for the production of raw materials for brewing a drink that replaced expensive overseas black tea.

Chemical composition of the plant

The beneficial properties of narrow-leaved fireweed tea are due to the rich chemical composition of the plant. The leaf mass and rhizomes contain the following substances:

1. Mucus (up to 15%) – have enveloping properties, help in the fight against diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
2. Plant fibers have a beneficial effect on intestinal function.
3. Pectins – help remove harmful substances, waste, toxins, radionuclides.
4. Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help strengthen the immune system and fight free radicals.
5. Organic acids – normalize metabolism.
6. Tannins and tannins have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect and are antioxidants.
7. Sugars and proteins participate in metabolic processes and are building materials for cells.
8. Vitamin C – strengthens the immune functions of the body, reduces the fragility of the walls of blood vessels. In terms of the amount of ascorbic acid, the green mass of fireweed leaves citruses and rose hips far behind.
9. B vitamins and magnesium – protect the nervous system from stress, normalize sleep, hormonal balance, eliminate headaches, and muscle tension.
10. Iron – participates in hematopoietic function and effectively fights anemia.
11. Manganese is an antioxidant, participates in hematopoiesis, metabolic processes, normalizes hormonal levels, and participates in the production of insulin.

In addition, the green mass contains potassium and calcium, which help normalize the acid-base balance of the body.

Remember! Unlike black tea and coffee, copkorka does not contain caffeine, which is addictive. In terms of the amount of tannins, fireweed has surpassed high-quality varieties of green tea.

The benefits and harms of Ivan tea for the body

Since ancient times, herbalists have used fireweed to treat various ailments - headaches, fever, infertility, disorders of the nervous system, and intestinal disorders. Our ancestors noted the life-giving power of drinking, which increases vitality.

Modern scientists have confirmed that raw materials based on fireweed angustifolia can suppress any inflammatory process, overcome viral diseases (herpes, tonsillitis, ARVI), and quickly heal ulcerated tissues. High cytostatic (anti-cancer) properties were also noted. Based on the flowers, the drug Hanerol is made, which helps suppress the growth of cancer cells. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated based on multiple studies.

The plant is used in cosmetic preparations - anti-aging creams, wound-healing ointments, various masks for hair and face. In the old days, fireweed infusion and decoctions were drunk to treat various ailments, they were used to gargle sore throats, apply lotions to wounds, and heal skin diseases.

By the way! The sedative effect of the drink is similar to the effect of tincture of valerian root. Preparations based on fireweed tea successfully treat neuroses, epilepsy, insomnia, stress, and migraines.

The benefits of the drink after 50 years

The human body undergoes significant changes over time. Scientists say that the process of cell aging largely depends on the food consumed. Animal products and poor nutrition disrupt the acid-base balance of the blood, which causes the human body to “corrode” over time. If we add to this the constant exposure to poor ecology, pathogenic microorganisms, free radicals, and hormonal imbalance, then the human biological clock will speed up.

Due to the high content of antioxidants, the medicinal drink reduces harmful external influences, normalizes metabolism, supports the coordinated functioning of all body systems, and removes harmful substances. The aging process slows down, which is especially noticeable in the condition of the skin. The former radiance and elasticity returns, wrinkles are smoothed out. With regular use, the “elixir of longevity” restores vigor, normalizes blood pressure and sleep.

Healing properties for men

Infertility, sexual dysfunction, weakened erection - often the cause of these unpleasant phenomena is inflammation of the prostate gland. Men rarely immediately go to the doctor with such a delicate problem, and the inflammatory process intensifies over time and can lead to the development of oncology.

Koporye tea contains a large amount of flavonoids and tannins. The herb can suppress inflammation and eliminate its common cause - the activity of microorganisms. The adaptogenic, tonic properties of the healing drink also help improve potency, metabolism, and immunity.

Know! In terms of anti-inflammatory activity, no representative of the domestic flora can compete with fireweed.

The benefits of fireweed for women

Benefits of Ivan tea for the female body:

• eliminates inflammation in the genitourinary system;
• cope with diseases caused by bacteria and viruses - thrush, cystitis, genital herpes (apply externally and drink medicinal infusions)
• helps relieve symptoms of menopause;
• has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin and hair, and slows down aging;
• helps fight excess weight, removes excess fluid, waste, toxins;
• improves the menstrual cycle, is effective for heavy and painful menstruation, helps stop bleeding;
• helps improve lactation, enriches breast milk with minerals;
• normalizes hormonal levels, fights infertility.

Remember! The analgesic properties of coporka will help relieve menstrual pain, overcome migraines, and insomnia.

Ivan tea for children's health

Healing fireweed can help even the little ones. Mother's milk will be replenished with vitamins and minerals if you drink a glass of warm fireweed tea before feeding. Thanks to the beneficial qualities of the herb, gas formation, which causes painful colic, will be significantly reduced. During teething, some pediatricians recommend giving a weak drink to strengthen the immune system, reduce pain and moodiness. An herbal infusion will help eliminate skin rashes.

Stress and weakened immunity are a common occurrence when a child finds himself in a new environment (kindergarten, school). Ivan tea can strengthen the body's protective functions, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep. You should consult your pediatrician about the possibility of using the drink and the recommended dosage.

Fermented fireweed tea: benefits and harms

Ancient recipes for preparing fireweed tea necessarily included a fermentation process. The beneficial properties were enhanced, since the released cell sap enveloped each leaf, giving it all the healing powers hidden inside. The fermented product is subject to general contraindications; if consumed in moderation, it will not cause harm to the body.

Remember! If you want to collect a healthy product yourself, choose healthy bushes with clean foliage. To prevent raw materials from harming your health, collect only in environmentally safe areas.

The harvest of leaves from healthy plants is first dried for 24 hours, and then rubbed manually between the palms to release the cell sap. The resulting blanks are placed in a glass container for a day, covered with a damp cloth. The optimal temperature for fermentation is 25-27⁰C. Fermentation of the juice gives the raw material a unique floral and fruity aroma. Afterwards, the leaves are dried in the oven with the door ajar at a temperature of 60-80⁰C and constant stirring.

The finished product is similar to regular loose leaf black tea. The tea leaves have a pleasant aroma and break when pressed, but do not crumble. Fermented fireweed angustifolia is stored in a glass container with a tight lid, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. The finished tea leaves retain its useful qualities for 2-3 years.

Granulated fireweed tea - differences from leaf tea, how to prepare

Granulated fireweed tea is an industrial product. The raw materials are also subjected to preliminary fermentation, and then, for convenience, they are ground in industrial grinders, turning them into granules.

Consumer opinions vary greatly about the benefits and harms of fireweed tea in the form of granules. Most people think that the granular product is of poor quality. This is due to the oxidation of the leaves during processing and the loss of beneficial properties.

Unscrupulous manufacturers may even replace the raw materials or introduce non-recommended additives, such as flavorings. If the manufacturer values ​​his reputation, he will take care of the quality of the product, preserving all the benefits of the plant for you.

The drink made from granules differs from the whole leaf drink in aroma and taste. This is due to production technology and the shape of the product. The granules have a larger area of ​​contact with the aqueous medium during brewing, so they release extractive substances faster. You will need a little less granulated tea for brewing, because it will immediately release all the valuable substances into the solution. It is better to use the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Know! Granulated Koporye tea is convenient because it brews very quickly. If you purchase it from a trusted manufacturer, it will differ little from its leaf counterpart in quality and usefulness.

How to brew and drink fireweed tea at home

Koporye tea can be brewed from fresh, fermented and granulated raw materials. It is best to use filtered water. To prepare a healing drink you will need:

• fermented fireweed tea - 2 tablespoons or fresh leaves with fireweed flowers - the same amount;
• boiled water at a temperature of 80-90⁰C – 600 ml;
• enamel or glassware.

If you are preparing a drink from fresh leaves, they must first be washed and placed on the bottom of an enamel saucepan. Fill the green mass with hot water and place on the stove. Heat the liquid until the first bubbles appear, remove from the stove. Cover with a lid and leave for 10 minutes. Pour three glasses of hot water over the fermented leaves and leave for 5-10 minutes.

The resulting liquid is used as a regular tea brew, that is, the required amount of hot water is added, bringing the drink to the required strength. Instead of sugar, it is better to flavor the infusion with a teaspoon of honey. You can use the leafy mass for brewing 2-3 times, and the release of beneficial substances will only increase.

On a note! You don’t have to brew fireweed tea, but make a cold infusion. Take a teaspoon of tea leaves for a glass of cold water and leave for 12 hours. This drink is more healthy because vitamins and minerals are not destroyed due to the lack of heat treatment.

Contraindications to the use of the drink

Ivan tea is a medicinal plant, so there are a number of contraindications to drinking the drink. Children can drink it from the age of two and only after consultation with a pediatrician. The same applies to pregnant and lactating women. Taking fireweed is contraindicated in case of increased blood clotting, risk of thrombosis, varicose veins, arrhythmia, glomerulonephritis.

• tannins;
• organic compounds;
• phenols;
• bioflavonoids;
• pectin derivatives;
• vitamins A, B and C;
• micro- and macroelements;
• starch;
• carotene.

How fireweed defeated classic tea

The benefits and harms of fireweed tea for the body will also appear if you consume it instead of the usual hot drink that we are used to pampering ourselves with during the “sweet table”. Dry or fresh leaves of the plant can be brewed in the same way and in the same proportions as classic tea.

Doctors are confident that this is the best solution for people who are afraid of the harmful effects of caffeine. There is more than enough of this substance and other alkaloids in “overseas” teas. They deplete the nervous system, depriving a person of strength, and aggravate hypertension. If you replace tea with a drink made from fireweed, you can not only avoid such troubles, but also provide the opposite effect.

Ivan-chai sometimes becomes a “bad guy”

It is impossible to abuse medicinal plants - homeopaths and herbalists often talk about this. Lovers of fireweed tea who ignored this advice had to deal with very unpleasant phenomena - decreased potency and intestinal upset.

When you brew tea from fireweed, remember that benefits and contraindications are mutually exclusive concepts.

Prohibitions on taking fireweed drinks and medicines:

• individual intolerance to the plant;
• simultaneous use of sedatives (disturbance of the nervous system may develop);
• combination with antipyretic medications (you risk greatly reducing body temperature).

Until recently I drank literally liters of it. 10 cups a day is not the limit. But then my body decided that it would not tolerate such bullying and failed. In the form of severe exacerbation of gastritis. 😧

In general, I had to forget about tea and coffee. Why, at first the water made me feel bad.

But after healing, I gradually began to miss tea, but after the next mug I felt bad. Alas.

I had to look for an alternative.

Now I really respect different herbal teas. And then I saw a new product on the shelves - packaged Ivan tea, and even with my favorite additives - mint and lemon balm. And even on promotion.

The tea turned out to be wonderful. With a light herbal taste, an unobtrusive aroma of mint and a subtle note of lemon balm.

The tea brews well and is delicious both hot and cold.

When cold it is wonderfully refreshing.

And when you read about the beneficial properties of fireweed, you immediately realize that it’s a miracle, not a drink. . It improves metabolic processes, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and fights tumors and a lot more - I wanted to insert a quote, but the list of useful properties is off the charts and it turns out to be more than my entire review ☺

The packaging is standard cardboard. It contains 20 tea bags. I liked that each bag is protected by cellophane from moisture and foreign odors.

The composition is ideal: fireweed, mint, lemon balm.
