Fireweed
Chamaenerion angustifolium
Fireweed is used for pain and swelling (inflammation), fevers, tumors, wounds, and enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). It is also used as an astringent and as a tonic.
The leaves and flowers are useful for soothing skin problems, ranging from psoriasis, to eczema, acne, skin rashes, ulcers, burns, and wounds. The leaves and flowers can be macerated in oil and a salve or ointment made from the infused oil.
Fireweed flowers can be infused and gargled for sore throat, pharyngitis, and laryngitis, and combined with the leaf for insomnia, and relief of headaches caused by nervousness and tension, as well as relief of migraines.
