Description
The Alaskan tundra is beautiful in autumn when the fireweed is displaying its most brilliant colors. The view across the landscape is so breathtaking that you cannot take your eyes away from it. This photograph was taken on the road between Fairbanks and Anchorage.
A trip to Alaska is not complete without tasting the sweet honey and jams made from fireweed. It is also used for medicinal purposes by the native Alaskans. According to Lantis, Alaskan Natives use fireweed tea for stomachaches. The tea from the leaves is stronger than chamomile tea and good for restlessness. Dried fireweed roots (gathered after the plant has dried) can be mixed with grease and spread on infected sores or bites.
