Unveiling the mystique
of Sagan daila and thyme
Siberian
Herbs:
Ivan-tea (kyprey) in combination with thyme will warm you in the cold season and quench your thirst when outside the window scorching summer heat. Many note the benefits of combining thyme with Ivan-tea. This infusion is full of valuable compounds, trace elements and vitamins: organic acids, vitamin C, manganese, zinc, calcium, tannins, gum, iron, sodium, flavonoids, selenium, copper. It helps the stomach and intestines, removes excess fluid, accelerates the recovery of the whole body and increases its tone, improves skin condition, relieves hangovers, is useful in the treatment of coughs, and will help cope with insomnia and has a positive effect on milk production in nursing women.

Thyme, another revered herb, was historically known as "the herb of shamans and healers." It was esteemed by the Slavs, who used it in pagan rituals to incense fireplaces and offer prayers to the gods. Even today, thyme is used to fumigate spaces like cowsheds and to soothe children’s fears.

Ancient scholars like Theophrastus and Avicenna documented thyme’s medicinal properties, lauding its potency as an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, expectorant, Rhododendron Adams contains a large number of useful substances, essential oils and acids, including linolenic acid, which belongs to the essential fatty acids of the omega-3 class.

In the bark and leaves there are a lot of tannins (tannids), which gives the decoction from the plant a characteristic astringent flavor. Therefore, after drinking tea, you may well want to quench your thirst with a glass of water. It is important to drink enough fluid per day, which is necessary for the excretion of toxins and breakdown products.

The smell of this tea is unusual: to some it reminds oak flavor, to others it seems somewhat strawberry. Take 3−5 leaves of sagan-dale, pour 250−500 ml. boiling water and insist for 15 minutes. The resulting drink can be half diluted with brewed black tea, but then the healing properties of sagan-dale will be somewhat blurred.
Ivan-tea and sagan-dailya

Sagan-dailya perfectly combines with Ivan-tea. The flavor of this drink is difficult to confuse with something else: it echoes the exciting notes of mountain meadows and the smells of the Siberian forest. The taste of this tea is even better: with notes of barberry and apple and light minty freshness. The drink retains all the beneficial properties of Ivan-tea, and sagan-dailya complements them with its tonic qualities

From History

Thyme was once called "the herb of shamans and healers". Since time immemorial, it has been revered as a divine herb capable of restoring not only health, but also life. It was especially popular with the Slavs: back in pagan times, our ancestors put thyme on fireplaces, incense to the gods. Even now the herb is used to fumigate rooms, such as cowsheds, milk pots and even to calm frightened children.

Theophrastus and Avicenna wrote about the properties of thyme. Thyme is considered a very strong antiseptic agent. It is also attributed to him anti-inflammatory, analgesic, expectorant, bronchodilator, antispasmodic, mild sedative, anthelmintic and many other properties.

At home, thyme is most often used in the kitchen as a seasoning. Did you know that it can be added not only to dishes, but also brewed as a tea or infusion? Everyone who has at least once tried thyme tea will never forget its taste and smell: a pleasant, sharp-spicy aroma and tart taste.

Bronchodilator, and antispasmodic agent. Its diverse uses and enduring popularity attest to thyme’s status as a timeless herbal remedy.

In the vast expanse of Siberia, a treasure trove of herbs awaits, each with its own tale of folklore and healing.

One such herb is Rhodiola rosea, also known as golden root or Arctic root. This adaptogenic herb has been used for centuries in Siberian and Scandinavian traditional medicine to combat stress, enhance stamina, and improve mental clarity. Its ability to thrive in harsh environments makes it a symbol of resilience and strength.

Another notable herb is Eleutherococcus senticosus, commonly known as Siberian ginseng. Despite its name, it is not related to true ginseng but shares similar adaptogenic properties. Siberian ginseng is prized for its ability to boost immunity, increase energy levels, and improve overall vitality.

Chaga mushroom, although technically not a herb, is revered in Siberian herbalism for its potent medicinal properties. This dark, woody fungus grows on birch trees and is known for its immune-boosting and antioxidant-rich properties. It has been used to support overall health and well-being for centuries.

Inula helenium, or elecampane, is another herb native to Siberia with a long history of medicinal use. It is known for its expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a valuable remedy for respiratory issues such as coughs and bronchitis.

Lastly, Rhododendron tomentosum, also known as marsh Labrador tea, is a herbaceous plant native to Siberia. It has a long history of use in traditional Siberian medicine for its diuretic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is often used to treat urinary tract infections and digestive issues.

These are just a few examples of the many remarkable herbs that Siberia has to offer. Each herb has its own unique properties and benefits, adding to the rich tapestry of Siberian herbal medicine. As interest in natural remedies continues to grow, Siberian herbs are poised to take their place on the global stage as powerful allies in health and wellness.
