The unique Bulgarian herb - Mursal Tea
Every Bulgarian has heard about the amazing Mursal Tea and the thousands of health benefits it brings. And probably everyone has tried it! But why is this herb so unique?
Characteristics
MURSALSKI TEA is also known as "Pirinsky", "Trigradsky", "Alibotushki" and "Sharplanin tea".
Its Latin name is “Sideritis scardica”. It is interesting that the species epithet scardica comes from the ancient name "Scardus" - which is the Latin name of the Schar mountain, where it was found and described by the Göttingen botanist August Griesebach.
Mursal tea - a Balkan endemic
Mursal tea is a Balkan ENDEMIT. It is considered one of the wonders of the Rhodopes, due to its incomparable healing power. An herb that is said to be magical and heals everything.
Mount Mursalitsa is located in the Rhodopes. Legend has it that Mursal tea grows on the spot where Orpheus' tears fell when he was searching for his beloved Eurydice. This is where one of nature's most healing herbs appears.
Endemics are biological species distributed in a limited area (range) - a geographical area, mountain, water body, country or other administrative unit.
Balkan endemics - are plants or animals found only on the Balkan Peninsula.
Propagation of the medicinal herb
Mursal tea is strictly endemic to the Balkan Peninsula, and in our country it is distributed in the Middle and Southern Pirin, the Mursal section of the Rhodopes, Rzana mountain and Slavyanka mountain (Alibotush). It is found at an altitude of 1400 to 2200 meters.
The plant can also be seen in some mountains in Greece, North Macedonia and Albania. In our southern neighbor, and also in Macedonia, the medicinal herb is known only as mountain tea. It is a curious fact that Macedonia is a major producer and exporter of the herb, supplying markets in Western Europe and the USA for years.
It is important to note that it is included in the Red Book of Bulgaria. However, with the help of the cultivation of the herb in recent years, it can still be found in a pharmacy, in an online herbal shop or any other store in the country, which is something really valuable.
