Kulturhistorie
Lyngen var i mange tusen år redningen for fiskerbonden i havgapet: I mangel av annen virke ble planten brukt som brensel under stekeplater og badestamper. Den ble brukt som fôr til utgangerdyrene, som isolasjon i bolig, dreneringsmateriale, til farging av ull, garving av skinn, som liggeunderlag på gulvet i mangel av senger og som medisinplante. Lyng har bakteriedrepende egenskaper og et utkok av planten ble brukt for å rense småsår. Til øl og vin- brygging brukes planten fremdeles i Skottland.

SvarSlettHere's a translation as best this American can muster:
Lyngen was used for thousands of years by the fishermen at sea: In the absence of other plants it was used as fuel for the hotplates and hot tubs (?). It was used as animal feed, as insulation in housing, drainage materials, the dyeing of wool, tanning leather, as mats on the floor for lack of beds and as a medicinal plant. Lyng has antibacterial properties when extracted from the plant and was used to disinfect the nicks. It is still used for making beer and wine in Scotland.
Thanks Annemarie :) great translation!!
