100% ORGANIC

Linden flowers are used in traditional medicine for their calming, sedative, and diaphoretic properties, and are consumed as a tea to treat colds, coughs, and anxiety. They also have historical uses in skin care, aromatherapy, and culinary applications like flavoring drinks and syrups. Common forms of use include tea, tinctures, extracts, salves, and topical lotions.  

Medicinal and wellness uses

  • Calming and sleep: 

    Linden is used to soothe nerves, relieve tension, and promote restful sleep. 

  • Colds and coughs: 

    A hot tea can act as a diaphoretic, inducing sweating to help with fevers, and also helps reduce nasal congestion and soothe a sore throat. 

  • Heart health: 

    It has been traditionally used to help decrease high blood pressure and address nervous palpitations, though those with heart conditions should consult a doctor. 

  • Skin care: 

    Due to anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, linden is used in topical lotions and salves for itchy skin and other irritations. 

  • Digestive aid: 

    It can be consumed to help with digestion. 

Culinary and aromatic uses

  • Tea: The flowers and leaves make a mild, pleasant-tasting tea that is popular across Europe. 

  • Flavoring: The fragrant flowers are used to flavor drinks, syrups, and other culinary creations. 

  • Aromatherapy: The pleasant fragrance is used in aromatherapy. 

How to use

  • Tea: Steep dried flowers and leaves in hot water for a medicinal or calming tea.

  • Tinctures and extracts: These are available in capsule or liquid form.

  • Topical applications: Make a lotion or salve from the flowers for skin irritations. 

Cautions

  • Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications. 

  • Use with caution if you have heart disease or are taking blood pressure or diuretic medications. 

  • Though generally safe, excessive intake can cause mild side effects like heart palpitations or skin reactions.
