Linden herb, also known as Tilia or lime flower, refers to the flowers and leaves of the linden tree. There are several species of linden trees, but the most common one used for medicinal purposes is Tilia cordata, also known as small-leaved linden or little-leaf linden.
 
Linden herb has been used in traditional medicine for centuries for its calming and soothing properties. It is commonly used to alleviate anxiety, promote relaxation, and improve sleep. It is believed to have sedative effects on the nervous system and can help to lower blood pressure.
In addition to its calming properties, linden herb is also believed to have anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and diuretic effects. It is commonly used to alleviate respiratory symptoms such as coughs, colds, and sore throats.
 
Linden herb is commonly consumed as a tea, which is made by steeping the flowers and leaves in hot water. It has a mild, sweet flavor and is often combined with other herbs such as chamomile and lemon balm to enhance its relaxing properties.
 
Linden trees are native to Europe, but are now widely grown around the world. They are deciduous trees that can grow up to 30 meters tall and have heart-shaped leaves and fragrant, yellowish-white flowers that bloom in early summer.
 
Overall, linden herb is a safe and gentle herb that is widely used for its calming and soothing properties. However, as with any herbal remedy, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before using linden herb, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
