Linden Flower, 1oz.
Linden tea has been valued for its potent sedative properties for hundreds of years. It’s derived from the Tilia genus of trees, which typically grows in temperate regions of North America, Europe, and Asia.
Tilia cordata, also known as small-leaved lime, is considered the most potent species of the Tilia genus. Linden tea has been used in folk medicine across cultures to relieve high blood pressure, calm anxiety, and soothe digestion.
Linden has been used to induce sweating for feverish colds and infections, to reduce nasal congestion, and relieve throat irritation and cough. Linden has sedative effects and has been used to treat nervous palpitations and high blood pressure. It has also been added as an ingredient in lotions to relieve itchy skin.
