-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linden tea is an herbal tea or “infusion “made from the leaves, flowers and bark of the Tilia genus of trees (also called linden trees).
The linden tree family — which includes species Tilia cordata, Tilia vulgaris, Tilia platyphyllos and Tilia tomentosa — is native to Europe and originated in locations such as Bulgaria, Romania, former Yugoslavia and Turkey. Today it’s grown in locations like France and England.
What does the name “linden” mean? Historically, it has been a popular boy’s name in countries such as England, although it’s become a more unisex name lately. It is associated with the linden tree that is said to be “sturdy and can live for centuries.”
Linden trees have dark gray bark, green heart-shaped leaves and yellow-green flowers. Different parts of the trees are dried and preserved to make teas, tinctures and other tonics that are rich in beneficial chemicals.
The tree species mentioned above are most widely grown because their parts contain some of the highest levels of tannins and mucilage compounds that make for the strongest extracts.
What is linden used for? Also sometimes called lime flower or basswood, it’s most often consumed for its natural sedative and anti-anxiety effects, but it can also help support heart health, digestion, the respiratory and immune systems, and more.
Consuming it as an anti-inflammatory tea is the most common way that this herbal remedy is utilized, but it’s also available in extract and tincture forms.
