Linden flowers, or lime flowers are known to provide a calming effect on the body. The biochemical makeup of linden flowers includes a volatile oil, flavonoids containing hesperidin, quercitin, astralagin and others; the flowers also contain mucilage, phenolic acids, and tannins.

In Europe, linden flowers are commonly used as an herbal beverage tea second only to chamomile, with which it combines very well. This is because of both its fine aroma and flavor, especially when sweetened with a little honey. The simple combination of equal parts chamomile and linden flowers is an ideal home remedy for the entire family for the treatment of influenzas, colds, common headaches and menstrual. The flavor is rather pleasant and thus it will readily be taken by those who are adverse to bitter-tasting teas.

Useage:
Place one teaspoon of tea per person into a warmed pot or Mug Infuser and add hot water. Allow to steep for 5-10 minutes, or longer if a stronger infusion is required, then strain into mugs. A little honey or other natural sweeteners can be added
