Linden – what is worth knowing about it?

Linden is a unique plant that has many valuable properties. This species occurs mainly in the temperate climate of the northern hemisphere – in our country it is a very common plant. A characteristic feature of this species is longevity – it can live up to 1000 years. In terms of appearance, trees of this species are characterized by great height (up to 40 meters) and spreading branches. There are about 30 species of linden, of which two grow wild in Poland – small-leaved linden and large-leaved linden. This tree is considered an ornamental plant, so it is often found in parks and squares, especially along avenues.

Linden flower – medicinal properties

The unique composition of linden flowers makes them possess many unique properties. The main reason is flavonoids – compounds characterized by effective antioxidant and anticancer activity, capable of removing free radicals from the body that can damage tissues and accelerate the aging process. In linden flowers, quercetin (reduces the permeability of blood vessels) and tyliroside, a strong anti-inflammatory substance, have also been discovered. The composition of linden flowers is also rich in tannins (which have an astringent effect on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and counteract diarrhea) and essential oils (improve appetite and support the secretion of digestive juices).

Linden flower – how to use?

Linden flowers are most often used in the form of an infusion. We need a teaspoon of dried herb (in the case of the whole flower it will be a little more), which we then pour with boiling water and leave covered for 5-10 minutes. After this time, we strain and drink – during a cold even three times a day.
