SCIENTIFIC NAME: Tilia cordata / Tilia platyphyllos
FAMILY: Tiliaceae
ORIGIN: Europe
Its name comes from the Greek word "ptilon" with the meaning of wing, in reference to its phophthiaceous bract that facilitates the spread of fruit bunches thanks to the blowing of the wind.
Characterized by a foliage of bright colors that go from a pale, soft green, up to shades more tending to dark green, it has wide leaves with a slightly serrated margin. Its flowers, on the other hand, are hermaphroditic and have a calyx with 5 sepals and corolla with 5 petals.
Leaves and flowers of the Linden tree are useful in fisionetaria to combat insomnia, nervousness and airway disorders as they are rich in properties due to the presence of several elements including:
• Essential oils and sugars.
• Flavonoidi: natural chemical compounds appreciated for their health properties.
• Coumarins: substance contained in the flowering tops of the melilot (Melilotus officinalis) and in the seeds of the Coumarouna odorata (Dipterix odorata).
• Mucillagini: confer mucolytic and anti-inflammatory properties effective in case of cough and phlegm. This substance is frequently associated with other substances, such as tannins and alkaloids.
Many properties are attributed to linden, among which we remember the astringent, diaphoretic, sedative, emollient and, above all, antispasmodic and antitussive ones.
With linden seeds it is possible to make excellent infusions, simply by boiling some of its leaves and / or flowers in a cup of water and leaving to infuse for 10 minutes. Immediately ready to be tasted, the drink has numerous benefini and it is recommended to take it before bedtime to fully enjoy the relaxing and sedative action of the same.
For states of anxiety and stress, a warm linden bath turns out to be a real panacea to decrease tension and calm the soul.
Linden is also used in case of tiredness in the eyes, bags and redness. In these cases it is good to make linden compresses by dipping cotton or gauze soaked in the substance and then applying them on the eyes.
