Linden comes from several species of deciduous lime trees native to temperate zones within Europe and North America. Various legends surround this herb, such as the belief that it offers protection from lightning. Perhaps this is why these trees are frequently planted along city streets.

Linden species are also noted for longevity, with some surviving for nearly 1,000 years. The dried leaf and fragrant flower make a sweet, mild-tasting tea. Because linden contains compounds with astringent properties, the herb is also used to make topical infusions, salves and lotions for the skin.

Linden is a species of deciduous tree that occurs naturally throughout Europe and North America. Although it is sometimes called lime tree, it is no relation to the citrus fruit. In fact, linden is in the Malvaceae family, which includes basswood and mallows.

The flowers and leaves have long been used to make toiletries and cosmetics due to their mucilage and flavonoid content. The herb is also used in teas and to make soothing syrups and lozenges. Although linden is associated with promoting relaxation, it is non-narcotic. However, be aware that this herb may increase the effects of anxiety medications and other prescription drugs.
