Other names: Tilia europea
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
The common linden (Tilia vulgaris), also known as Tilia europea, is a deciduous tree native to Europe and western Asia. It belongs to the lime family (Tiliaceae) and is one of the most characteristic trees of our Central European environment. The height of the tree usually ranges from 20 to 40 metres, but exceptionally it can reach up to 50 metres. The linden is valued for its aesthetic appearance and its important role in the ecosystem, but also for its medicinal properties.
The leaves of the linden are heart-shaped and strongly uneven at the base. The flowers produced by the linden consist of five white to cream petals and are very strongly scented. These flowers are harvested and dried to produce tea, which is known for its beneficial effects on the human body. An infusion of lime blossoms is traditionally used as a soothing and anti-inflammatory remedy. It has mild sedative effects and helps with insomnia, migraines and other headaches. Lime blossom tea is also used to treat colds, coughs and flu. The wood of the linden tree is soft and easy to work, so it is used in artistic work, especially in carving and sculpture. In the construction industry, it is used to make furniture, wooden toys and other small objects.
