Its bark contains polyphenols and coumarins. History and tradition linden is known since antiquity. In Greek mythology, a nymph named Filyra is mentioned, who, after being kidnapped by Saturn, gave birth to the Centaur Chiron. Filara, when bitterly asked the gods not to let her mortal, transformed her into a linden tree. According to Dioskourides, the leaves were used as pads on snake bites. According to Pliny, snakes do not even approach the shade of this tree. The tree of the lime tree is also reported by Theophrastus and Virgil. Later, in England and other European countries, wood carvings were made of lime tree. In the 17th and 18th centuries, lime trees were planted in a specific way by delineating the boulevards, resulting in these avenues being the main feature of every park and city of central and northern Europe. In the 18th century, the French chemist Misha discovered that by grinding the fruit together with his flowers, he was taking a product that had a flavor similar to that of chocolate. During the Second World War they used their dried and powdered leaves together with flour for bread making, which was an excellent nutritional supplement for that difficult period. Linden leaves are commonly enjoyed in herbal teas and have been traditionally used for their calming and soothing properties. The tea, made by steeping dried linden leaves in hot water, is a popular choice for relaxation and comfort, especially during colder months. Its pleasant flavor makes it a favorite for many tea drinkers. Linden is also appreciated for its gentle support in promoting a sense of well-being. To prepare linden tea, simply add 1 teaspoon of dried linden leaves to a cup of boiling water, letting it steep for about 10 minutes. This can be enjoyed up to three times a day. For a stronger infusion, such as during colder weather, you can use 2-3 teaspoons of the herb. Beyond its use as a tea, the soft inner bark of the linden tree has long been used for various practical applications, and the wood is valued for its easy workability. Additionally, bees are drawn to the linden flowers, contributing to the production of high-quality honey. In landscaping, linden trees are often used to beautify streets and boulevards due to their symmetrical growth and visual appeal.
