One of the main uses of Lime Flowers is to treat colds, coughs and flu. It contains mucilage – a sticky substance that can help to soothe irritated membranes of the throat and it is known to decrease mucus production. The Linden Flower is actually listed in the German Pharmacopoeia and is approved in the German Commission E monographs, where it is used in common cold and antitussive (cough remedy) preparations. Lime Flowers are also rich in antioxidant flavonoids and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help to reduce cold and flu symptoms such as inflamed membranes in the respiratory tract. If a cold or flu turns into a fever, Linden Flowers can induce a bout of sweating which can often break the fever.
Lime Flowers are known as a “carminative” herb, an aromatic bitter tonic that can be used to aid in digestive upset. The blend of phytonutrients found in Lime Flowers can stimulate proper digestion whilst reducing gastrointestinal discomfort. The mucilagous substance produced by this herb lines the digestive tract, allowing food to move through the body more easily.
Studies show that Linden tea can be especially useful for “gastrocardiac syndrome”, a condition caused by excessive gas causing the stomach to push up and put pressure on the heart. The anti-spasmodic action of Lime Flowers works by relieving spasms in the intestinal tract.
