Linden, Tilia tomentosa

Since the linden bud represents a concentrated form of the tree and contains its entire genetic material, it possesses both the properties of the flower and the bark. This demonstrates the versatility of the bud compared to the other differentiated parts of the plant, which are often specialized in a specific therapeutic function. The macerate of linden buds is quite viscous due to the mucilage present in the buds, giving it interesting properties in cosmetics.

Nervous System: Well known for its calming effects, linden bud is recommended in all cases of insomnia, especially in children, where it acts as a gentle sedative. It is one of the most recommended pediatric remedies to promote sleep and extend its duration. It is also advised for neuroses, such as anxiety and obsessions.

Circulatory System: Linden bud is an effective antispasmodic, used in cases of heart palpitations, spasmophilia, and diaphragmatic hernias. As a blood thinner, it helps detoxify the body, particularly by reducing levels of cholesterol, uric acid, and urea, thus alleviating symptoms of gout and promoting weight loss.

Endocrine System: It is also indicated in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, helping to regulate thyroid function.

Digestive System: Regular consumption of linden bud macerate is effective in chronic inflammatory syndromes, such as gastritis and spastic colitis, thanks to its soothing and regulating properties.
