Summer is the blooming season of numerous herbs. In the event of individual plant harvesting, an absolute botanical understanding of the gathered herbs is mandatory. To acquire raw materials of the highest caliber with minimal contamination, adherence to a few straightforward guidelines is necessary. It is not advisable to collect herbs growing near roads, drains, industrial facilities, or cultivated fields and never in rainy conditions. Bear in mind that herbs flourishing in sunlit and dry locations possess stronger attributes than those growing in dark and damp environments.
Linden flower clusters
Linden flower clusters are valued for their multifaceted health benefits. Their beneficial properties stem from their rich chemical composition. They contain flavonoids that protect cells, strengthen blood vessels, and have a relaxing effect. The mucilage present in lime blossoms provides a protective, soothing, and anti-tussive effect on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and respiratory system. The lime tree is also a source of phytosterols with anti-inflammatory properties, organic acids, vitamin C and PP, as well as essential oils that have a calming and relaxing effect. Infusions made from lime blossoms are used as a diaphoretic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic agent. They aid in the treatment of viral infections, colds, and febrile conditions. Lime blossoms also support the therapy of respiratory diseases. Lime blossom infusions reduce nervous tension, facilitate falling asleep, and improve the elasticity of blood vessels. The lime tree is also recommended for digestive disorders, as it stimulates the production of digestive juices. Externally, lime blossom infusions are used to care for irritated, dry, itchy skin and to alleviate symptoms of insect bites. It is worth regularly taking baths with lime blossom infusion to accelerate skin regeneration and promote relaxation. In addition to the flowers, the lime wood, also known as sapwood, also has healing properties and contains substances with antibacterial and soothing effects.
