Blooming at the turn of May and June, intensely fragrant flowers are suitable mainly for drying, which is then poured to make an infusion. Thanks to the content of essential oils, they delight the senses with a pleasant aroma. Honey, one of the most popular in Poland, is also obtained from the linden flower.

Linden blossom syrup is a bit rarer - thick and sweet it will be perfect as an addition to teas, and drunk as a syrup, it will soothe diseases of the upper respiratory tract.
Valuable trees and shrubs

The linden flower for medicinal purposes is obtained from two species of trees - small-leaved linden and broad-leaved linden. The yellow inflorescence is rich in flavonoids, of which the most distinguishing are kaempferol and quercetin, which have antifungal, antiallergic and anti-inflammatory properties. Linden flower also contains a large amount of tannin - an organic compound responsible for eliminating inflammation in the body. Linden extract is therefore used in the production of herbal medicines, dietary supplements and healthy herbal teas.
