Linden tree
The linden tree is a wild and ornamental tree native to Europe and Asia Minor that can grow up to 30 meters tall. Linden sapwood is the name given to the tree's second bark, which is softer than the first.
In ancient Germanic civilizations, the linden tree was sacred and dedicated to Freya, the goddess of fertility and maternal love.
It quickly became a popular remedy and was the subject of numerous medical treatises.

Key Properties
Part of the basics of gemmo
Linden flowers are considered to have calming and soothing properties. They are said to promote sleep by facilitating relaxation and reducing nighttime awakenings, helping you get a good night's sleep without becoming dependent on them. Linden is also attributed with relaxing properties due to p-coumaric acid and flavonoids.
Linden buds are also one of the bases of gemmo.
