Find out a little more about lime: The lime tree, also known as Tilia, is native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It is widespread in Europe, Asia and North America, where it grows in forests, parks and wooded areas. Linden is an ancient plant that has been used for centuries for its many beneficial properties. It has a long history of use in traditional medicine and cooking. Lime leaves are generally heart-shaped, with serrated edges. They are green on top and paler underneath. The leaves are used to make infusions or decoctions for their calming and soothing properties. Lime blossoms are small white or yellow flowers in hanging clusters. They are highly fragrant and are harvested to make herbal teas and infusions. Linden is known for its many health benefits. Lime blossom infusions are traditionally used to promote relaxation, relieve stress, anxiety and insomnia, and relieve cold and flu symptoms
