About this episode

Rosalee de la Forêt discusses common myths about linden and its uses as a medicinal herb.

Linden is one of my favorite tree medicines, but it's also surrounded by a few common misconceptions. Here, I unpack three myths that may be keeping you from getting the most out of this remarkable herb. ► Why linden is much more than a calming bedtime tea ► Which parts of the tree are traditionally used beyond the flowers ► What research suggests about harvesting linden from urban areas If you'd like to keep learning about linden, I'd love to share my free Linden Monograph, which also includes one of my favorite summer iced tea recipes featuring linden, lemon balm, and oat straw. And if you enjoy this way of studying herbs, you'll love my Herbal Energetics Course. It includes more than 60 detailed herb monographs, along with practical tools to help you understand herbs through the lens of energetics.
