The large tree that is known lightly by its large heart-shaped leaves with its painful antennas. Green, yellow-green flowers grouped in the crown on a long membrane leaf. They let out a soft honey smelt at the beginning of summer. A fruit is a small gessophic sphere that contains only one seed. Only three species are known for their medicinal properties: large leaf bliri (Tilia Platyphyllos), small-leaf bliri (T Cordata), and common bliri (T X Europea), hybrid of two of the above. Other species can be used, such as silver bliss (T. Tomentosa) for example. The communal bliri (Common) is often used in parks and gardens as a decorative tree.

 

Active ingredients:

Flowers: mucilage, tannins, phenolic acids, proantocianidols, flavonoids (among which, quarcerin and quianferol), aromatic essence.

The inside of the bark : phenolic acids, tannins, fraxocyd, esculocyd, amino acids.

 

Pliny (roman naturalist of the first century of our wind) mentions the lucky effects of the wine of linden’s bark in his book “The Flaws of Skin”. Many different cures boast the action of linden on epilepsy, paralysis, loss of balance, or collection of the pelts in the organism. His importance was such that by a royal order, the planting of the sandstone side of the streets was to be collected and sent to hospitals.
