The sweet-scented flowers and heart-shaped leaves of this tree have made it a symbol of love and a poetic subject for generations. The linden is also known in the United States as basswood. Both the flowers and the leaves are used in making a medicinal tea. Boil together in water, then strain and use either hot or cold. This infusion is very useful in promoting perspiration and is a good remedy for coughs and vomiting.
