• Diaphoretic Benefit : Linden flower and leaves is used to combat the common cold and cold-related coughs.The linden flower, when taken as a hot tea, will slightly raise the body temperature, and help the body’s immune system to fight against infections. The induced raise in body temperature is kept relatively low, as diaphoretics also increase sweating, which the body will do to lower its temperature.

The bark acts as a mechanism to increase the flow of bile through the liver, which helps keep the liver drained. It has also been used to treat several different types of hepatitis.
