Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Large-Leaved Linden (Tilia platyphyllos) has a longstanding history in traditional European herbal medicine for alleviating symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating and mild gastrointestinal discomfort. The flowers of the linden tree have been used in teas and infusions, often recommended by herbalists for their calming and purportedly antispasmodic effects on the digestive tract. Historical texts and ethnobotanical sources frequently mention linden flower tea as a gentle remedy for digestive complaints, especially those associated with nervous tension or stress.

However, scientific validation for these uses is limited. While some laboratory studies suggest that linden flowers contain flavonoids and mucilaginous compounds that may have mild antispasmodic and soothing effects, there have been no robust clinical trials specifically investigating its efficacy for indigestion in humans. As such, the use of Large-Leaved Linden for indigestion is primarily based on tradition and anecdotal evidence rather than strong scientific data. Its safety profile as a tea is generally regarded as good for short-term use, but those seeking evidence-based treatments for indigestion should be aware of the limited empirical support for this traditional remedy.
