A Linden honey has a wide range of applications, it is primarily
used for treating colds and fevers as a diaphoretic, and it is
used as a fortifying agent and supports the heart. In Eastern
Europe and Russia, it is widely used in the treatment of sore
throat, rhinitis, and laryngitis. Linden honey mixed with lemon
is used to overcome upcoming colds, and along with tea is said
to help in the treatment of liver and gall bladder, and relieve
inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. It is applied
externally to help heal festering sores on the skin, eczema, and
burns.
This gorgeous healer lifts my spirits and impassions my poetic
self and I do hope that you will find some near ou that you can
enjoy and perhaps create from .  At the very least you could tie
some leaves and flowers back and hang them upside down for
a week to dry out, then store in a paper bag and use make
yourself some tea on the days you need a bit of a lift in your
spirits.  
Until next month,
Your medicine is in the woods.
Your pharmacy is in your kitchen.
Much love!
Next, fill your jar with the locally sourced, unpasteurized
honey and let sit for several weeks, turning over a few
times a day to well coat and mix the flowers and honey.
 Let sit for several week for a full infusion in a sunny
window.
