Summary Linden tea has been used in folk medicine to promote sweating and is thought to be a diuretic. Thus, this purported health benefit warrants further investigation ( 1). The bulk of the available data regarding this association is anecdotal, though it spans back to the Middle Ages. At this time, scientific evidence directly linking linden tea and its chemical properties to diuretic effects is insufficient ( 1). These effects may be caused by the combination of its plant compounds, specifically quercetin, kaempferol, and p-coumaric acid. In Germany, 1–2 cups (235–470 ml) of linden tea at bedtime is approved for use as a sweat-promoting infusion in adults and children over 12 years old ( 1). Linden tea has been used in folk medicine to promote sweating and productive coughs when a minor illness like a cold takes hold ( 1). A diuretic is a substance that encourages your body to excrete more fluid, while a diaphoretic is a substance that’s used to cool a fever by encouraging sweat ( 12, 13). The inner bark of the Tilia tree has been associated with diuretic and diaphoretic effects. Still, more research is needed to determine how much of the tea you would need to drink to reap this potential benefit and whether the amount would be safe. Summary Tiliroside and quercetin - two antioxidants in linden tea - may help reduce pain. Additional research is needed to determine how much of this beverage is needed to relieve pain. The amount of quercetin or other flavonoids in linden tea differs greatly depending on the brand and the proportions of buds, leaves, and bark in a particular blend.Īs a result, it’s impossible to know how much of these antioxidants you may be getting in a single cup of tea. Adults in the United States consume 10 mg of this antioxidant daily, on average, though this number varies greatly depending on your diet, with 80 mg per day being considered a high intake ( 10, 11). However, keep in mind that 500 mg of quercetin is a lot. One study found giving 45.5 mg of tiliroside per pound (100 mg per kg) of body weight to mice with swollen paws reduced swelling and pain by nearly 27% and 31%, respectively ( 6).Īnother 8-week study in 50 women with rheumatoid arthritis, which is characterized by painful and stiff joints, found that supplementing with 500 mg of quercetin, an antioxidant in linden tea, significantly improved pain symptoms and markers of inflammation ( 9, 10, 11). Interestingly, some of the antioxidants in linden tea may ease pain ( 8). Chronic inflammation is associated with many diseases, including diabetes and cancer.Ĭhronic pain affects millions of people around the world. Summary Linden tea contains powerful antioxidants like tiliroside and kaempferol that help fight inflammation. Plus, some studies show that it may provide cancer-fighting properties ( 5).Īs the amount of these antioxidants may vary by brand and tea blend, more research is needed to determine how much linden tea you would need to drink to reduce inflammation. Kaempherol may fight inflammation as well.

Free radicals can cause oxidative damage, which can lead to inflammation ( 1, 6, 7). Tiliroside is a potent antioxidant that acts by scavenging free radicals in your body. Flavonoids are a type of antioxidant in Tilia flowers, whereas tiliroside, quercetin, and kaempferol are specifically associated with linden buds ( 1, 3, 4, 5).
