American Basswood

• American Basswood has been traditionally used in North American herbalism for promoting restful sleep, often prepared as a tea. The flowers and leaves are steeped to create an infusion that may help ease into sleep.

  The mechanism by which Tilia americana supports sleep is not fully characterised but is thought to involve compounds such as flavonoids and mucilage, which have soothing properties.
