It is used to make stress-relieving teas. I'm trying to see what this is called in English so i can keyword the image. The photo can be seen here: http://nugar.com/gallery2/gallery2embedded.php? g2_itemId=5754 You will notice that the plant itself is under heavy attack by some plague. Also, what is this tool called?: http://nugar.com/gallery2/gallery2embedded.php? g2_itemId=5756 Thanks in advance, Quote \| Reply \| Report

I found something along the same lines, but the actual linden leaves seem to come from a tree and not from a herb. I see that frequently, the same names are used for different plants. For example I have a plant that is called "anis" here, and it does smell and taste like anise, but it is actually a mexican marigold! Quote \| Reply \| Report
