It’s a nervine with an affinity for the chest and pectorals, indicated through its Latin name pectoralis.

Our resident herbalist, The Garden Jules says: The flavor profile is sweet with a slight bitterness similar to a bitter amaretto. It makes a delicious herb for syrups or elixirs, syrups being water and sweetener preparations and elixirs being alcohol and sweetener preparations. I love to combine this herb with roses for a heart opening tisane. Specifically indicated for anxiety dealing with the heart, indicated by a racing heart, tight chest feeling, or heart palpitations. Be careful not to confuse this plant with Linden Tree which grows in more temperate climates and is often referred to by its Latin name of Tilia.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTill thrives in moist soil conditions and can take full or partial sun, with full sun making the plant shorter and the leaves less tender.
