Recommendations for the day

Garden

Waning moon: by tradition it favours sowing and planting root vegetables, pruning, weeding, working the soil and manuring. Produce harvested now is said to keep better.

Flower day: the day for sowing, planting and tending flowers. By tradition cut flowers last longer today, and herbs gathered for their flowers are best picked now.

Lifestyle

Waning moon: by tradition a time of letting go, cleansing and tidying up. It favours decluttering, lighter meals and finishing tasks.

Light day: a day of lightness and connection. A good day for conversations, learning, fresh air and a little music.

Household

Air the rooms well on a light day; by tradition it is a good day for cleaning windows and airing bedding.

Nutrition

Fat day: in the traditional moon calendar the quality of fats comes to the fore. Light, good-quality oils such as olive oil, and nuts, are a good choice today.

Herb of the day

Lime (linden) flower

Tilia cordata, Tilia platyphyllos

Flower day: by tradition the part of the plant to gather today

The flowers of our lime trees, fragrant in early June: a classic of winter teas.

Description

The flower clusters of small- and large-leaved lime are gathered together with their bract when most flowers have opened. They contain mucilage, flavonoids and a little essential oil.

Traditional use

Traditionally drunk as a hot tea in the cold season, to promote sweating and soothe coughs, and as a calming evening drink.

Preparation

Tea: pour 200 ml of hot water on a tablespoon (about 2 g) of flowers, cover and steep for 5–10 minutes. Sip slowly while hot.

Caution

Generally well tolerated; rarely it may cause an allergic reaction. With fever or a lingering illness, see a doctor.
