Early herbalists used a tea distilled from the flowers of lime as a cure for epilepsy. It was even thought that just sitting under a lime tree could cure people of epileptic fits.
Lime tree was also used in the treatment of low blood pressure and to cure certain nervous disorders. Catarrh, coughs and headaches were all thought to be eased by it, as were fevers.
Externally it was used on the skin to soothe rashes.
