Hawthorn, also known as Crateagus oxycanthus, is a highly valued herb for heart and circulatory health. Grown in Poland and Croatia, this powerful herb is Australian certified organic before repackaging. Hawthorn berries are rich in antioxidants and have a normalizing effect on the heart, helping to either stimulate or calm its activity as needed. They are particularly beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure, heart palpitations, high cholesterol, and angina. Hawthorn also supports circulation, making it useful for erectile dysfunction and impotence. Traditionally, people have used Hawthorn as a cardiac tonic to strengthen the heart, improve blood flow, and repair tissue after heart attacks. Its key herbal actions include being a vasodilator, circulatory tonic, anti-inflammatory, and both hypotensive and hypertensive, meaning it can help regulate blood pressure. To prepare, simmer 2 teaspoons of Hawthorn berries in a cup of water for 10 minutes and take it three times daily. Packaged in a home-compostable, reusable zip-lock pouch, this product is eco-friendly and vegan-friendly. However, use caution if you are taking vasodilating drugs, as Hawthorn may have additive effects. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice. Whether you’re looking to support heart health, improve circulation, or manage blood pressure, Hawthorn is a trusted herb with a long history of traditional use.
