The Hawthorn (Crataegus Oxyacantha) belongs to a large family of shrubs and trees that thrive in Europe, Asia, and North America.

The useful parts of the plant are its leaves, flowers, and fruits. In modern herbal therapy, the dried leaves and flowers of Hawthorn are mainly used for addressing heart and circulatory problems.

Consuming Hawthorn expands the coronary and peripheral arteries, improving blood circulation to the heart. The procyanidins found in Hawthorn leaves slow down the heart rate.

Hawthorn is considered valuable in reducing high blood pressure, treating angina, and cardiac arrhythmias, as well as addressing conditions related to heart valves.

Hawthorn contains a multitude of active ingredients, including antioxidant flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and procyanidins.

Herbs are and should be treated as medicines.

It is always recommended to consult your doctor before taking them.
