Hawthorn is
very popular in Europe, where it is used in a number of herbal
tinctures, combinations and teas. The berries’ effects on the
circulatory system have been well studied.
They have a high
bioflavonoid content, primarily rutin and quercetin, which are also
high powered antioxidants.
In certain
countries the people make jams etc with the berries and also use the
leaves and flowers. (certain species)
I had a friend
who, along with her friends, used to eat these berries straight off
the hawthorn hedges on the way to school, but I don't know what age
she was. She may have needed the nutrition these berries contain.
Children of course
would not need this herb usually, especially in the concentrated
encapsulated form. When they eat the berries off the tree, usually
they know when to stop, and that is entirely different to having it
in concentrated form.
For adults though,
the product has valuable nutrition for the heart and circulation.
It is also in a combination along with garlic and cayenne pepper,
named “HS 11”, a wonderful combination and one that I prefer
over Hawthorn by itself.
For those that
can't tolerate capsicum and/or garlic, the Hawthorn by itself is
really good.
Common names: hawthorn, english
hawthorn, harthorne, haw, hawthorne, may day flower, may blossom.
Precautions:
Do not use with
heart and circulation drugs or blood thinners.
If on any drugs
for any problem at all, check first to see if this herb is
compatible.
If pregnant or
lactating seek advice first.
Use only as
necessary.
If symptoms
persist please see your health professional.
