Hawthorn is a sacred medicine tree with a particular affinity for the heart. It is a nourishing heart tonic rich in antioxidants.
Hawthorn is a favourite remedy for heart conditions for herbalists all over the world! A safe, gentle and effective herb, it works best when given long term to make best of its restorative benefits. The leaves, flowers and berries have all been used (and still are) to very good effect.
Traditionally hawthorn has been used for strengthening the heart and circulation making it a supportive aid for those with mild high blood pressure, angina and even more serious heart conditions (use with the guidance of a professional healthcare practitioner).
The secret is all in the dose and preparation. Taken regularly, Hawthorn will offer reliable, safe support to the heart and circulation.
Hawthorn berries are a wonderful example of a herb being both a food and a medicine.
Hawthorn grows wild in New Zealand, the berries can be gathered in Autumn (watch out for the sharp thorns!) and made into vinegars, sauces and relishes! It is from the Rosaceae family, same as apples, and will thicken when simmered.
Although Hawthorn itself is very safe, some of the conditions people use it treat are potentially very serious - even life threatening. If you have, or think you might have a serious heart condition, please see your healthcare provider. In such cases it would be best to use hawthorn alongside other herbs, lifestyle measures, supplements and if necessary medications.
