Hawthorn

Heart herb

PROPERTIES: Relaxes the peripheral blood vessels, cardiac, tonic, astringent.

Hawthorn tincture has ingredients that relax and dilate the arteries, especially the coronary artery. It increases heart muscle blood flow and reduces angina symptoms. It helps prevent or reduce the degeneration of blood vessels and acts supportively in the treatment of angina and coronary artery disease. It is useful in cases of mild heart failure due to congestion and abnormal heartbeat. It has been observed that it restores blood pressure to normal.

A significant number of lab tests have confirmed the value of Hawthorn in the treatment of chronic heart failure. A 1994 lab test in Germany showed that Hawthorn improves heart rate and lowers blood pressure.

Like all herbs, Hawthorn works in harmony with the body’s normal functions and it takes time for changes to occur.
