Plant Medicine Summary: Hawthorn

Hawthorn is especially amazing for men because of it's cardiovascular benefits. If you have a heart issue, Hawthorn is probably a great place to start with herbal support!

Brief History

The Hawthorn tree species, which is related to the rose family, was first grown during the 1st century in the Mediterranean basin which includes parts of Asia, Europe, and Africa. Its tangley, thorny branches were believed to have been used to create the crown of thorns that Christ wore on the cross. 

Hawthorn (Crataegus species) has been used to treat heart disease as far back as the 1st century. By the early 1800's, American doctors were using it to treat circulatory disorders and respiratory illnesses. Traditionally, the berries were used to treat heart problems ranging from irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, chest pain, hardening of the arteries, and heart failure. Today, the leaves and flowers are used medicinally. There is even research to suggest that hawthorn might be effective when used in the treatment of mild-to-moderate heart failure.
 

How Do I Use It?

We believe the easiest way to use Hawthorn is either in a glycerite or tincture. Take 1/4-1 dropper full each day, or 1 capsule morning and night. Our Men's Miracle Mix has a high amount of Hawthorn in it. If you are suffering from blood pressure issues, cardiovascular issues or respiratory issues. 

Please note: This herb helps to strengthen and support all of the above systems. It is NOT meant to replace any medications! Please check with your health care provider if you are using specific medications for blood pressure or heart.
