Health Information

Medical practitioners in Europe and China use Hawthorn to help treat early stages of congestive heart failure, characterised by diminished cardiac function, a sensation of pressure or anxiety in the heart area, age related heart disorders, which do not require digitalis and mild arrhythmias. Numerous pharmacological and clinical studies have shown that hawthorn fruit or berry extract improves blood flow to and from the heart by strengthening its contractions. Hawthorn flower and leaf extracts improve circulation to the extremities by reducing resistance in the arteries. Experiments in China have shown that preparations of hawthorn fruit lower blood pressure and serum cholesterol levels, and are therefore useful in prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis.
