Applications
Hawthorn improves the circulation and is used for strengthening the heart. The leaves and berries contain bioflavonoids that promote equilibrium and can increase or decrease the heart’s activity as required. The herb is particularly recommended for addressing the symptoms of congestive heart failure.
As a circulatory tonic, hawthorn can be used in the management of high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and angina. The plant is sometimes used by sportsmen to increase the heart’s durability under maximum physical effort.

How to Use
Herbalists recommend at least 4–5 grams per day of traditional dried berry preparations. Hawthorn is slow acting and may take one to two months for maximum effects to be seen. However, it appears to be safe and should be considered a long-term therapy. |

Safety Data
There are no known contraindications when consumed within the recommended dosage range.
Anyone taking prescription cardiac medications should consult their doctor before using hawthorn-containing products.

About the Product
One of the best tonic remedies for the heart and circulatory system.
Hawthorn berries have traditionally been used to treat heart problems, including hypertension with myocardial weakness, angina, tachycardia and other circulatory disorders. The flowers and berries have also been used as an astringent for sore throats and as a diuretic for kidney problems and dropsy.
Clinical trials have confirmed that hawthorn leaf and flower extracts are beneficial for people with early stage congestive heart failure. This is obviously a serious medical condition that requires expert management rather than self-treatment.
Scientific study has also shown hawthorn to be helpful in boosting circulation in the extremities and for those with stable angina.
