Hawthorn Tincture Information
Hawthorn (Crataegus species), a member of the rose family, was hung over the doorway in the Middle Ages to prevent the entry of evil spirits. By the early 1800's, physicians recognized the herb's medicinal properties and began using it to treat circulatory disorders and respiratory illnesses. Considered a "cardiotonic" herb, the flowers and berries of the hawthorn plant have been used to treat irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, chest pain, hardening of the arteries, and congestive heart failure. Although hawthorn has not been studied specifically in people with high blood pressure, considerable evidence supports the cardiovascular benefits of this herb. Studies suggest that hawthorn can be taken safely by people with hypertension who are also taking blood pressure medications. Laboratory studies have found that hawthorn contains active compounds with antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals.
Contraindications : If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use hawthorn.
