Hawthorn, a member of the rose family, is one of the oldest natural herbal medicines used in Europe. Its use also has a long history in Native American and ancient Greek medicine. Herbalists recognized early that hawthorn held great promise for helping heart related problems.
Hawthorn has been studied thoroughly and is shown to dilate coronary arteries, thus increasing blood flow. It also works to support normal blood pressure levels, and ease the heart’s workload by dilating arteries in the arms and legs.
Hawthorn has long been used in Europe for people with congestive heart failure. Through a course of studies, scientists concluded that hawthorn consistently improved heart function, improved patient’s ability to exercise and improved symptoms of the disease (such as shortness of breath and fatigue).
Hawthorn also shows promise for relieving the symptoms of angina. Because it is high in antioxidants, hawthorn helps protect against the formation of plaque that leads to atherosclerosis.
Hawthorn is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. Studies have shown it to be beneficial to several heart functions, including promoting regular rhythms, improving circulation, and maintaining normal blood pressure. Vitabase is now offering organic hawthorn as a liquid supplement. Each 1 ml serving contains 333 mg of hawthorn.
