Hawthorn, often called “the heat herb” for its various cardio-protective abilities is prized for its ability to uplift and strengthen the heart both emotionally and physically. The hawthorn berry has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for all kinds of heart concerns. Hawthorn fruit, leaves, and flowers are all used medicinally today. They come in the form of little red berries and were enjoyed by Native American tribes as well.
The hawthorn bush, also called thornapple or May-tree is a plant of the Rosaceae family with the genus Crataegus. Hawthorn can come in the form of a thorny hawthorn bush or a hawthorn tree, typically found growing along the sides of sunny wooded hills. The plant has berries and flowers that bloom in May and come in red, pink, and white. The berries typically form after the flowers have bloomed, and turn red in color when fully ripe. They are, however, sometimes black and are a mix of sweet and sour.
Hawthorn berries have numerous flavonoids which are potent antioxidants known to effectively decrease inflammation while boosting immune function. These antioxidant flavonoids help to improve blood flow, guard against blood vessel damage, and even help to dilate blood vessels. These flavonoids include OPCS (oligomeric proanthocyanidins).
In addition to these flavonoids, hawthorn berries, flowers, and leaves are recommended by many herbal practitioners as natural blood pressure reducers. Numerous studies have also shown that hawthorn berry extract may be a helpful natural remedy for the reduction of bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol, liver cholesterol, triglycerides). Hawthorn berries are also said to be an overall health improver as it is a free radical scavenger. Free radicals can cause cellular damage, so this is extremely beneficial to human health.
Though uncommon, hawthorn may cause nausea, upset stomach, fatigue, sweating, headache, dizziness, palpitations, nosebleeds, insomnia, agitation and other side effects for some users.
