| howthorn berris plant |
Hawthorn is an extremely
valuable medicinal tree. It is used mainly for treating disorders of the heartand circulation system, especially angina. Western herbalists consider it
a "food for the heart", it increases the blood flow to the heart
muscles and restores normal heart beat. This effect is brought about by the
presence of bioflavonoids in the fruit, these bioflavonoids are also strongly
antioxidant, helping to prevent or reduce degeneration of the blood vessels.
The fruit is antispasmodic, cardiac, diuretic, sedative, tonic and vasodilator.
Both the fruits and flowers of hawthorns are well-known in herbal folk medicine
as a heart tonic and modern research has borne out this use.
Hawthorn
is used for diseases of the heart and blood vessels such as congestive heartfailure (CHF), chest pain, and irregular heartbeat. It is also used to treat
both low blood pressure and high blood pressure, “hardening of the arteries”
(atherosclerosis), and high cholesterol. So far, research suggests that
hawthorn might be effective in treating congestive heart failure, but there
hasn’t been enough research on other heart-related uses to know if it is
effective for them.
Some
people use hawthorn for digestive system complaints such as indigestion,
diarrhea, and stomach pain. It is also used to reduce anxiety, as a sedative,
to increase urine output, and for menstrual problems.
Hawthorn
is also used to treat tapeworm and other intestinal infections.
Some
people apply hawthorn to the skin for boils, sores, and ulcers. Hawthorn
preparations are used as a wash for sores, itching, and frostbite.
You
will find hawthorn among the ingredients in candied fruit slices, jam, jelly,
and wine.
How
does it work?
Hawthorn
can help improve the amount of blood pumped out of the heart during
contractions, widen the blood vessels, and increase the transmission of nervesignals.
