Hawthorn is often used to promote healthy cardiovascular function. This fruit-bearing plant’s berries, leaves, and flowers contain a variety of bioflavonoids that are potent antioxidants. For a heart to be truly healthy there must be a steady and strong flow of blood and nutrients to the heart muscles. Besides an effective circulatory system, this ensures overall vitality and well-being. As long ago as the 1st Century A.D., when it was thought to be used by the Greek herbalist, Dioscorides, hawthorn has been employed as a tool for helping the heart. But aside from general heart health, it may also help to strengthen the heart muscles’ contractions, and may improve coronary artery blood flow. Plus, this herb lowers peripheral blood vessels’ resistance to blood flow, thus improving circulation to the extremities. In studies, hawthorn leaf and flower extracts have been proven to be beneficial for people with stage II (early-stage) congestive heart failure. It was shown that after taking 160-900 mg of hawthorn extract per day for 8 weeks, congestive heart failure patients showed improved quality of life. This included a greater ability to exercise without shortness of breath and exhaustion. [more info | order now]
