Hawthorn - the Heart's Best Friend

posted on 4 February 2006 | posted in Health Articles


Hawthorn is one of the best remedies for the whole of the heart and circulatory system. It has a normalizing action on the heart according to need, either tonifying it as in congestive heart failure or weakness, or depressing it as in palpitations. Problems of the circulatory system such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, angina pectoris and even varicose veins and varicose ulcers are also helped by taking hawthorn. Sportsmen use hawthorn to sustain the heart under maximum effort, for it enhances excercise duration.

Though hawthorn berries contain many chemicals, it is felt that bioflavonoids and cardiotonic amines are largely responsible for its beneficial activities.

These ingredients:

  • Dilate the coronary arteries, leading to an improvement in the blood supply to the heart


  • Improve the metabolic processes of the heart, resulting in an increase in the force of contraction and the elimination of some types of rhythm disturbance


  • It can inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) thereby lowering levels of angiotensin 11, a potent constrictor of blood vessels that is implicated in the causation of high blood pressure


  • Collagen stabilizing effects of hawthorne isoflavonoids are probably responsible for its effect in ameliorating atherosclerosis. For an excellent herbal combination to help resolve this, see Lime Formula (Helps with Atherosclerosis) or buy the single herb hawthorne in capsules Hawthorn Berries Fluid Extract
