Hawthorn for heart health

The hawthorn plant (Crataegus genus) has been used traditionally for a variety of ailments including cardiovascular health.

The flowers and leaves contain flavonoids which produce the following effects to help maintain and support cardiovascular health in adults:

- dilates coronary blood vessels
- lower blood pressure
- restore heart muscle
- decrease fat deposit levels
- increase intracellular vitamin C levels

There are a number of hawthorn products in our store! Remember to consult your physician or naturopath if you are taking cardiac glycosides such as digitalis/digoxin, or blood pressure medication.
