    Hawthorn Berry for Heart: Angina, High B/P, Arrhythmia & CHF. berries soaking

    Hawthorn and the heart have a loving relationship. This wonderful herb can both lower high blood pressure and raise low blood pressure. 

    Being a long time cardiac OR nurse, I learned that both naturopathic and allopathic doctors in Europe routinely prescribed hawthorn herb (Cratageus) to prevent and revert cardiovascular diseases.

    Commission E, the German version of the FDA, approves hawthorn for heart problems. It is one of their most prescribed heart remedies. 

    With the current American mindset heavily weighted on pharma drugs with multiple side-effects, I feel we are missing better solutions before we get sick. As an adaptogen, it is best to allow hawthorn several weeks to several months to adjust a damaged system. Hawthorn works well with other tonic herbs and strengthens their effect on the body. (source)

    Hawthorn (Crataegus species, a.k.a. Mayhaw and Thornapple) grows all over Eurasia and the Americas and has hundreds of species adapted to their native climate.  

    How does hawthorn support cardiovascular health?

    • Appears to improve the metabolism of the heart, thereby increasing strength and promoting regular contractions of the heart, helping to normalize arrhythmias 8
    • Has a relaxing effect that helps regulate blood pressure 9
    • Can be useful in the recovery period after a heart attack by strengthening the heart muscle, and improving blood flow and oxygen to the heart, and in treating congestive heart failure10 11
    • Helps prevent free radical damage1213
    • Improves blood flow, oxygen and nutrients to the heart by dilating blood vessels7 8, and helps alleviate the pain associated with angina

    Hawthorn is known to revert arrhythmia. It’s a mildly calming herb used to prevent stress-related palpitations. (source)

    It should be no surprise that it also tones capillaries in other parts of the body. Bloodshot eyes, glaucoma, varicose veins and hemorrhoids are all soothed by including hawthorn in the treatment plan.

    A Cochrane review of trials on hawthorn for congestive heart failure found that hawthorn, “..decreased fatigue and shortness of breath and improved exercise tolerance.“

    Importantly, its antimicrobial actions stop low-level infections like those associated with gum disease from harming the heart. (source)

    Renowned western herbalist and author Susun Weed writes, “There are no known contraindications and no overdose of hawthorn.”

    Dr. Axe recommends not taking hawthorn if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not give hawthorn products to children.

    In the European Journal of Heart Failure) the authors write that hawthorn extract “can reduce the incidence of sudden cardiac death in patients with compromised left ventricular function.”

    Hawthorn Berry for Heart: Angina, High B/P, Arrhythmia & CHF. drying berries

    Berries I picked last fall and dried. Hawthorn is member of the rose family, and thus closely related to rose hips, apples, cherries, apricots, and almonds.

      If you need something immediately (or as you wait for your tincture to brew), Hawthorn is readily available online as:

      • a tincture
      • in capsules
      • or in tablets

      Hawthorne Berry Tincture Recipe & Directions:

      If you pick your own berries, pick them when bright red from a properly-identified Hawthorn tree before hard frost in Autumn, remove from stems and allow them to dry a few weeks or more till wrinkled.

      1. Fill a pint or quart jar halfway with dried Hawthorn Berries
      2. Completely cover by 1 inch with Vodka (80 proof) and cap tightly
      3. Steep contents for 5-6 months in a dark cool cabinet to fully extract medicinal properties. It will be quite red when finished.
      4. During this period, shake the jar 1-2 times a week to mix contents
      5. When finished, strain off the tincture through a coffee filter, etc. into a measuring cup with pour spout and then pour into amber dropper bottles and label
      6. Discard the exhausted berries

      Storage: Any alcohol-based tincture will have an indefinite shelf life and thus are wonderful for the prepared homemaker’s medicine cabinet. 

      Christopher Hobbs, Ph.D. writes:

      “I have a special affection for this herb, because it helped my father strengthen his heart and significantly increase the quality of his circulation. Twenty-six years ago he had a heart attack and has been taking hawthorn in extract form for over 15 years with excellent results.

      In my own experience, it is the first herb, besides garlic, that should be added to one’s daily dietary regimen when there is any suspicion of problems of cardiovascular disease. If one has a family member who has heart or vascular problems, or for people eating a diet that includes moderate to high levels of fat (especially from dairy products or red meat), or who are stressed or using stimulants (such as coffee), hawthorn is an excellent protector.

      Hawthorn works slowly, like all herbal tonics. It should be taken for at least 3 months, up to several years or longer, if needed. It is safe to use concurrently with allopathic drugs such as digoxin and may even allow a person to reduce the dose of this commonly prescribed, but highly toxic medicine.

      In this modern age with its times of stress and anxiety, it is reassuring that nature has provided such a gentle yet effective cardiovascular protector as hawthorn.”

      How to Take Hawthorne Berry Tincture: 

      A dose is a dropperful of tincture, taken first thing in the morning and last thing at night. For the first three months of use, a third dose, mid-day, may be added. 

      Hawthorn tea is typically made by steeping two teaspoonfuls of dried leaves and flowers in a cup of boiling water for twenty minutes. Traditional European herbalists always add a spoon of raw honey to hawthorn tea. (source)

      ‘Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you.’ ~Genesis 1:29

      Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

      Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
      Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
