The traditional botanical hawthorn, in use since the 1600's, has been the most popular herb in America and Europe for supporting the heart for more than 300 years. Rich in flavonoids and procyanidins, hawthorn's primary activity is its unique ability to both increase coronary blood flow and increase the contractile strength of the heart, making for a stronger, more efficient heartbeat.
Hawthorn Crataegus spp. is a small thorny tree with white flowers and red berries. It originated on the hillsides and sunny slopes of England, Europe, and North America. Hawthorn has been the subject of botanical writings since as early as the first century A.D. Herbalists traditionally used all parts of the hawthorn plant, which has been regarded as the most important cardiac tonic in both Chinese and Western herbalism. A syrup of hawthorn berries was reportedly used as a heart tonic by the private physician of King Henry IV of France.
Today modern research is confirming traditional beliefs about hawthorn. Hawthorn has been shown in animal studies to positively influence the contraction of heart muscle. More significantly, 14 clinical studies on humans have shown positive results for cardiovascular health. Hawthorn's bioflavonoids have documented antioxidant activity, which is vital for protecting the heart from the ravages of free radicals.
