Product Notes:
Hawthorn shrubs and trees grow in several continents (Asia, Europe, and North America), where their brownish-white flowers, rose-like leaves, and deep red berries have traditionally been used as a heart tonic (either alone or in combination), and they continue to figure in many natural health products for cardiovascular health (to moderate blood pressure, for example).
Hawthorn was first mentioned in the journal of Pedanius Dioscorides, a Greek physician from the first century. Modern scientific studies have identified several bioactive components in it, including OPCs (Oligomeric Procyanidins), which have been found to possess powerful free radical scavenging activity. Some studies have found it to be able to act as a tonic: to help relax the heart, lower the diastolic blood pressure in some (those with type II diabetes), and help produce a more regular heart beat.
