The plant: Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha)
Hawthorn is a thorny shrub or small tree belonging to the Rosaceae family – the same family as roses, apples and cherries. It grows wild throughout Europe, North Africa and Western Asia, along woodland edges, in hedgerows and on hillsides.
In European tradition, Hawthorn has been known for centuries as the "plant of the heart". In spring it is covered with delicate white blossoms, followed by small red berries in autumn. The flowers and leaves are the parts richest in flavonoids and polyphenols – and these are the very parts used for our extract.
Leaves and flowers are harvested in spring during the blooming period, when the active compound content is at its peak.
How to use
Dosage: 5-10 drops in a glass of water or herbal tea, 2-3 times daily. Traditionally, evening use is recommended.
