Hawthorn is used especially as a hypotensive agent (for vasodilation), myocarditis, palpitations, heart pain, vascular spasms, arrhythmia, tachycardia and arteriosclerosis. It is also antispasmodic; acts as a tranquilizer in nervous system conditions and in cases of insomnia and irritability. It should be used with medical advice.





Tisane for heart toning

An excellent cardiac tonic can be prepared in the form of a herbal tea, using between 50 and 60 grams per liter of flower buds collected just before opening, and which have previously been allowed to dry in the shade.


Caution: High doses (more than twelve times) can cause respiratory depression and slow heart rate.
