WHAT IS HAWTHORN?
Hawthorne is a flowering shrub that is part of the Rosaceae, or rose, family. It is native to northern Europe, but now grows throughout the world. The red berry-like fruit of this spiny plant is sometimes called "haw," and has been used for both health aiding and culinary purposes. Hawthorn, also part of the Crataegus species and has been used to help with heart complications as far back as the 1st century. By the early 1800s, American doctors were using it to help with circulatory disorders and respiratory problems. Traditionally, hawthorn berry's leaves are know to be edible as well.
WHAT IS HAWTHORN USED FOR?
Studies report that hawthorn contains antioxidants, including oligomeric procyandins, or OPCs, which are also found in grapes, and quercetin. Antioxidants are substances that destroy free radicals, which are compounds in the body that damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Free radicals occur naturally in the body and grow in number as we age. Scientists believe free radicals contribute to the aging process (such as wrinkling), as well as the development of a number of health problems. Antioxidants in hawthorn may help stop some of the damage from free radicals, especially when it comes to the heart. The berries contain antioxidants that have a variety of therapeutic effects including strengthening the walls of blood vessels. Extracts of hawthorn berries, leaves and blossoms also contain compounds that have a tonifying effect on the heart and vascular system. Hawthorn has been studied for its use in helping with health concerns related to the heart and blood vessels for quite some time now. And the results speak for themselves.
HAWTHORN BERRY AND THE HEART AND BLOOD PRESSURE
A study of 92 men and women diagnosed with primary mild hypertension were administered a hawthorn flower extract or placebo for four months. Data was collected on blood pressure readings monthly. At the end of the study the researchers concluded that the group receiving the hawthorn flower extract demonstrated a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after the three months. This proves the established hypothesis that hawthorn extract lowers blood pressure to be true. If you also have frequent chest pain or high blood pressure, taking hawthorn berry may definitely improve your condition.
Compounds in hawthorn berry improve blood flow to the coronary artery and strengthen contractions of the heart muscle, according to the University of Michigan Health System. These effects lead to a decrease in congestive heart failure symptoms, such as chest pressure and heart palpitations. Hawthorn berry also improves circulation to your extremities and reduces high blood pressure by decreasing resistance in blood vessels and arteries. Hawthorn dilates the blood vessels and helps to improve blood transport to all parts of the body. The herb seems to have dampening effect on atherosclerosis, and it can be useful for people who struggle with confusion and poor memory caused by reduced blood supply to the brain.
AND THE HAWTHORN EXTRACT
Hawthorn tea is additionally helpful for dealing with . This is one of the most talked about uses of hawthorn, but in many traditional practices, hawthorn was used for certain psychological conditions, including stress, , and even depression. Very often, hawthorn was offered to people who had recently had a broken heart, a loss of a family member, etc. because it was said to improve mood and “mend a broken heart”. Enzymatically, it turns out that hawthorn may have an impact on the various chemical levels within our body, which would explain why so many cultures of the past believed in those health benefits! The main symptoms of which hawthorn efficiently treats are chest tightness as well as heart palpitations. Researchers describe that hawthorn might have exactly the same mechanism of action for as it does for heart conditions, that is lessening the resistance of blood circulation within your body, therefore lowering blood pressure level as well as tension.
ANTIOXIDANTS WITHIN THE HAWTHORN EXTRACT
Hawthorne berries are high in antioxidant content. With their distinctive reddish-purple color, they contain a unique mixture of pigment chemicals called flavonoids. Flavonoids are antioxidants which have the ability to scavenge free radicals in the body, reducing the effects of cellular oxidation and the negative effects of inflammation. The flavonoid component of the berry also aids in lowering overall levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream and strengthening the structural components of collagen in the walls of our arteries and blood vessels. If the collagen is stronger, our vessels are less likely to develop any buildup of plaque.
