Hawthorn (Crataegus oxycantha) is a small thorny tree or shrub that produces brilliant red clusters of berries that are rich in flavonoids and proanthocyanidins.. Native to the Mediterranean region including north Africa and all of Europe and central Asia, Hawthorn can now be found in many areas of North America. According to Christian legend, the Crown of Thorns, was believed to be made of Hawthorn. Therefore, the herb was thought to possess miraculous health properties. In ancient Greece, Hawthorn was a symbol of hope and happiness, while in Rome it was considered a potent charm. It is considered an important herb for the normal health and function of the cardiovascular system. The flavonoids and proanthocyanidins are powerful antioxidants that exert a beneficial effect on blood vessels. Additionally, Hawthorne berry is known to have a relaxing effect on the cardiovascular system therefore reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension. No side effect if taken as directed. Clinical Studies There has been a significant amount of solid research regarding the use of hawthorn as a treatment for congestive heart failure. Between 1981 and 1994, 14 controlled clinical studies of hawthorn were performed, most of them double-blind.3,4,5 In all, 741 people participated in these trials. The cumulative results strongly suggest that hawthorn is an effective treatment for congestive heart failure. Comparative studies suggest that hawthorn is about as effective as a low dose of the conventional drug captopril.References 1. Schulz V, Hansel R, Tyler VE.
