Description of Hawthorn

Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), also known as **May tree** or **Whitethorn**, has been used for centuries in **Traditional European** and **Chinese medicine** to support cardiovascular health. The herb is particularly valued for improving heart function, reducing high blood pressure, and protecting the arteries from atherosclerosis. Hawthorn’s powerful flavonoids and proanthocyanidins are responsible for its heart-healthy effects, as they help improve blood circulation, strengthen blood vessels, and reduce oxidative stress. It is also commonly used to relieve anxiety and support overall circulatory health. Modern research confirms the use of Hawthorn for heart failure, blood pressure regulation, and anxiety relief.
