Hawthorn is one of the oldest-known medicinal plants used in Europe and is now considered to be the most significant herb for the maintenance of a healthy heart.
Pharmacological investigations have shown that the main components responsible in terms of helping the circulatory system to perform at its peak, are the flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins.
The modern uses for hawthorn have come from the New York Heart Association which has studied and accepted the many clinical trials. I am always confident recommending hawthorn in my teabag range as it is one of the most useful herbs for improving heart health and to help optimise cardiovascular, circulatory and heart function.
