Relieve chronic heart conditions.:
Mainly, hawthorn is taken orally to relieve chronic heart conditions -- primarily congestive heart failure, but also angina and arrhythmias. Chemicals in hawthorn may act directly on the heart muscle to increase the force of heartbeats and on the blood vessels to relax the arteries around the heart. It may also lengthen the time that the heart rests between beats. Hawthorn may also work indirectly by widening blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. As a result, it may also help to lower blood pressure. Due to its multiple effects on the heart, hawthorn should not be taken before its use has been discussed with a doctor.
Chemicals in hawthorn may have other effects, as well. Based on the observation that hawthorn produces a mild soothing effect, it may be used occasionally to treat anxiety and insomnia. No clinical studies have been published to prove or disprove hawthorn's soothing effect, however. In animal studies, hawthorn has also appeared to lower cholesterol levels both by reducing the production of cholesterol and by increasing the breakdown of cholesterol by the body. One small study conducted in humans seemed to show similar cholesterol-lowering results, but further research is needed to verify these results.
Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) A member of the rose family, Hawthorn was hung over the doorway in the Middle Ages to prevent the entry of evil spirits. By the early 1800's, American physicians recognized the herb's medicinal properties and began using it to treat circulatory disorders and respiratory illnesses. Considered a "cardiotonic" herb, the antioxidants found in hawthorn can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause. Today, many professional herbalists believe that the antioxidants in hawthorn may help protect against heart disease and help control high blood pressure and high cholesterol. This has led to the reputation of Hawthorn being amazing for the human heart. The leaves are more potent than the berries, but it has proven quite beneficial for treating mild heart disease, angina pectoris, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, nervous heart, arteriosclerosis and to assist peripheral circulation. It is especially important in helping to balance the autonomic nervous system, which is essential for stressed individuals that are sympathetic dominant.
