In Europe, hawthorn is widely recognised as a safe and effective treatment for the initial stages of heart disease. Hawthorn is a complete medicine as its leaves, berries and flowers are used to make medicines.
Let’s look at the amazing benefits found in hawthorn berries.
Rich in antioxidant properties
The antioxidants found in hawthorn berries can neutralise free radicals and even prevent some of the damage they cause. Free radicals are thought to contribute to the ageing process and the development of a number of health problems, including heart disease.
These antioxidants substances remove free radicals; harmful compounds in the body that alter cell membranes, DNA, and even cause cell death. The antioxidant activity of hawthorn makes it an excellent choice to maintain overall well-being and quality of life.
Helps in chest pain
Hawthorn berry helps to fight chest pain (angina), a health problem caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart. Whoever is experiencing chest pain should consume hawthorn; it improves blood flow to the heart which leads to improvements in heart function. It supports cardiovascular diseases and lowers the chances of heart failure.
Lowers the cholesterol level
Hawthorn berry extract can be powerful in eliminating LDL (“bad cholesterol”) from the blood. The hawthorn berries also reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Treats anxiety
There is some evidence that hawthorn in combination with magnesium may be helpful in treating mild to moderate anxiety disorders.
Caution: Hawthorn is mostly safe and recommended to use for adults. However, for some people, there can be side effects like nausea, stomach pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, palpitations, nosebleeds, insomnia, restlessness and other problems.
