Hawthorn Tincture (1:4)

Hawthorn Tincture (Crataegus oxyacantha) made from berries

What is Hawthorn Tincture?

The name “hawthorn” refers to around 300 different species, most of which grow in Europe. Crataegus oxyacantha is one of them. The shrub or small tree prefers sunny or semi-shaded locations and thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soils. When conditions are ideal, this member of the rose family can grow up to 10 meters high. Hawthorn is easily recognized by its white blossoms and sharp thorns. From its flowers, bright red berries develop. These so-called pome fruits are yellow inside and contain 2–3 small seeds.

Plant parts used
We use only hawthorn berries for our tincture. They are carefully dried, and their valuable constituents are extracted with pure alcohol. The result is a naturally cloudy tincture that delivers the full spectrum of plant constituents in optimal bioavailability.

Constituents
Flavonoids, oligomeric procyanidins, phenolic acids, triterpenic acids, carotenoids, vitamin C

A long tradition of use

Hawthorn has been used as a natural remedy since the Middle Ages. Back then, it was primarily employed for stomach cramps, diarrhea, gout, and bladder stones. Since the 19th century, Crataegus has been regarded mainly as an effective heart tonic and is still used in European folk medicine for a wide range of heart-related issues. Traditional Chinese Medicine also believes that hawthorn has a unique ability to strengthen the heart. In addition, hawthorn is valued in the East as a tonic for the stomach, liver, intestines, and spleen.
