hawthorn berry extract
  - blood, heart & circulation.

A small native European tree, widespread in hedges, along road sides and field boundaries. It has greyish bark, tough, thorny and gnarled branches.

The leaves of the hawthorn bush are dark-green and deeply lobed. Clusters of white flowers appear May to June followed by red berries in the autumn.

Hawthorn is valued for its strengthening and normalising effect on the circulation system. Studies have shown it dilates the blood vessels and outlying parts of the body, thereby greatly improving blood flow. Also that it improves the pumping action, controls both high and low blood pressure and slows down a fast beat.

Studies have shown that both the berries and the flowers are astringent* and useful in the treatment of sore throats.

*astringent - causing contraction of the body tissues, checking blood flow, or restricting secretions of fluids.
