Hawthorn Flowers and Leaves
Hawthorn properties
Hawthorn has always been known as the heart plant. The leaves and flowers contain a mixture of different flavonoids, powerful antioxidants and "scavengers" of free radicals, useful in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and to fight cholesterol.
These active ingredients confer a marked cardioprotective activity, because they induce the dilation of the coronary arteries that bring blood to the heart, thus improving the blood supply with consequent reduction of blood pressure. Its use is therefore indicated in cases of hypertension, mild or moderate, especially if of nervous origin.
It has cardiotonic properties due to the presence of proanthocyanidols, which act on the one hand on strengthening the contractile force of the heart; and on the other hand on alterations in heart function. These components reduce tachycardia, extrasystole and arrhythmias and prevent complications in elderly patients, at risk of angina pectoris or heart attack, suffering from flu or pneumonia.
Vitexin, the active ingredient present in hawthorn, acts as a spasmolytic, sedative and natural anxiolytic. This sedative and relaxing action is especially useful in very nervous patients, in whom it reduces emotions, in states of anxiety, agitation, anguish, and in case of insomnia.
