Hawthorn, a hardy shrub with small red berries that is native to Europe, can today be found in gardens and along roadways in both Europe and
the United States. During the 18th and 19th centuries, people discovered that the leaves of this common woodland shrub contained components that could enhance cardiac health.
To function at its optimum level, the heart requires large amounts of oxygen. The demand for oxygen is so great that the heart actually has its own separate circulatory system to
transport oxygenated blood exclusively to cardiac tissue through the coronary arteries.
Studies show that hawthorn can strengthen and stabilize the
heart muscle, promoting regular heart rhythms. Hawthorn also creates a positive isotropic effect on the heart muscle – increasing the force of the heart's contractions. Additionally,
studies show that hawthorn supports healthy blood pressure by facilitating the opening of the coronary arteries. Hawthorn's flavonoid constituents are thought to inhibit the oxidation of
cholesterol, which keeps the arterial walls clear and open.
