Product Details

ounce, whole Berry.100% Certified USDA Organic & Kosher.
Hawthorn berry (Crataegus
oxycanthus), a tiny tart fruit from the Crataegus shrub, boasts a rich history
that stretches back centuries. Early European cultures enjoyed its resilience,
with its thorns symbolizing strength and protection. Traditional Chinese
medicine incorporated hawthorn into treatments for high blood pressure, while
Native American communities used it for a variety of things.
Medicinally, hawthorn has gained contemporary attention for its
potential heart benefits. Research suggests it may improve blood flow and
strengthen heart muscle contractions. Studies are ongoing, but some evidence
shows promise for managing mild heart failure. However, it's important to
consult with a medical professional before using hawthorn, especially if taking
heart medications, as it may interact with them.
Hawthorn's presence extends beyond the physical realm. In
magical traditions, it's associated with love, protection, and purification.
The bright red berries are seen as symbolic of the heart and its emotions,
while the thorns act as guardians against negativity. Hawthorn is sometimes
incorporated into rituals for love spells or used as a protective charm.
