Hawthorn has a long tradition of usage in Arab and Chinese medicine and since the late 1800’s was introduced into European medicine as a heart tonic, for which it is still extensively used in this system of medicine till today. This usage has been supported by modern research which has confirmed the herb’s heart benefits. It is thus used for problems relating to cardiac circulation, cholesterol as well as blood pressure. Chinese medicine uses the fruit for its digestive effects including heartburn, indigestion and constipation.
