Hawthorn Leaf and Flower

Embrace the gentle, time-honored support of Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) leaf and flower. Revered for centuries in traditional European and Native American herbalism, Hawthorn is affectionately known as the “heart herb” for its properties that are believed to uplift and strengthen both the physical and emotional heart.

Our blend features the delicate blossoms and tender leaves, harvested at their peak to ensure maximum potency of the beneficial flavonoids and compounds. With a mild, slightly floral, and sweet taste, this beautiful blend is perfect for a comforting daily tea ritual that encourages calmness and cardiovascular well-being.

Key Features & Traditional Benefits

• Cardiovascular Support: Traditionally used as a tonic to help support healthy circulation and blood flow, contributing to the overall strength and function of the heart.
• Emotional Calm: Believed to soothe the nervous system, making it a wonderful aid for managing feelings of occasional stress, anxiety, and emotional unrest.
• Antioxidant Rich: Naturally contains beneficial compounds, like flavonoids, known for their antioxidant properties that help protect the body from oxidative stress.
• Promotes Relaxation: Its gentle, calming nature makes it an excellent addition to an evening routine to support tranquil rest and sleep.

Suggested Uses

Enjoy the simple beauty of a Hawthorn infusion:

• Gentle Tea: Steep 1 teaspoon of the dried leaf and flower in 8-10 oz of hot water (just below boiling) for 5-10 minutes. The longer steep time allows the beneficial compounds to fully infuse.
• Daily Tonic: Drink 1-3 cups throughout the day for continuous cardiovascular and nervous system support.
• Blending Partner: Its light, mild flavor makes it an ideal complement to other herbal teas, particularly those focused on relaxation like chamomile or lemon balm.
