Hawthorn is a small, thorny shrub, once used by landowners to protect their property. In traditional Chinese medicine, this sweet, sour, and warming berry is used to support the heart and nervous system. In Western botanical medicine, hawthorn berries can be consumed as a solid extract to treat various cardiovascular conditions.
Hawthorn saplings target both the cardiovascular and nervous systems; they calm tension and anxiety while correcting minor heart rhythm disturbances, palpitations, and false angina.
On a spiritual and mental-emotional level, young hawthorn shoots protect us from the outside world to develop strength and love.
