HAWTHORN—BLESS YOUR HEART! Hawthorn has been used for centuries as a heart medicine and tonic in Western herbalism. In fact, it’s a splendid example of traditional wisdom that has been amply confirmed by modern science. Clinical trials show that hawthorn provides significant benefits in the treatment of chronic heart failure. Pharmacological research, moreover, confirms its heart muscle strengthening properties, improved rhythm control, reversal of atherosclerosis, enhanced coronary blood flow, and blood pressure-lowering effects. Health Canada has granted its formal approval to St. Francis Herb Farm’s product, “Hawthorn” (NPN 80023933). While there is much research yet to be done on the therapeutic qualities of this outstanding herb, for the present Health Canada has officially endorsed the following use:
