Hawthorn For The Heart
'In Europe, thousands of doctors prescribe hawthorn to prevent cardiovascular disease or to help alleviate symptoms of mild to moderate problems.
It is considered so safe that it is sometimes prescribed concurrently with heart medications such as digitalis. Hawthorn is also considered a mildly calming herb for the nervous system--an appropriate bonus considering that stress and nervousness often accompany cardiovascular problems.
In my own experience, it is the first herb, besides garlic, that should be added to one's daily dietary regimen when there is any suspicion of problems of cardiovascular disease.
If one has a family member who has heart or vascular problems, or for people eating a diet that includes moderate to high levels of fat (especially from dairy products or red meat), or who are stressed or using stimulants (such as coffee), hawthorn is an excellent protector.'
