Crataegus: Nature’s Heart Tonic

Crataegus (hawthorn berries) is a gentle yet powerful organ remedy that has been used to strengthen and regulate the cardiovascular system, especially in the elderly.

Clinically, Crataegus has a wide sphere of action: it can help with irregular heart rhythms, palpitations, angina, myocarditis, arteriosclerosis, high or low blood pressure, headaches related to poor circulation, and general cardiac weakness. One of its great strengths is supporting the heart when there is shortness of breath on exertion.

Unlike more acute remedies that act on sudden episodes (such as Aconite), Crataegus works more restoratively, helping to nourish the heart over time. This makes it a valuable ally for those needing long-term support, whether in recovery from illness, in the face of age-related changes, or alongside conventional care.
