Crataegus Oxy is a herbal medicine and cardiac tonic to promote healthy heart function. It assists weakened heart performance due to heart failure and poor blood supply to the heart muscle (congestive and ischemic heart disease). With broad acting cardiac supportive action (in heart failure, heaviness on the chest (cardiac oppression), mild heart related chest pain (angina), irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), and heart weakness in the elderly) it assists to improve exercise tolerance, quality of life, and breathlessness and fatigue in heart patients.
Crataegus helps improve the flow of blood to the heart and helps the heart push blood more effectively out of the heart and into the arteries.
Historically crataegus (hawthorn) berries were used in healthcare as far back as the 15th century and were well known as a heart care tonic. In North America, their role as a treatment for heart problems dates back to 1800. Today crataegus is garnering attention for its potential cardiovascular enhancing and protective properties.
Crataegus berries are edible and during World War I, hawthorn seeds were ground and used instead of coffee. In addition, hawthorn leaves were used instead of tea and tobacco.
Alfred Vogel relished eating Crataegus berries as a child yet it was only later as an adult that he learned of their true health benefits as a tincture made from the pulp of the berries.
