Hawthorn berry tea (Crataegus monogyna) is one of the most valued herbs in traditional Western herbalism for cardiovascular support. These certified organic dried hawthorn berries produce a mildly sweet, slightly tart infusion and have been traditionally used for centuries to support healthy heart function and circulation. Hawthorn berry benefits are well documented in herbal pharmacopoeias, making this a cornerstone herb for anyone interested in heart-healthy herbal teas.
Key Benefits
- Cardiovascular support: Traditionally used to help maintain healthy heart function and support normal blood pressure already within the normal range. One of the most widely used hawthorn berry benefits.
- Circulation: Traditionally used to support healthy peripheral circulation. Hawthorn tea has been a staple of traditional herbalism for this purpose.
- Rich in antioxidants: Hawthorn berries contain oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), flavonoids, and vitamin C, contributing to their traditional value.
- Certified organic: Whole dried hawthorn berries grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.
- Versatile use: Enjoy as a hawthorn tea, add to herbal blends, or use in homemade syrups, jams, and tinctures.
Hawthorn berry tea: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried hawthorn berries to a cup of boiling water. Lightly crush the berries first for a stronger infusion. Cover and steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and drink 1 to 3 cups daily.
Blending: For a heart-healthy herbal blend, combine with Hibiscus, which adds a vibrant colour and tart flavour. Also pairs well with Rose Hip for added vitamin C, or Lemon Balm for a calming touch.
The genus name Crataegus comes from the Greek "kratos," meaning strength, a reference to the extremely hard wood of the hawthorn tree. In folklore, hawthorn was considered a tree of protection and was often planted near homes.
Hawthorn berries are non-toxic to dogs and cats. In fact, they are a natural food source for many birds and wildlife throughout autumn and winter.
