Hawthorn Berry - Australian Grown
- In stock, ready to ship
These Australian-grown hawthorn berries (Crataegus monogyna) are traditionally used in herbal medicine to support healthy heart function and circulation. Hawthorn berry is one of the most valued cardiovascular herbs in traditional Western herbalism, and this Australian-grown harvest offers a locally sourced alternative. The dried hawthorn fruit produces a mildly sweet, slightly tart infusion, and hawthorn berry benefits are well documented in herbal pharmacopoeias worldwide.
Key Benefits
- Cardiovascular support: Traditionally used to help maintain healthy heart function and support normal blood pressure already within the normal range. A key hawthorn berry benefit.
- Circulation: Traditionally used to support healthy peripheral circulation. The hawthorn herb has been valued for this purpose across many herbal traditions.
- Rich in antioxidants: Hawthorn berries contain oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), flavonoids, and vitamin C.
- Australian grown: Locally harvested hawthorn berries, supporting shorter supply chains and fresher dried fruit.
- Versatile use: Enjoy as a hawthorn berry tea, add to herbal blends, or use in homemade syrups, jams, and tinctures.
Hawthorn berry tea: Lightly crush 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried hawthorn berries. Add to a cup of boiling water, cover, and steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and drink 1 to 3 cups daily. Crushing the berries first helps release the beneficial compounds.
Blending: Combine with Hibiscus for a vibrant, tart cardiovascular blend. Also pairs well with Rose Hip for added vitamin C, or Lemon Balm for a calming touch.
Crataegus monogyna was introduced to Australia in the 1800s and has naturalised in cooler, wetter regions. While considered invasive in some areas, sustainably harvesting the berries makes productive use of existing trees.
Hawthorn berries are non-toxic to dogs and cats. They are also a natural food source for many Australian bird species throughout autumn and winter.
