Background and Use
Hawthorn has been used for millennia as both a food and a medicine. The current use of Hawthorn for heart support dates back to the 17th century. An Irish doctor, is known to have secretly used it for the heart. After his death in 1894, his daughter revealed the famous cure to be a tincture of the ripe berries. Hawthorn had a brief period of use in the American clinical practice between the turn of the century and the 1930's. The berries are the traditional part of the Hawthorn that is used medicinally.
