Healing tea for your heart.
Hawthorn leaf tea is traditionally used in herbal medicine for heart and circulatory support. Here are its commonly cited benefits:
1. Supports Heart Health
Hawthorn leaves (along with flowers and berries) are known for improving blood flow to the heart, supporting healthy artery function, and maintaining normal blood pressure.
Often used as a mild cardiotonic, helping strengthen heartbeat and improve circulation.
2. Helps Regulate Blood Pressure
Acts as a gentle vasodilator, relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow.
May support both high and low blood pressure by promoting vascular balance.
3. Antioxidant-Rich
Contains flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs), which help protect cells from oxidative stress.
4. Supports Digestion
Mildly stimulates digestion and can reduce bloating or indigestion due to its relaxing effect on smooth muscles.
5. Reduces Stress & Anxiety
Has gentle calming and nervine properties that may help with tension and stress-related symptoms.
6. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Its antioxidant compounds may reduce inflammation and support overall cardiovascular wellness.
