Hawthorn Leaf & Flower Cut & Sifted, Wild Crafted (Crataegus laevigata)

Hawthorn leaf and flower have a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly as a cardiovascular tonic. Early North American settlers learned to use the leaves, flowers, and fruit of this small flowering tree for both food and wellness. In spring, young leaves were harvested as vegetables, while the flowers were commonly prepared as beverages and tonics.

Crataegus laevigata, also known as English hawthorn, is native to Europe and is one of the most well-studied species in the hawthorn genus. This species is widely cultivated as a hedge or ornamental plant and is notable for being the source of leaf and flower preparations approved in Europe by the German E Commission for traditional heart-related uses.

Today, hawthorn leaf and flower are most commonly enjoyed as teas, infusions, and liquid extracts, valued for their gentle, nourishing nature and long-term tonic qualities.
