<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">Hawthorn is a hairless, thorny, deciduous shrub commonly found in Europe, western Asia, North America, and North Africa. It grows as high as 30 feet and adapts to a wide range of growing conditions. Its multi-lobed leaves bear white or pink, dense clusters of fragrant flowers followed by fruits in September that resemble cherries. The fruit can be eaten fresh or dried, used in cooking, made into jam, or brewed into wine.

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use Hawthorn without first talking to your healthcare provider:

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">**Digoxin** Hawthorn may enhance the activity of digoxin, a medication used for irregular heart rhythms.

However, this interaction has not been studied in people. Therefore, the relevance of this interaction to people is unknown at this time. || <span style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: medium; color: black; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.17em; padding-top: 0.5em;">** Plant Stem Cell Therapy: ** <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">//Polycrest all!

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">Do not use with Horsetail – Equisetum Arvense (young shoots). Also do not use Hawthorn in people afflicted with an acute gout condition since it contains many amides which will increase the toll of uric acid in the kidneys.

Detoxifies the heart & reinforces the contractility of the heart. Sedative of the central nervous system. Positive inotropic action. The actions are predominantly at the repolarization phase of the ECG and the correction of the S-T space. Potentiates the action of Digitalis. Exercise caution in the amount used of this bud in combination with Digitalis. Even a small amount will reduce the amount needed of Digitalis. With careful monitoring, after a short time, it will be possible to replace digitalis altogether with Hawthorn – Crataegus Oxycantha. **Warning**: Must discontinue 3 days prior to an ECG test since it will make the ECG appear normal although there may be a problem masked by this bud’s effect.
