Hawthorn berry tea benefits
Hawthorn berry tea (Crataegus species) is traditionally used for heart and circulation support. Potential benefits include:
Heart support: May support normal heart function and cardiovascular health.
Circulation: May help support healthy blood flow.
Blood pressure: Some evidence suggests hawthorn preparations may modestly support blood pressure, although tea is less studied than standardized extracts.
Cholesterol: May have modest effects on blood lipids, but it should not replace cholesterol treatment.
Antioxidant support: Contains flavonoids and other antioxidant compounds that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
Digestive comfort: Traditionally used to support digestion, although evidence is limited.
