Hawthorn Berries | 山楂片

Hawthorn (Fructus Crataegi) is a thorny shrub in the rose family which grows throughout the world. Hawthorn berries have been used to treat heart problems. Hawthorn berries – along with the leaves and flowers – are a good source of heart-protective antioxidants like oligomeric procyandins and quercetin, which may explain why hawthorn berry tea has such an affinity for heart health.
