Hawthorn (Crataegus oxycantha)
The hawthorn (crataegus oxyacantha) is a plant widely used for the care of the circulatory system thanks to its strong cardioprotective and antioxidant activity.
The dry extract of leaves and flowers contain a mixture of different flavonoids, powerful antioxidants and “scavengers” of free radicals, useful in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and to fight cholesterol.
These principles give the plant a strong cardioprotective activity, because they induce the dilation of the coronary arteries that bring the blood to the heart, thus improving the flow of blood with consequent reduction of blood pressure.
Another very important active ingredient is vitexin, which acts as a spasmolytic, sedative and natural anxiolytic. This sedative and relaxing action is especially useful in patients who are very nervous, in which it reduces emotions, in states of anxiety, agitation, anguish, and in case of insomnia.
