Hawthorn leaf & flower –

Description

Hawthorn was well known to the early North American settlers, who learned how to use the leaf, flower and fruit of the small tree. In spring, the young leaves were harvested as vegetables and the flowers used to make beverages and tonics. In winter, the berries provided sustenance and nutrition when food was scarce.

Today, hawthorn leaf and flower is used in tea blends and to make infusions and extracts. Use to make tea, alone or in combination with other herbs. Hawthorn leaf and flower may also be tinctured or encapsulated as a dietary supplement.
