Hawthorn strong in heart and vessels
Meidoorn Crataegus Oxyacantha
Deze schone schitterende struik straalt in mei zodra de heilzame bloesems tevoorschijn komen.
De sterke geur trekt de nodige insecten aan die zich te goed doen aan de nectar die de
meidoorn te bieden heeft. In this blog we will take a look at the nutrients together and
the applicability of the leaf, berry and blossom. This can be a whopping
age of 500 years and is very strong and is much at forest edges
to find. She loves the sun very much and sometimes becomes 4 to 10 meters
high. From shrub to tree. She grows but slowly
and the wood is of high quality.

healing power of hawthorn.
Hawthorn works heart support and works well on the circulatory system. Strengthens the heart muscle. Due to the ingredients, it also has a beneficial effect on the nerves and on the night's sleep. Keeps blood pressure on arrow next to balanced nutrition. Hawthorn also promotes your oxygen supply of blood. The flowers are in bloom at the end of April early May and the berries can be harvested in August and September.
Tincture hawthorn:
For a powerful tincture, you can put the young leaf with the blossoms in a pot (3/4 blossom) and pour it over with young gin or a cognac. After that, put in a dark place for 6 weeks after which you strain the blossom out. By this time, the hawthorn releases its fruits and you can put the berries in its entirety with that tincture and put back for 6 weeks in a dark place. Then strain the berries out again and have a strong tincture that you can consume one to 3 times a day (2ml tincture with some water.). Fortunately, this is safe without working. If in doubt, always consult a doctor of course. I'm talking from my own experience.
