(Medical-NewsWire.com, August 10, 2015 ) Beaverton, Oregon -- For hundreds of years people have been using parts of the hawthorn tree (Crataegus mongyna or Crataegus laevigata) to treat an array of health aliments. The leaves, flowers, and berries all contain properties with medicinal benefits. Diseases of blood vessels and the heart such as chest pain, congestive heart failure, and irregular heart beat have all been managed using this plant. Furthermore, new research is suggesting that hawthorn berries may be particularly beneficial for managing blood pressure and cholesterol, having additional benefits for the cardiovascular system.
Scientists believe that hawthorn berries may improve the volume of blood that is pumped from the heart during contractions. This assists to widen the blood vessels, and makes it easier to transmit nerve signals. For people that suffer from high blood pressure, hawthorn berries have been found to lower blood pressure to healthy levels. Researchers have confirmed that hawthorn berries help to relax the blood vessels away from the heart in response to a compound called proanthocyanidin. The hypotensive potential of hawthorn extracts investigated by a team of UK scientists lead by Professor Ann Walker delivered interested findings. Not only did hawthorn help to lower blood pressure, it also reduced patient anxiety.
In a statement issued by Professor Walker she explained that: "The blood pressure lowering effect in this study was real, and worked in addition to the drugs being taken by patients." Furthermore, Walker confirmed that there are no adverse side effects from taking hawthorn extracts: "There has been a great deal of confusing publicity about herbal remedies affecting the efficacy of prescribed drugs, but we were able to confirm there were no side effects or adverse reactions. As hypertension is such a huge problem in Western societies, any safe, natural approach, which can be used with or without modern drugs, is worth exploring. It is possible to have modern and herbal medicines working in harmony."
This research has been a catalyst for an increasing interest in supplements containing hawthorn berries. The ability to help lower blood pressure naturally and without interfering with other medication is a bonus for patients suffering from hypertension. With many drugs prescribed to treat high blood pressure presenting unwanted side effects, perhaps with more research hawthorn extracts may eventually replace these medications as a natural treatment. In the meantime, people concerned about their blood pressure and general cardiovascular health may consider supplements containing hawthorn berries to help support better overall health and vitality.
