Hawthorn Tincture: Heart & Cardiovascular

Hawthorn is said to "speak to the human heart."

In this blend, Hawthorn flowers, leaves and berries are gathered by hand, then fresh-infused for 4 - 8 weeks. 

Having the three plant parts concentrated together, while fresh, makes this extract particularly effective and vibrant:

It deeply support the cardiovascular system, healthy circulation and venous integrity. It also supports cognitive and healthy heart muscle function.

A large hedgerow of long-lived Hawthorne trees surrounds the sanctuary garden on Deb's Biodynamic farm in Maine. These regeneratively nurtured trees offer us the courage to stand upright and live with a warm, steady, and open heart.

In June, they hand harvest the white flowers, beloved by honey bees, and fresh-tincture them immediately in organic alcohol. In October, with the help of long pruning poles, they collect baskets full of red Hawthorn berries, which are also fresh-tinctured immediately in organic alcohol.

As an herb, Hawthorn is food-like in nature and rich in flavonoids, similar to blueberries. It can be included daily for someone seeking long- or short-term cardiovascular support.

Hawthorn Plus helps comfort us when we feel vulnerable, tender hearted or grief-stricken.

It's energy encourages us to care thoughtfully for ourselves, our relationship with others and the greater landscape of life.

It helps to calm and settle the emotional heart, lessen grief and irritation, and eases us into deeper rest and restoration as needed.

When to reach for it: Consider daily use for a period of time to support the heart (physical and emotional), nervous system, and mood.

This herb is considered a wonderful long-term tonic for those who may have family members desiring to support their heart health and maintain blood pressure already within a healthy range.

It's a good ally for travel, weddings, funerals, and other rites of passage.

Hawthorn Plus Is Part Of Our Avena Tincture Collection

The Avena Tinctures are perhaps the purest & healthiest tinctures American soil has to offer.

They're based on botanicals regeneratively grown & wild-harvested on Maine's first certified Biodynamic farm.

From seed to harvest to infusion to vial, everything is done by hand.

In the Spring, our farmer-partner plants her seeds following biodynamic, regenerative and mixed polyculture principles (which go way beyond "organic"). 

She keeps the plants tightly spaced, applying minimal (organic) fertilizer and irrigation. This makes it harder and slower for the plants to grow. And that's the point. They become more potent, which you nose & skin will verify as soon as you open your jar, inhale the glory, and apply.

The humming birds, butterflies and bees love all the flora as well.

Throughout the growing season, she hand-harvests only the best parts of the plants and only at peak potency. Then she immediately infuses them for 4 - 8 weeks at low temperatures to preserve their botanical benefits. 

Finally, they're blended and packed on-site, ready to deliver the purest, most potent nutrient boosts American soil can offer.

This is what whole-plant blends were meant to be. It doesn't take long to feel the difference. 

Enjoy!
