Hawthorn is a common Chinese medicinal herb and fruit, widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Hawthorn is best known for its digestive benefits, particularly for meat and greasy foods. It contains a variety of organic acids (such as citric acid and malic acid) and lipase, which promote gastric secretion, enhance digestion, and relieve symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and loss of appetite.
Hawthorn also has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. Its active ingredients, such as flavonoids and triterpenoid acids, can dilate blood vessels, increase coronary blood flow, and lower blood pressure and blood lipids, particularly cholesterol.
