| Hawthorn Berry: A Natural Ally for Heart Health |
Hawthorn can feel like a big hug in times of deep need. It is a heart protector, and I think of it as providing nourishment, protection, and a sense of strength to our innate self. The strength is not from a hardness or rigidness, but from a place of boundary where, in fact, there is a greater gentleness sourced from that strength and confidence. According to herbalist Rebecca Altman, hawthorn allows us to fully feel our grief while feeling held at the same time.
Hawthorn is a part of the rose family and offers flowers, leaf, and berry as nourishment. It is safe for long-term use and is a great addition to an overnight infusion (Easley & Horne, 2016). When extracted with water, hawthorn offers the body several supportive actions for emotional self-care.
First, it is nutritive. Nutrition is an important piece to cultivating balanced emotions. Through the berry’s micronutrients, we are able to nourish our nervous system. It also acts as a nervine and is said to calm the heart when overly excited. The berries are moistening and nutrient dense (Easley & Horne, 2016), and the leaves and flowers are calming and nourishing as well. Combining all three parts of this plant (leaf, flower, and berry) can create a lovely physically and emotionally grounding daily tea.
