Crataegus monogyna
Hawthorn berry was historically used for poor digestion of fats, and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine use it to treat digestive sluggishness with accumulation of waste and stagnant energy (known in TCM as "food stagnation"). It is renowned as one of our best cardiac tonics, helping to restore strength and tone to the heart muscle and to regulate heartbeat. It can also be useful for strengthening connective tissue weakened by inflammation. A heart medicine in all senses, it may calm anxious or hyperactive children, and is wonderful for heartache and grief.
**We recommend that people taking heart medications use hawthorn only with the guidance of a qualified practitioner. Because hawthorn may have a similar effect to beta blockers, it may become necessary to adjust the dose of cardiac medication. This may not be a full list of all possible contraindications.**

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
