According to traditional medicine, Crataegus has been thoroughly researched. Its primary medicinal effects are attributed to the bioflavonoids it contains. These compounds help relax and dilate the arteries, particularly the coronary artery, thereby improving blood flow to the heart muscles and reducing symptoms of angina. Bioflavonoids are also potent antioxidants, which assist in preventing or reducing the degeneration of blood vessels.
Cardiotonic herb:
A significant number of studies have confirmed the value of Crataegus in the treatment of chronic heart failure. Notably, a study conducted in Germany in 1994 showed that Crataegus improves heart rate and lowers blood pressure.
Crataegus has been used traditionally in Europe for treating kidney and bladder stones, as well as for its diuretic properties. The herbal texts of the 16th and 18th centuries, including those by Gerard, Culpeper, and K’Eogh, all reference these applications. The modern use of Crataegus for circulatory and heart conditions originated with an Irish physician in the late 19th century, who began successfully using it in his patients for these ailments.
Crataegus is a potent cardiotonic that helps regulate both low and high blood pressure, as well as tachycardia and arrhythmia. It is also antispasmodic and soothing, making it highly effective in addressing insomnia caused by nervous tension, as it calms the nervous system and alleviates symptoms of angina.
Additionally, Crataegus helps protect against arteriosclerosis and has a beneficial effect on the blood vessels. It is also recognized as an antipyretic herb, particularly effective in treating the three-day fever.
Warnings
It is important to note that Crataegus may interact with various medications used for cardiovascular conditions, and therefore, caution is required. Consultation with your healthcare provider is essential. For example, Crataegus may lower blood pressure, and when taken alongside antihypertensive medication, there is a risk of blood pressure dropping too low.
It has also been observed that Crataegus can increase blood flow. When combined with medications that have similar effects, the likelihood of dizziness may be increased.
