Hawthorn Leaf (Crataegus Monogyna)
The heart tonic leaf — gentle, daily cardiovascular and circulatory support from the same celebrated hawthorn tree.
Hawthorn leaf (Crataegus monogyna) shares the same powerful flavonoids and OPCs as the berry, making it an equally valuable cardiovascular tonic — often preferred for daily maintenance use due to its lighter flavour and easier infusion. It works synergistically with the berry and flower, supporting heart muscle function, arterial flexibility, and blood pressure regulation as part of a consistent herbal wellness routine.
