Hawthorn - contraindications for use

One of the most common plants in folk medicine is hawthorn, contraindications to the use of which are practically not identified. Healing properties that help to overcome a large number of ailments are found in almost all species of this shrub, but they are especially pronounced in a single-bodied and smooth hawthorn.

When and how to harvest hawthorn

The optimal time of year for the collection of hawthorn is the period lasting from May to July. It is at this time that the shrubbery blooms. After collecting the foliage and the flowers should be dried. Dried parts should be stored in tightly closed containers, as hawthorn medicinal properties lose when exposed to oxygen. Also as a medicine, berries of hawthorn are used, which must be collected only after they acquire a dark-brown color.

Hawthorn: application

The fruits of this shrub, endowed with a huge amount of medicinal products, have a beneficial effect on the body with heart disease. It's not for nothing that the hawthorn was called "bread for the heart". Indeed, in the presence of diseases associated with the cardiovascular system, a hawthorn is prescribed. The drug not only improves the tone of the heart muscles, but also increases blood flow, and also prevents the appearance of sclerotic changes in the coronary vessels and heart arteries. Hawthorn tincture, taken for prophylaxis, can prevent the occurrence of very serious diseases associated with the cardiovascular system in older people.

If you, getting up the stairs, feel tired and gasping, you should think about starting to take the tincture from the hawthorn. This drug of folk medicine helps people suffering from dyspnea.

Hawthorn will help people who complain about problems associated with the gastrointestinal tract. Thanks to the organic acids that make up the berries, the decay of putrefactive processes occurring in the large intestine is carried out. Organic acids stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, which is necessary for digestion. Pectins, when combined with water, dissolve in the intestines toxins, slags, and also remove pathogenic microorganisms.

Hawthorn - contraindications for use

Many people think that hawthorn is a plant that does not have contraindications to use and side effects. At the same time, the following sentence leads to the proof: "The more and more often you use the tincture, the harmless the hawthorn becomes to the organism". Contraindications, in fact, exist. First, to use drugs based on this plant is contraindicated for people whose work requires a lot of attention, for example, truckers. This is due to the fact that abuse of the drug leads to the appearance of drowsiness and weakness.

If you are in an interesting position or breastfeed your baby, then pay special attention to the dose of tincture, the main component of which is the hawthorn. Contraindications in this case should be discussed with your doctor. If you or your child have an individual drug intolerance, the doctor will prescribe another medicine of plant origin.

Remember, despite the seeming harmlessness of hawthorn at first sight, do not abuse this drug. Follow the instructions that your doctor will write, and, of course, do not self-medicate and do not increase the dosage. Only in this case hawthorn will have a positive effect on the body, saving you from a huge number of ailments.
