Naturlider Hawthorn is known as a tonic for the heart, as it helps to relax the heart muscle, which helps to prevent and relieve tachycardia. It also has diuretic properties that help to lower blood pressure.
Hawthorn from Naturlider is a medicinal plant that has been dried in a traditional way to preserve all its properties. It helps to alleviate tachycardia and arrhythmia, as well as heart failure, thanks to its vasodilator, cardiotonic and sedative properties.
It also has fatty acids, fibre and phytosterols that control high cholesterol levels to improve blood return. Similarly, its caffeic and chlorogenic acid content, as well as chromium, help regulate blood sugar to avoid insulin problems. These acids, together with potassium, are responsible for increasing diuresis in order to alleviate fluid retention. Hence, it reduces the pressure that excess fluids cause on the circulatory system and which causes an increase in blood pressure.
It is also rich in minerals such as magnesium, which helps to relax the nervous system, since stress and anxiety are a trigger for cardiac arrhythmias. On the other hand, it favours the quality of sleep and helps to calm hot flushes, irritability and sweating that appear during the menopause. This, while its antioxidants strengthen every cell in the body and fight the free radicals that accelerate ageing.
Farmaciasdirect recommends the use of this medicinal plant for people with tachycardia and blood pressure problems related to nervous disorders, high cholesterol and fluid retention.
