  • 00:02

    I'm robo-Suzie and today I'll talk to you about Hypertension.

  • 00:05

    Treating High Blood Pressure With Hawthorn.

  • 00:11

    But back to our topic.

  • 00:13

    Hawthorn has, for hundreds of years, been used throughout Northern Europe and parts

  • 00:18

    of Asia as an effective natural hypertension treatment.

  • 00:22

    Yet, in as little as two generations this effective natural remedy was almost forgotten

  • 00:27

    having been replaced by pharmaceutical products.

  • 00:30

    Following several scientific studies, the benefits of hawthorn are being recognized

  • 00:35

    anew.

  • 00:36

    Of the many species of the shrub, crataegus orycantholdes is most commonly used to help

  • 00:41

    lower high blood pressure.

  • 00:44

    Hawthorn is a hedgerow shrub related to the rose and is common across Northern Europe

  • 00:48

    and parts of Asia.

  • 00:49

    Why Treating Hypertension with Hawthorn was Almost Forgotten?

  • 00:54

    There are a number of possible reasons for this including:

  • 00:57

    Traditionally, the leaves, berries and flowers were collected from wild hawthorn shrubs to

  • 01:02

    make the extract used to treat hypertension.

  • 01:05

    These are only available seasonally.

  • 01:07

    The extract was made by the local herbalist and there were inconsistencies in the quality

  • 01:12

    of the end product.

  • 01:14

    Medical training in the twentieth Century leaned heavily toward allopathic medicine,

  • 01:18

    which is now the prevailing norm in Western medicine.

  • 01:21

    It is strongly influenced by modern pharmaceutical products, which have consistent quality.

  • 01:27

    Nineteenth Century medical practitioners were more familiar with natural and herbal treatments,

  • 01:33

    which their modern counterparts often viewed as unscientific and ineffective.

  • 01:38

    In recent years, there has been renewed interest in using herbs and other botanics to compliment

  • 01:43

    Western medicine's arsenal of treatments.

  • 01:46

    Hawthorn extract is one such natural remedy that is coming back into popularity.

  • 01:51

    Some hawthorn plantations have been established and are cultivated under strictly controlled

  • 01:56

    conditions.

  • 01:58

    Making the extract from the berries, flowers and leaves is also done under strictly controlled

  • 02:03

    conditions to ensure a consistent and high quality product.

  • 02:07

    How does Hawthorn Lower Blood Pressure?

  • 02:10

    Hawthorn reduces hypertension by:

  • 02:12

    Dilating blood vessels by blocking an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).

  • 02:18

    This action improves circulation and lowers blood pressure;

  • 02:22

    Hawthorn is also a mild diuretic, which lowers blood volume, and this is another way hawthorn

  • 02:28

    functions as a hypertension treatment.

  • 02:30

    Because of this, you should only use this supplement under medical supervision if you

  • 02:35

    are already taking any form of hypertension medication.

  • 02:39

    If your blood pressure is in the range of 140/90 to 160/100mm Hg, and you are otherwise

  • 02:47

    healthy and free of risk factors, your doctor might suggest that, in addition to improving

  • 02:52

    your diet and taking more exercise, you take a natural treatment such as hawthorn extract

  • 02:58

    before considering prescribing one or more of the standard high blood pressure treatments.

  • 03:03

    Hawthorn extract is now widely available and is sometimes combined with other beneficial

  • 03:08

    herbs and botanics such as ginko biloba, passion flower and cramp bark for broader heart and

  • 03:13

    circulation support.

  • 03:15

    Other Medicinal Uses of Hawthorn.

  • 03:18

    Hawthorn is not only used in the treatment and prevention of hypertension; it has also

  • 03:23

    been found to be useful in treating congestive heart failure, lowering rapid pulse, improving

  • 03:28

    arrhythmias, lowering cholesterol levels, and in the treatment for hardening of the

  • 03:33

    arteries.

  • 03:35

    Hawthorn works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme and also by reducing blood volume.

  • 03:40

    These characteristics and combined with the lack of side effects make hawthorn an excellent

  • 03:45

    natural treatment for reducing hypertension.

  • 03:48

    That's it!
