Best Heart Herbs

Hi,

I’ve recently started taken Hawthorn berry capsules because my heart rate has always been a little high (I see my physician regularly and there is no problem, it just seems to be my nature.) I get about a half-hour of moderate exercise a day plus my usual routine, which I would not describe as sedentary but not exactly athletic either.

My blood pressure is fine.

For anyone taking Hawthorne, how long does it take to start seeing a positive effect? Are there immediate effects?

Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

It can depend…sometimes it will be a few weeks to a few months before you notice very much improvement, sometimes it could be up to 6 months. Usually it takes 6 months to a year to have significant improvement, Hawthorn is more of a long term herb, but it can have amazing benefits.
And you might also notice improved stamina once you’ve been taking it for a while.

Oh, and for more information, check out some books like The Way of Herbs by Michael Tierra, or Family Herbal by Rosemary Gladstar.

Good luck!

P.S. If you can, its better to use Hawthorn as a decoction (which is like a tea, but stronger) rather than capsules because sometimes your body’s digestion won’t break the capsules down appropriately, and then you might not absorb whats inside them as well.
