My husband has afib & slow heart rate for which he had a pacemaker. 10:years later, the pacemaker battery is about dead & he stopped long ago looking for remedies for his afib! Until we found Hawthorn berry! 1 tablet of 550 mg each day, he has zero afibs!! Regular dosing also controls the slow heart rate! I just wish we had known about this herb 10 years ago!
Thank you! I thought I knew hawthorn pretty well but I learned a lot! I recently started noticing a lot of ankle edema at the end of the day and took a couple dropper-fulls of hawthorn flower+leaf tincture a couple times a day and it resolved after only a week!
Can't wait until my hawthorn tree is big enough to flower. It is so pretty AND useful.
I've planted a couple hawthorns that I am also waiting on to grow up. That hard wood makes them slow growers!
Lovely plant, we in Wales uk, use to call this plant bread and cheese, and when out play would pick and eat it as we went along ❤️🍀☘️
Thanks for sharing!
@@HerbsWithRosalee how do you plant seeds and sacred plant .are they a good place to get the seeds from? And what do the seeds real look like? Please and thank you
Quiero comprar semilla o la planta de espino blanco. Por favor
i can smell them while looking and you talking. thank uou !
Back when i was a kid my mother used to make jam from the fruit. It kinda resembled apple jam. Sometimes she would make a jelly roll and spread the jam and roll the thin layer cake. It was delicious. They grew wild here in Saskatchewan.
This is another beautiful video. I wish someone could send these to a contest so Rosalee could win an award. ❤️xo
Yesssssss!
Lovely episode!!
I love your Love Note sweater! (And thanks for the info about hawthorn 😊)
I love your book & videos. 🌿💚
Love this video!!! cannot wait to start the tea for my health.
Thank you!
I absolutely love your videos!! So detailed and thorough! As a newbie to herbs and plants and remedies, etc, I truly appreciate all of your very informative information, easy to understand method. I can actually do this!!
Beautifully made video.
Thank you so much !!
Thank you 😊
Thank you! So helpful.
thank you
Namaste
I love Hawthorn ❤️🌸
A few hours ago I was wanting to learn more about Hawthorne and this shows up😊
Sweet! I love synchronicities with herbs!
Hello. Appreciate you and your sharing of knowledge.
This was an absolutely fantastic video. Thank you for all the in-depth and wonderful information on Hawthorne. And thank you so much for taking my request and doing Hawthorne so quickly. I personally have been dealing with afib since covid and have found Hawthorne to be very beneficial. But I have only been using the berries so far. I am now going to add flowers and leaves as they become available to me. I too live in the Northern Hemisphere very close to you and I'm so grateful for your information I feel that it is so pertinent and especially helpful! As I'm sure everyone else here feels, I wish that you were in my back pocket lol! Thank you Rosalee!!❤
Also have you ever thought of doing personal consultations for people?
Glad I could hawthorn up so quick for you Heather! I had a clinical practice for several years but have turned to teaching full time now. If you'd like a list of my trusted referrals then write to me privately (through my website is great) and I can get you those.
@@HerbsWithRosalee thank you! I will contact you. Funny that all these years I have followed you through John Gallagher and never knew that you had a practice. Your education is priceless!
😅@@heatherrodriguez3274
Thank you Rosalee for the great video......I live in the Highlands of NSW Australia and to my delight there are Hawthorns galore.Look forward to spring to collect flowers and leaves 😀......very much enjoy your videos❤️
Good to know that they grow there! Enjoy!
Great video, your enthusiasm and love for what you do comes through. I'm off to get some leaves and flowers if still out and make a tea for myself this afternoon! :-)
Great information
What a refreshing way to share valuable information , you are a breath of fresh air thank you. 🙏
Hawthorn sound like just what the Dr ordered! THANK YOU!
Love your sweater. Hawthorn is one of my favorites.
I was just wondering if she's also a knitter! It's not the first video where she's wearing a beautiful sweater that looks like it might be hand made by someone skillful!
Such a lovely plant thanks for your fantastic informative videos
Love this, Hawthorne is one of my fav herbs, and use daily 😍😍
love this herb ive been drinking tea from it since i was a child now i saw they have the flower on serenity herbal
What a great video. I appreciate the thoroughness of your research. When people ask me where to get started on herbs, I usually point them to Alchemy of Herbs because it's so well done, accessible and such an attractive book. A friend's daughter wanted to get into foraging so I set her up with a copy of your newest book and she was SO excited. Thanks for being such a great resource. We have three large cockspur hawthorns that my husband raised from seedlings 20+ years ago. They have 3" thorns so it is definitely an exercise in full presence when working with them but they are LOADED with blossoms this year.
I love your videos! There is something so pleasant about your voice. They’re also super informative. Thank you for recommending a reputable place to purchase herbs. Can you please do a video on how to heal endothelial cells. I have varicose veins in my hands and feet from covid. Pretty please with sugar on top. 🙏🏻
You're a queen, great video it's that time of year again i picked a white flower today and didn't realise the cherry almond scent to it i need this in my life more. Spring is here. Thanks
Thank you for the wonderful video on Hawthorn. I have taken Hawthorn in tinctures and syrups.
Thank u so much 🌸Beautiful, and I’m going to visit a nearby tree, grateful I don’t have to wait for the berries to start healing ❤️🩹
I love it! I chew fresh tender howthorn leaves, they give me a nice balloon rubber flavour and a slow burning strength and happy feeling.
I always love it to listen to your lectures about herbs.
Glad you like them!
I enjoy your videos. So much information. You are just adorable!
Glad you like them!
I've got a batch of Hawthorn, Rose Hip and Cinnamon tea cooling right now!!
What a great combination, that sounds delicious as well as a powerhouse of herbal goodies!
Thank you. I was diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy, and I know that hawthorne berries are excellent for heart health, even heart health recovery and reversal of heart disease. But I did want you to boil the berries and show us how to make the tea. I was told that when the berries are red, we can take a few and boil them a few minutes for our tea. Other than that I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Yvette, did you ever find out how to make tea from the berrries? I'm looking for a recipe online but there doesn't seem to be much info about
@@midgeycrimbles6730 honeystead has a video on this where she makes a tea, it’s great
@@midgeycrimbles6730 czcams.com/video/5dkS00cHQxY/video.htmlsi=pd1p9puSoEskB2pu
Thank you ⭐️ I just made a green juice from hawthorn leaves & fruit 💚 was great
Wonderful!
Thank you for that very interesting plant. My wife is part Irish. I found Hawthorne through a question for Ai. "What tea strengths the blood vessels? It also said it good for the heart. So that answer triggered my search. I found berries, leaves and flowers. So next I was on you tube. What are the benefits and preparations for Hawthorne tea?
You were the first Video in the list. Clicked you.
Im 73. I love teas especially bulk loose leaf that have good health benefits. Its amazing what teas can help with in our bodies. Thanks for the great insight of your knowledge.
Hi Rosalee. Only recently found you, and SO happy I did!! I only found this video after the flowers had gone. I would like to know if drying and using JUST the leaves will be worth doing, or now waiting for the berries? My issue is that my heart rate "easily" raises. There are other things in play, and I am herbal teaing it up big time - I have dandelion leaves, nettle leaves, plantain leaves, and did one early batch of dandelion root as well. I use great mullein, and burdock root, and I also just did two batches of the lilac flowers! All that aside, hope to get your view on just using the hawthorn tree leaves for now! PS - we never even knew we had some of those on our ten acres!! We sure know a LOT more about the absolute treasure, our ten acres with three acres of old growth bush on it DOES have!!! Thank you in advance for your insight!! PS - we live in north central Alberta, Canada.
And I see that you knit too(Love Note)!
Hi Rose. question , is the powder effective as the flowers stem, and leaves?
Thank you so much for such an in depth look at every aspect of Hawthorn, it’s benefits and exactly how to make the Hawthorn tea. I love how you told about the fifteen different species and how the properties were found to be the same in each one. All of the information you gave was interesting, to the point and invaluable. I’ll be looking for your book. 💕⭐️ P.s, can I ask where you are from?
So glad you enjoyed this! Thank you for the kind words! I live in Washington state.
Rosalee who knit your Love Notes sweater? I love it. Have made 5 myself. That’s a beautiful colour on you.
You've made 5! So have I! I thought I was the only one to make these over and over. :) I want one in every color. This was my second one and one of my favorites.
Great video with great information. I've used Hawthorn for heart palpitations/arhythmia as well as a general heart tonic and have gotten great results. Magnesium has also helped with these heart issues. I love that a simple tea makes the best medicine. Thanks for sharing the recipe. However, I was not able to download it. No download icon or link. Not sure if its my laptop or a glitch on your end. I'll definitely add the recipe to my formulary journal.
Sorry you were having issues with the download! Please contact me through my website and I'll make sure you get a copy!
Am having hear palpitations and I just can't get Hawthorn because the Herbal stores are closed
Can you make salve with hawthorn flower and leaves?
Wow thank you for this excellent in depth video! You’ve covered all essential bases in a short clip 💚. It’s really amazing to have such a reliable source.
One idea that might suit better the platform, I was thinking that maybe the music the whole time was a bit too much? It might help our minds to breathe a bit more and the precious info given out would shine better without it all the time. Thanks !
Thanks Ana, glad you're enjoying it! I've been going back and forth on the continuous music so thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I barely noticed the music, but my body appreciated it! 😊 Contrast!
@@HerbsWithRosalee I vote for very little music..this video was fine. As a person with CIFIDs, low blood sugar, insomnia, sensitive to sound n light, and much more, my brain gets overwhelmed with a person talking over music. This video was fine. Thanks for considering the thousands with CIFIDs.
Any thing for hypotension is the safe to take for low blood pressure
You look very good in that beautiful sweater! Did you knit it yourself?
Yes! Thank you!
Rosalee, you are gem! Last year I took your Tasting Herbs class and it saved my wild roses that are on my property, (I had no idea what they were and was going to get rid of them!). Now I am wondering the same about a tree that has giant thorns, white berries, and dark black/blue berries in the fall. Could it be hawthorn? Is there a sure way to tell it is hawthorn? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Check the resources underneath the video (click "see more") for more information. The detailed drawings and pictures will help!
@@HerbsWithRosalee Thank you. After digging I think I might have a Crataegus douglasii. I live on the Olympic Peninsula and these are found here. Dark berries, big thorns, and serrated leaves. I might still check with a local nursery to be sure. I would love to harvest from it this fall.
Would you mind linking the Jan 2020 study please?
Hi, head to the transcript/written version and you'll find all citations. ~Karin Rose
I wonder why hawthorn gave me chest pains and anxiety. I notice that some plants really have a massive energetic clearing for me… once I’ve Listened to what I feel the plant is Trying to teach me …… I have no negative affects anymore… this happened with violet leaf as well as stinging nettle. I hope the same happens with hawthorn. 🕊
I wonder if grinded/powdered Hawthorn Leaf & Flower would make a good herbal honey as well?
I am sure it could! I might add some aromatic herbs like tulsi too.
Thank you for your content. Where do you recommend to purchase hawthorn to grow? And, can you please share the link to the hawthorn study? Many thanks in advance.
Hi - a local nursery is best for getting an appropriate hawthorn suited to your climate, but you can also check with Strictly Medicinal Seeds. Which study are you asking about? There were several mentioned in this podcast and the first one had the link on the slide (pause the video and you can see it).
~Karin Rose
@@HerbsWithRosalee Thanks, Karin!
Would this work for clogged arteries?!
My favorite treat is hawthorn berries. Sweet and earthy and gorgeous. Push the stone out and eat.
Hi Rosalee, I enjoyed your video, here's my rather long story for anyone going through the same thing, I have been on BP Medication for years for High Blood Pressure, in the last year my doctor has switched tablets twice, was getting symptomatic cough when laying down at night and with the most recent switch I have developed leg cramps in the night, every night! never suffered leg cramps before only occasionally, I also found out recently that I have an Aortic Aneurysm in the Ascending Arch of the heart, not large but do need to keep my BP down. Desperately wanting to find an alternative to Pharma Drugs I did some research and read about Hawthorn and its BP lowering action so wanted to try it, I purchased some Hawthorn Berry 565mg Capsules some time ago but they have been sitting in the cupboard as I wanted to wait until I spoke with the GP before using them , I did make the mistake of taking 1 capsule whilst still on the BP Meds and it did drop my BP too low, So I took the plunge and have now stopped my BP Meds and low and behold my cough has decreased and leg cramps have stopped , but now just taking the Hawthorn and starting off slowly to watch the effect I'm not sure of how many of the capsules I need to take, bottle says 1 tablet 3-4 times a day, so far I am up to 3 capsules and my BP is still high especially in the mornings.
I would like to ask how long in general would it takes for the Hawthorn to take effect, ?? funny that it was quite quick to react with the BP Med but now on its own not doing much, I really don't want to go back to taking Drugs but also don't want for my BP to stay too high for too long.
Do you think the Tea would work better.?
Thanks for reading.
Thanks for sharing your story! Hawthorn is amazing for the heart but I think it's always best to work with a practitioner. There's so many nuances to the individual person, the herbal material, the situation, and so on. If you are interested in individualized care then I have a list of practitioners on my site at herbswithrosalee.com (just do a search for practitioners and you'll see them listed). Take care!
@@HerbsWithRosalee thank you for your reply, unfortunately I'm in Australia so the list is not practical for me, I will try to seek out a practitioner in my area that can help me with my particular problem and dosage .😊
@@sandragiles1028 Finding someone close you is great! Also all the people on my list offer long distance consultations.
Add dandelions if that help to lower high bp
What about berries,is recepie similar?Thank you!🙏💕
The berries require simmering in the water to extract their herbal constituents. ~Karin Rose
@@HerbsWithRosalee Thanks so much🙏🌺Living here in beautiful Ireland!
Hello,
Would it be possible,or of any value, to infuse honey with Hawthorn? Then when you use it in your tea you would get a little more medicine? What parts of the tree would you recommend?
Thankyou so much for these video's and your books. I feel that your are following in Rosemary Gladstars footsteps
Well that is high praise indeed! Rosemary is the fairy godmother of herbs and she inspires me all the time.
@@HerbsWithRosalee
I was just thinking of using it in your tea as a sweetner, that it would add a little extra medicine. I think Rosemary is amazing! I see in you your love of the plants and the eagerness to teach others, just as she does. Thank you!
Can tea be made with just the leaves? Why are the teas i have found always include the leaves AND flowers or berries? Is it a flavor "thing" or what? i want a leaf only tea!
How long might the side effetcs last? Currently feeling dizzy, nausea and anxiety. Not saying its the hawthorn but its all i can put it down to
Unwanted side effects with hawthorn are rare but not impossible. If you think you're having a medical emergency, please get attention. If symptoms are mild then I would try some deep breathing and meditation to calm the nervous system. I hope you're feeling better soon.
@@HerbsWithRosalee Thanks. Feeling a bit better today 🙏
Is Hawthorne leaf tea effective against shingles?
People more often look to St. John's Wort as a shingles protocol. If you do a search on my channel you'll find a video for it.
I need to make Hathorn tea . We are supposed to get another . Plague, burning . This is the healing . For this plague coming. Can I order the Leaf .
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, you can order hawthorn leaf. Click the "more..." link under the video in the show notes for all the information and links. Here's the most relevant for you:
Are you looking for high quality dried herbs? My recommendation is Mountain Rose Herbs. Hawthorn leaf and flower, whole and powdered berries, extract, and tea blends containing hawthorn are all available. Click here to check them out: bit.ly/3ms3vQ2
~Karin Rose
Will Indian heartthorn work the same ? I live in south Texas zone 9.
You might be referring to Rhaphiolepis indica, which is an entirely different plant than Crataegus spp. They do not have the same gifts as far as I know.
@@HerbsWithRosalee ok. Ty. I’ll see if I can find some in south Texas.
Hi Rosalie how can I join your class?
Hi! Head to rootedmedicinecircle.com to enroll today or tomorrow before 5 pm Pacific. Have a marvelous day, Karin Rose
I have a question. Are red blossomed Hawthorne trees used the same way as the white blossomed ones?
Possibly! Many hawthorn's are worked with similarly, but it's a good idea to get a botanical ID if you can.
@@HerbsWithRosalee thank you!
no way to print the recipe card
Does Indian Hawthorn also have those medicinal properties?
Many Crataegus plants are worked with similarly. Do you know the botanical name?
@@HerbsWithRosalee No, do not know…
DO YOU THINK THAT HAWTHORN LEAVES ON TREES THAT HAVE NEVER YET PRODUCED FLOWERS OR BERRIES WOULD HAVE STRONGER MEDICINAL PROPERTIES THAN LEAVES WOULD HAVE IF THE TREE WAS PRODUCING FLOWERS AND BERRIES ?
I'm honestly not sure but I would be hesitant to harvest a lot from small trees.
@@HerbsWithRosalee OK, thank you. I have 3 Washington Hawthorn I got from the Arbor day foundation several years ago they are small , maybe 6 - 7 feet tall but I've never seen flowers or berries on them, I just thought I'd make a tea with a few leaves and then I was thinking about how some plant parts are preferred for medicine before the flowers appear so i thought maybe since the trees did not have flowers or berries that the leaves might have stronger medicinal properties.
