Hawthorn Berry

Directions for Use

Directions: Add the amount of botanicals per a recipe, as desired, or as directed by a health practitioner. The proper way of extracting botanicals depends on parts used. Flowers, fruits and leaves can usually be steeped or decocted (boiling over fire) while stems, barks and roots typically require decocting. In a Desktop Botanical Garden Glass Tea & Elixir maker, add 1 part botanical(s) and 5-8 parts water, steep or decoct for 5-20 minutes. You can boil water directly in the elixir maker. Repeat this process for 2nd or 3rd extraction until all active constituents have been extracted.

Formulation Notes

Hawthorn Berry or Crataegus fruit strengthens digestion.

It helps remove stagnated food from the digestive tract and restore normal functioning of the spleen and stomach in digesting and distributing nutrients.

Crataegus is a common sweet and sour snack, often consumed when one has consumed too much meat or greasy food.

Flavor - Fruity berry notes, but not sweet. Little bit of dry mouth feel afterwards
