Hawthorn
The herb hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) is said to stimulate
the heart and promote good circulation by relaxing blood vessels
and making the muscle beat more powerfully, therefore creating
a difficult environment for clogs to form. A group of Cochrane
Researchers looked at 14 randomized control trials that
compared the effects of hawthorn extract to placebo or
conventional therapies.
The trials studied a total of 855 people and researchers
concluded that hawthorn extract improved maximal workload of
the heart, increased exercise tolerance, reduced oxygen
consumption by the heart, and reduced shortness of breath and
fatigue.
