Background[edit | edit source]
- Crataegus rhipidophylla is a flowering shrub or tree of the rose family. It is native to Europe and grows in temperate regions throughout the world.
- Historically, Crataegus rhipidophylla has been used for heart disease as well as for digestive and kidney problems. It has also been used for anxiety.
- Extracts from the Crataegus rhipidophylla leaf, flower, or berry may be sold as capsules, tablets, or liquids.
Medicine use[edit | edit source]
- Crataegus rhipidophylla has been studied for heart failure in people. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can’t pump as much blood as it should.
- Not much is known about hawthorn for any other health conditions as there is little or no evidence.
Science[edit | edit source]
- Although some older, short-term studies suggested that hawthorn may have benefits in patients with heart failure, two longer term studies completed in 2008 and 2009—including a 2-year trial involving almost 2,700 people in 13 European countries—did not confirm these benefits. In these studies, unlike some of the older ones, patients were given hawthorn in addition to the recommended conventional treatments for heart failure.
Safety[edit | edit source]
- In most studies of Crataegus rhipidophylla for heart failure, no serious safety problems have been reported. However, in one study, patients taking Crataegus rhipidophylla were more likely than those taking a placebo (an inactive substance) to have their heart failure get worse soon after the study started. The reason for this is not clear, but one possibility is that Crataegus rhipidophylla might have interacted with drugs the patients were taking.
- Side effects of hawthorn can include dizziness, nausea, and digestive symptoms.
- Crataegus rhipidophylla may interact in harmful ways with drugs, including some heart medications. If you’re taking medication and you’re considering using Crataegus rhipidophylla, consult your health care provider.
