Hawthorn Blend is a proprietary mix of the extract of the berry, leaf and flower of Crataegus trees. The Certified Organic leaves and flowers are harvested in Europe in spring or early summer. The berries are responsibly wildcrafted in the Pacific Northwest in autumn. The herb is extracted in small batches with Certified Organic cane alcohol for potency and to maintain the balance of phytochemicals as they exist in the plant. Herb Pharm assures herb identity via macroscopic and organoleptic analysis, then confirms it through methods such as HPTLC fingerprinting specific to each herb. The formula is easily dispensed, taken in liquid form and added to water or other liquid.
