Key Uses of Crataegus Oxyacantha Mother Tincture
Homeopathic practitioners recommend Crataegus Oxyacantha Mother Tincture for the following conditions:
- Weak, irregular heartbeat and palpitations
- Angina pectoris with chest oppression and pain
- Arteriosclerosis and hardening of the arteries
- High blood pressure associated with cardiac weakness

How Crataegus Oxyacantha Works
Moreover, Crataegus Oxyacantha strengthens the heart muscle and improves its contractile force. This action helps the heart pump blood more efficiently without increasing the heart rate unnecessarily. Consequently, it supports patients suffering from both acute and chronic heart failure. Also, its vasodilatory action relaxes arterial walls and reduces peripheral resistance effectively.
The remedy also reduces oxidative stress in cardiac tissue directly. However, its most notable clinical use remains in degenerative heart conditions and arteriosclerosis. Additionally, researchers have identified flavonoids and oligomeric proanthocyanidins as its key active constituents. Therefore, the mother tincture form preserves these compounds in their most bioavailable state.
