Bonnie,
I order homeopathic Crategeous from England - but when mother tincture is
needed (which I use most often for cardiac issues) check the local health
food stores (liquid 'herbal' tincture) under the name Hawthorn.

Re: [H] crategeous
Long term and I was taught to use it 6 drops three times a day in a little water. It is also used for high cholesterol the same way.

Re: [H] crategeous
Dr AU Ramakrishan suggests 6 months. However I have seen changes in 1 - 2 months with a woman who had high cholesterol but she took 10 drops at a time.

Re: [H] crategeous
Heart Tonic, great results in regulating blood pressure
10 drops TID
works very slowly, can take up to 4 months before seeing results
My Dad had High BP for years and was on allopathic meds to no avail for 20 years
After 4 months on Crataegus tincture his BP began to drop
He is now 86 with a BP average of 120/73
He has been taking the Crataegus daily for the past 8 years
The Doctor claims it is not the Crataegus, but that the medicine finally started to work
we convinced the Dr to decrease the BP meds down to the minimum dose.
-------------------
Crataegus has a great reputation as a heart tonic during initial weakness of the heart. It is also used as a diuretic, astringent, a tonic for sore throats, dropsy, and kidney troubles. Its capacity to lower blood pressure is an indirect consequence of the improved heart function. During the Second World War, the berries were discovered to have a rich vitamin C content, and they were given to the British troops to prevent scurvy and to guard against dropsy. The ash is rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Like all Roses, Crataegus contains hydrocyanic acid compounds.

Crataegus
Crataegus is THE cardiac remedy by excellence.
Crataegus is inotrope positive and chronotrope positive. It will increase the contractibility of the myocardium, treating cardiac insufficiency and hence the associated secondary peripheral edema or pulmonary edema, as well as the entity known as senile heart. It will act on the heart of the elderly like Digitalis, but without any of its side effects; it will also potentise the action of Digitalis when associated to it, allowing to diminish the prescribed dose to tolerable levels and even to remove it altogether.
Crataegus will also treat arrhythmias, extrasystolies, tachycardias and is used in hyperthyroidism for the cardiac symptoms associated to it (but will remain ineffective if the cause is exterior to the heart and is not treated; this means that although a symptomatic amelioration will be seen, it will stop after a while and the pathology return if the thyroid is not properly treated).
Crataegus regularizes blood pressure to normal, whether the problem is hypo tension or hypertension (see the remark in the paragraph Precautions).
Crataegus is an antithrombotic and dissolves plaque, hence its use in angina pectoris and in prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction as well as after MI for the repair of the myocardium. The plaque removal is a slow process and any single remedy should never be relied upon solely; without changes in diet, mineral replenishment (and especially Magnesium) and correction of associated dysfunctions like the liver, to use Crataegus only in any form is once again trying to find the elusive curative silver bullet.
