History of hawthorn
Hawthorn, scientifically known as Crataegus, has a rich history dating back centuries. This small tree or shrub is native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. For generations, hawthorn has been revered in traditional herbal practices. Hawthorn berries, leaves, and flowers were often used medicinally, made into tonics, tinctures and teas, by herbalists who valued its numerous properties. The plant was deeply intertwined with folklore and cultural practices, symbolising love and protection.
