- Hawthorn has been traditionally used in European herbal medicine to support overall health and immune function. A decoction or tincture made from the berries is often recommended.
Crataegus species contain proanthocyanidins which have antioxidant properties that may help protect cells against oxidative stress, potentially supporting immune system function. However, the exact mechanism for immune support is not fully characterised.
