New to the group

[Guest guest]

John,

Thanks for the reply. I have been crushing just the berries from the Hawthorn

tree. I do not know anything at all about herbs, or alternative medicine. My

BP has been running just a little high. Say 130/90 up to 145/90. I have heart

disease which includes a weak heart, and an irregular heart beat, along with a

pulse rate of 80, or higher. I've had a triple bypass.

 

I just found out about the Hawthornberries. How do I go about finding the

Hawthorn in extract form here in the United States?

 

Thank you,

 

Robert

London, Kentucky
