Synergistic uses
Hawthorn can be combined with one of the two bud macerates known for their calming and sedative effects, useful in cases of cardiac arrhythmia: Fig or Linden.
Hawthorn can be combined with Linden for its sedative properties, and with the macerate of Olive buds, which slowly but surely lowers blood pressure.
Hawthorn can be used in combination with Oak bud macerate, preferably in the morning, which stimulates adrenal hormone production.
If Hawthorn is a cardiac regulator, it is interesting to combine it with a macerate of buds with calming properties for palpitations, such as Linden.
Hawthorn and Linden form a duo of bud macerates that are very useful when the heart is racing, for example in the case of tachycardia. They regulate the heartbeat and calm you down.
Hawthorn can be combined with other sprout macerates with hypothyroid action to act against hyperthyroidism: Bloody Dogwood and Viburnum.
Linden is associated with the second best known macerated herb for its calming action, Fig. In the case of manifestations of cardiac origin, hawthorn can complete its action.
