It's been working well to lower blood pressure and regulate heartbeat, but does it interract with other herbs like ones to help control diabetes?
Is the herb Hawthorn safe to take with Ginsana and other herbal remedies?
Hawthorn is quite safe. I've not found any interactions. It is a coronary vasodilator, antispasmodic, anti-hypertensive, adaptogen, diuretic, sedative to nervous system, cholesterol %26amp; mineral solvent. It's just what you need.
But Ginsana is Korean Ginseng. It is more suited to men than women. Can cause hyperactivity in children. Not used in cases of high blood pressure or in menopause. Not taken for more than 1 month continuously.
There are better herbs for diabetes -- Goat's Rue, Dandelion, Fenugreek, Cinnamon, Bay leaf and others.
Reply:first of all,if you are a patient of cardiac ailments you should follow the three simple steps-
1-get ur lipid profile done.
2-reduce salt intake
3-do light excercises daily/reduce weight.
More over the safety and tolerability of this herb havent been established even in any proving.but yes in homeopathy you can there are cerainly some medicines like crategous ox.Q for improving the strength of heart/rauwlfia serpentinaQ 5 drops twice daily for maintaining a good blood pressure.
but dont depend on herbs and medicines only to keep your heart going.The above three are more important .
Reply:Hawthorne is safe in combination with any other supplements or meds. It is a gentle and safe tonic that can be taken over a long period of time to strengthen all cardiovascular conditions safely.

Reply:To make a thick hedge,plant a double row,staggered some 455mm to 610mm apart.
Slope the plants at about thirty degrees and the side growths will grow vertically and make the hedge more dense.
Suggest taking out a trench,breaking up the subsoil and working in well rotted manure or compst.

Should the Hawthorn Football Club change the colours and design of there football jumpers ?
I have always supported the Hawks, but seriously there brown and gold playing strip ugh! Do you think the colours deter younger people from becoming supporters, I would like to see a playing strip similiar to the NRL wests tigers with a big aggresive claws out Hawk I realise this breaks tradition but I think its time to move on.
Your thoughts and comments please.
Should the Hawthorn Football Club change the colours and design of there football jumpers ?
I've always kind of liked the Hawthorn strip with white shorts but not with either brown or gold shorts as they've tried a few times. It's also a strip with a proud tradition and I think we need to be careful of losing that from our game.
Yeah by all means have an alternative jumper with an aggressive design like that ... but keep the original too. I think Rugby League has made a mistake in the chase for cash by losing the traditional strips of many clubs.
PS you'll have trouble getting 'claws' ... they're called "talons" on a bird of prey but I know what you mean :-)
Reply:I don't like the colours but have to say that they are original, after all would you prefer blue and white or red and white (like every second club).
Agree about the aggressive claws, stripes just don't cut it anymore. I think the reason for them in the first place was cause they were easy to machine but nowadays we can do anything so there is no excuse.
PS try submitting this in Australian Rules for a wider response.
Reply:How can you say you are a hawks supporter when you knock their strip, there are worse in the AFL.

What is the name of the berries from the Hawthorn Tree?
Hawberries - see below
Hawthorn Berries
Crataegus Hawthorn Berries Herb(Hawthorn) is a large genus of shrubs and small trees in the family Rosaceae, characterized by their small, apple-like fruits and thorny branches. The fruits are sometimes known as "haws", from which the name derived. The name hawthorn was originally applied to the species native to northern Europe, especially the Common Hawthorn C. monogyna, but is now applied to the entire genus, and also to the related Asian genus Rhaphiolepis.
Crataegus is native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere. The number of species in the genus depends on taxonomic interpretation, with numerous apomictic microspecies; some botanists recognise a thousand or more species, while others reduce the number to 200 or fewer.
Hawthorns provide food and shelter for many species of birds and mammals, and the flowers are important for many nectar-feeding insects. Hawthorns are also used as food plants by Hawthorn Berries

Hawthorns provide food and shelter for many species of birds and mammals, and the flowers are important for many nectar-feeding insects. Hawthorns are also used as food plants by arvae of a large number of Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera which feed on Hawthorns.
In Celtic lore, the hawthorn plant was used commonly for rune inscriptions along with Yew and Apple. It was once said to heal the broken heart.
Many species and hybrids are used as ornamental and street trees. The Common Hawthorn is extensively used in Europe as a hedge plant. Several cultivars of the Midland Hawthorn C. laevigata have been selected for their pink or red flowers. Hawthorns are among the trees most recommended for water-conservation landscapes.
Hawthorn Berries Herb is also used as a herb to lower blood pressure, and treat some heart related diseases.
Uses
The fruits of the species Crataegus pinnatifida, which are bright red and resemble small crabapple fruits, are used to make many kinds of Chinese snacks, including haw flakes and tánghúlú (糖葫芦, literally "sugar gourd", consisting of candied hawthorn fruits on bamboo skewers). This latter food is popular with children in northern China, where it is a traditional winter snack . The fruits are also used to produce jams, jellies, juices, alcoholic beverages, and other drinks .
The dried fruits of Crataegus pinnatifida (called 山楂 or shān zhā in Chinese) are used in traditional Chinese medicine, primarily as a digestive aid. Other species (especially Crataegus laevigata) are used in Western herbal medicine, where the plant is believed to strengthen cardiovascular function .
HAWBERRY RECIPES
Hawthorn Jelly
Ingredients
1 GALLON HAWS
WATER
SUGAR
Directions
WASH HAWS AND PLACE IN A 6-8 QUART POT.
BARELY COVER WITH WATER; SIMMER UNTIL SOFT.
STRAIN THROUGH A JELLY BAG.
MEASURE JUICE, PLACE IN POT, BRING TO A ROLLING BOIL.
SKIM OFF FOAM, AND ADD ¾ CUP SUGAR FOR EACH CUP OF JUICE.
STIR UNTIL SUGAR DISSOLVES, STIRRING CONSTANTLY; COOK UNTIL SYRUP SHEETS OFF SPOON.
SEAL IN HOT, STERILIZED JARS.
PROCESS IN BOILING WATER BATH FOR 10 MINUTES.
HAWTHORN BUTTER
4 POUNDS HAWS (TO YIELD 3 CUPS OF PULP)
1 QUART WATER
7 CUPS SUGAR
Cook Haws in the water until soft. Press through a sieve. Cook the strained sauce with sugar. Soon after boiling, it will flake rather than coat the spoon. Jar and seal. Process in boiling water 10 minutes.
A tart jelly made from hawthorn berries
Hawthorn berries, sugar and water. Some people call them haw berries.
As well as jelly, I read the fruit also makes a good liqueur. This could truly be used for medicinal purposes, as they are reportedly good for the heart. The recipe I read for this contained just the berries and vodka.
1.5kg ripe hawthorn berries (haws)
water
sugar
Wash the berries, then place in a large pot and add enough water to cover. Cook until they are very soft.
Place a colander over a large bowl and pour the mixture into this, breaking the fruit up with a potato masher or similar. Strain the resulting juice in the bowl through muslin.
Add 1 cup of sugar for each cup of this juice. Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil vigorously until the setting point is reached. Pour into sterilised bottles and seal.
Hawthorn Berry Syrup
A wonderful syrup for pancakes can be made by simmering hawthorn fruit and hackberries (1 part fruit to 3 parts water). When the liquid is dark, strain and simmer down to half its original volume. Add sugar or honey to taste, and either store in the fridge or process in a canner at 10 pounds pressure for 15 minutes.
Hedge jelly
You need:
1 quantity elderberries
2 quantities crab apples
4 quantities haws (the berries of the hawthorn)
(Anne gathered about 700g haws, so we based our recipe on that amount.)
Wash the fruit, removing elderberries from their twigs with a fork, removing twigs from haws and chopping crab apples. Place all in a pan and just cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer until soft (we left them for a couple of hours). Strain off the juice. “Proper” cookbooks will tell you not to squeeze the fruit but that’s for the purists. It gets you the clearest jelly but loses more of the fruit. Once the juice has strained, weight it and add the same amount of sugar (we had 920g juice so added 920g sugar). Bring it back to the boil and boil until it sets (I like a temperature of about 104 degrees C, which gives a nice soft jelly), then pour into clean, sterile jars.
Hedgerow Sandwiches
For a couple of weeks in March the hawthorn bushes start to sprout tiny leaves. Pick a few cupfuls carefully and use them in sandwiches as you would water cress, add a little freshly ground pepper and salt and even some grated cheese if you wish.
Haw sauce
1½ lb/750g haws
¾ pint/450ml vinegar
4 oz/100g sugar
1 oz/25g salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Method:
Strip the berries from their sprays and wash them. Put into a pan with the vinegar and cook over a gentl heat for 30 minutes. Press the pulp through a sieve and return to the pan with sugar and seasonings. Boil for 10 minutes. Bottle and seal.
This makes a delicious ketchup to go with rich meats, either hot or cold.
Hip soup (Swedish)
3 cups fresh rose hips or 2 cups dried hips
1½ tablespoons potato flour
1½ qts water
½ cup sugar
garnish with blanched almonds
Clean rose hips and put in vigorously boiling water. Cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, then strain, forcing hips through sieve. Measure out 1¾ qts of liquid thus obtained, adding cold water if needed. Return to kettle, add sugar and stir in potato flour. Bring to boiling point, stirring constantly. Pour into soup tureen and add shredded almonds. Serve cold with whipped cream and rusks.
Can't guarantee you'll llike the results, tho' they're not to everyone's tastes! Used to be called 'bread and cheese' by country children in our locality.

http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?...
Not really rated as a foodstuff, other than a famine food. I have two obscure Russian recipes for it:
Guelder-Rose Berry Drink - Bashkir cuisine
2 cups guelder-rose berries
3 tbsp sugar
1 liter boiled water Directions:
Clean berries, mince, pour with cold boiled water and let to infuse for 12 hours. Filter the drink and add sugar.
Guilder rose kissel
Ingredients:
100 g guelder rose berries
0.5 cupful sugar
2 tblsps potato flour
Directions:
Sort the fresh berries, wash, add some water, close with a lid and set aside for an hour. Then press the berries through a sieve, remove the stones, pour in hot water, add the sugar, mix and bring to a boil. Pour in the dissolved potato flour and bring to a boil again.
These two recipes are as yet untried so again I can't vouch for taste if you give them a go!
Reply:Depending where you are in the country, you need to pick the berries when you have the firstfrost. I have made wine from the berries. the berries are called Haw berries and in times gone by, the first frost used to be called Haw Frost as that was the time you picked the berries. You need to pick about 3lbs of berries and use the same amount of sugar. I dont have the exact recipe but you can look it up on the net. This makes white wine. You need to ferment it for some time otherwise it will taste bitter.
Reply:boil the berries to a mushy pulp, strain and sperqate the liquid, throw the pulp out.. top up to a gallon 4quarts, with water, 2lb of sugar abd a teaspoon of yeast...
and be patient
Reply:Haws. They ripen at the same time as rose hips, giving rise to the phrase "hips and haws".

What's the best way of preventing roe deer from eating the new shoots on my three-years old hawthorn hedge?
I planted a hawthorn hedge in spring 2005 and its development is constantly being retarded by the local itinerant roe deer population browsing the tender young shoots each spring and summer. Short of ereecting an eaight foot high fence on both sides, how can I deter these unwelcome nightly visitations?
What's the best way of preventing roe deer from eating the new shoots on my three-years old hawthorn hedge?
I think they make a waxy pepper spray that you can spray on things so that wildlife won't eat them.

The deer never really bothered the hawthorn too much. Here's some ideas on why that was %26amp; what worked for us:
- Having a lot of the hawthorn bush means that each bush gets eaten a little less
- Putting the hawthorn in the front of the yard, or wherever the deer don't tend to visit might help
- Deer love fruit leftovers like watermelon rinds. Toss some in your neighbors yard to create a sort of detour

Reply:Human hair (e.g. your own, from your hair brush) can repel roe deer and other wildlife if you put it in your hedge. I have seen similar repellants in garden centers.
You can also try the fertilizer "bloodmeal", and isn't so bad as it sounds. It is made from blood from slaughtered animals (pigs) and is high in nitrogen. So maybe it does your hedge good in a double way.
More elaborate, but not necessarily difficult, is to try an electric fence. The mere electromagnetic field generated around the wire is said to deter the cute little bastards from coming near your hedge. Works with a regular car battery (12 V).

Reply:If you don't live where coyote urine is readily available, one of the best repellents are firelighters dissolved in methylated spirit. Spray it thinly on the underside of the leaves, so it won't get washed away by the rain. My enemies are the local red deer, and it was the only thing that saved my apple trees.
Reply:use dog hair and coyote urine. the urine can be purchased at the local hunting and trapping store. also spray the hedge with a good mix of hot pepper juice.
Reply:i make my own pepper spray with hot sauce and water in an empty dish soap bottle and spray it around. i like the under the leaves idea so it does not wash off. this is the most inexpensive thing i have used.
Reply:hang chilly peppers on the hedge or rub the shoots not the buds with chilly source thy will no be back ??
Reply:Human hair (e.g. your own, from your hair brush) can repel roe deer and other wildlife if you put it in your hedge. I have seen similar repellants in garden centers.
You can also try the fertilizer "bloodmeal", and isn't so bad as it sounds. It is made from blood from slaughtered animals (pigs) and is high in nitrogen. So maybe it does your hedge good in a double way.
More elaborate, but not necessarily difficult, is to try an electric fence. The mere electromagnetic field generated around the wire is said to deter the cute little bastards from coming near your hedge. Works with a regular car battery (12 V).
Reply:Lay chicken wire on ground prior to the hedge.
Predator urine (phew).
Spray hedge with pepper/hot sauce.
Set up lawn sprinkles to a motion detector.
Reply:chicken wire fence although idid see a program were they built a fence of small logs and branches.

Can Hawthorn tree "volunteers" from seed be grown? Are they true to the parent tree?
I don't know what kind of hawthorn I have but a lot of "volunteers" sprouted this year. I grew redbuds from sprouts this way and they turned out very nice.

The Washington Hawthorn grows true from seed. Some of the thornless cultivars may not; I don't know.

Who does the Hawthorn Football Clubs internal investigations?
Do they have anyone of any note to make inquiries into incidents such as Druggie Franklin was involved in last weekend? As usual the club denied that Druggy, or any of the clubs players, has done anything wrong %26amp; that the case was closed.
Hawthorn has become nearly as bad as Collingwood for denials %26amp; covering for their players when they hit the drugs or booze.
Who does the Hawthorn Football Clubs internal investigations?
The club's CEO Robson does them.
Why would one be surprised that there is a cover up when clubs do their own investigations. A professional organization would not permit such goings on by allowing clubs to look into their own affairs. So many AFL are getting into trouble, of recent, all clubs are covering up %26amp; sweeping their findings under the carpet.
Reply:Yes. As someone has already said, Ian Robson makes the inquiries - or at least makes the announcement of the outcome.
From what I've seen of late Geelong %26amp; Fremantle are probably the best clubs at not trying to cover when any of their players transgress.
IMO Collingwood have always been the worst in covering up but it looks like Hawthorn have joined their ranks as well.
Reply:Who does the investigations? Their cheif executive Ian Robson handled this.

Hawthorn and Adelaide played in elimination final at the end of the game a song played what was it?
Elimination Final, Hawthorn beat Adelaide by 3 points in AFl. At the end of the game a song played, not the hawthorn club song but an actual song, it wasn't played at the football ground it was playing while scenes were getting shown. Does anyone know wat its called or any lyrics from it?
