Is hawthorn extract an effective sleep aid?
No, it is not.





Hawthorn :


Relieves chest pain of angina.


Lowers high blood pressure.


Helps the heart pump more efficiently in people with congestive heart failure.


Corrects irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmia).

Reply:Add to Zambiti's list 1) Hops tincture; 2) Passion flower; 3) Linden (Tilia) tea, tincture and infusions; 4) Oatstraw; 5) Calms and Calms Forte Tablets; 6) Alfalfa tablets, tincture and tea and Alfalco Liquid Extract; 7) The daily consumption of Oats and Oatstraw Tea; 8) Chamomile tea and tincture. And ditto the commentary about Hawthorne being used as a high blood pressure and heart tonic. I am not at all familiar with its use as a sleep aid.
Reply:Yeah pretty much what everyone else said. It definately should not be used as a sleep aid. I would try sleep aids that have chamomile, valerian, hops and 5HTP in them. That combination is usually awesome. You may want to look for a good sleep aid as I take this and it does wonders. http://www.snoozeease.com
Reply:I've never heard hawthorn being used for insomnia. The power hitters for insomnia are melatonin, chamomile tea and Epsom salt baths (20 minute limit).
