Animals' Apawthecary Hawthorn Plus Herbal Remedy is for circulatory support in dogs and cats that may benefit from the antioxidant and strengthening activities of these three time-honored herbs.

Hawthorn (Crataegus) is a shrub commonly found in Europe, western Asia, North America, and North Africa. Medicinal extracts primarily use the leaves and flowers. It has been used for many years for congestive heart failure and to relieve other cardiac problems including angina, cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Traditionally, it has also been used as a sore throat astringent and a diuretic for kidney disorders and edema. The leaves, flowers, and berries of hawthorn contain a variety of bioflavonoids that appear to be primarily responsible for the cardiac actions of the plant.
