🌺 Hawthorn Tincture — Description

Hawthorn tincture is a deep, ruby-toned extract made from the berries, leaves, and blossoms of the hawthorn tree — a plant long honoured in European herbal traditions for its gentle, heart-centred energy. Steeped in alcohol, the plant’s rich pigments, aromatic compounds, and subtle floral notes are drawn out into a concentrated liquid that carries the soul of the tree.

Its flavour is slightly tart, warm, and subtly sweet, reminiscent of autumn hedgerows and early spring blooms. Many herbalists treasure hawthorn tincture not only for its physical qualities but also for its calming, grounding presence — a plant ally often associated with emotional resilience, balance, and a sense of inner steadiness.

How has it been used?

Hawthorn has a marvellous folk-history as a heart remedy and restorative and modern studies fully bear out its traditional reputation.
