Hawthorn Heart Tincture

Sacred guardian of the heart.

Hawthorn strengthens and nourishes the physical heart while also soothing the emotional and spiritual heart space.

A gentle but powerful ally for resilience, courage, and love.

Her blossoms bring joy, her leaves calm the nervous system, and her berries protect and fortify.

This 1:3 tincture in 37% abv has been made with flowers, berries and leaf over the period of a year. All plant matter has been gathered by hand by me from local trees.
