It has the functions of promoting gastric juice secretion and increasing enzymes in the body. It can stimulate the appetite and aid digestion, especially for eliminating food stagnation. If the digestive function of the stomach and intestines is good, the absorption will be better. Many digestive aids contain hawthorn.

Patients with blood stasis type dysmenorrhea often experience lower abdominal pain on the 1st or 2nd day of the menstrual period or 1 or 2 days before menstruation. The pain will be relieved or disappear when the menstrual blood flows smoothly.

The specific method is: wash 1000 grams of fresh hawthorn with core, add appropriate amount of water, simmer until the hawthorn is cooked, then add 250 grams of brown sugar, cook for 10 minutes, until it becomes a thin paste.

8. Hawthorn protects the cardiovascular system. Hawthorn contains a flavonoid medicinal ingredient that can effectively prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. It can also dilate blood vessels, improve heart vitality, increase coronary blood flow, lower cholesterol, soften blood vessels and have a sedative effect.

9. Precautions for eating hawthorn: Although hawthorn is good, pregnant women should not eat it because it will stimulate uterine contraction and may cause miscarriage without attention; children who are in the tooth replacement period should not eat hawthorn slices and hawthorn cakes as it is not good for tooth growth; iron pans should not be used to cook hawthorn because the acid in hawthorn will generate low-valent iron compounds with iron, which is not good for health. The tannic acid contained in raw hawthorn can easily form gastric stones when combined with stomach acid, which are difficult to digest. If the gastric stones cannot be digested for a long time, they will cause gastric ulcers, gastric bleeding and even gastric perforation. Therefore, you should try to eat less raw hawthorn, especially people with weak gastrointestinal function should be more cautious. Doctors suggest that it is best to cook hawthorn before eating. Or it can be made into: candied haws, canned hawthorn, homemade fruit dan, fried red fruit, hawthorn radish, sweet and sour hawthorn, hawthorn enzyme, etc.

How to make hawthorn enzyme

1. Prepare white sugar, hawthorn, purified water, and Yeast Mama enzyme barrel. White sugar: 750 grams (1.5 pounds) Hawthorn: 1250 grams (2.5 pounds) Purified water: 6 liters (12 pounds) 2. Wash the hawthorn (remove the seeds and slice it). 3. Dissolve the white sugar in pure water. 4. Put the chopped hawthorn and dissolved white sugar into the enzyme barrel, add purified water up to 6.5 liters (there is a scale on the barrel) and stir evenly. 5. Stir once in the morning and evening every day, and fermentation will be successful in 3 to 7 days.

A well-fermented enzyme should be like this: ️It has a strong fruity aroma and some sour taste but no peculiar smell; ️The fruit does not change color after fermentation and the color remains bright; ️It tastes a little sour, and it tastes better in a shorter time, but there is still a small amount of sugar. After a while, it will taste like alcohol, and after a while it will be sour. Personally, I suggest posting a little more!
