The Heart Herb That’s Good For Your Skin

You knew this herb is great for your heart. But did you know it is good for your skin? Here’s a new way to reduce wrinkles.

Hawthorn is famous as the great heart herb. But this new study tested it out for your skin.

The double-blind study gave either a placebo or 900mg a day of hawthorn fruit powder to 41 males and females who were between the ages of 25 and 75.

At the end of the 6 month study, skin hydration was worse in the placebo group but significantly better in the hawthorn group. The hawthorn group also had reduced wrinkles, while the placebo group’s wrinkles got worse.

This study suggests that hawthorn may have anti-aging effects on the skin, improving hydration and reducing wrinkles.
