It benefits most respiratory problems, including colds. There is a beneficial amount of zinc in the leaves, and this mineral has anti-inflammatory effects. Indications include: chronic and acute bronchitis; irritating coughs; whooping coughs and asthma; and chronic emphysema. As a mild diuretic it may also be used for cystitis. A fresh poultice or decoction can be used externally for insect bites, inflammations, general swellings, burns, erysipelas, ulcers\sores, and phlebitis.

HAWTHORNE LEAF (Crataegus oxycantus) is a cardioalterative, antispasmodic, diuretic, and sedative. One of the most valuable herbs for the heart and circulation. Used for organic and functional heart troubles. The berries reduce high blood pressure caused by hardening of the arteries and kidney disease, while the flowers are used for the "aging" heart and for those with heart-valve disease. This herb has the ability to both lower high blood pressure and to bring low blood pressure back to normal. Other indications include: angina, irregular heartbeat, spasm of the arteries (as with Reynaud's disease), and insomnia with a nervous origin. The Chinese use the berries as a digestive aid, and the French use them to treat dyspepsia and diarrhea.
