Hawthorn (Folium Crataegi cum flore)

• The hawthorn species used for medicinal purposes are medium-sized shrubs or small trees. The white flowers grow in upright panicles. The pointed thorns on the branches, together with the magnificent white flowers, give the plant its name. Hawthorn prefers light shrubs and sunny slopes.
• Effect: Flavonoids, oligomeric procyanides and biogenic amines are responsible for its effect as an excellent remedy for heart disease, cardiovascular weakness and feelings of pressure and anxiety in the heart region. The interaction of all ingredients and their positive potentisation makes hawthorn a natural heart tonic.

Lemon balm (Folium Melissae)

• This perennial, usually highly branched plant grows to a height of around 30 to 70 cm. Its egg-shaped leaves have a lemon-like odour and taste. The typical odour is due to the essential oil (with the main components citral and citronella).
• Effect: Lemon balm has a calming effect and helps with nervous sleep disorders and gastrointestinal complaints. Its antispasmodic effect alleviates stomach and bile problems.

Rosemary (Folium Rosmarini)

• Rosemary is a stately, aromatic-smelling shrub that can grow up to 2 metres tall. The small pale blue flowers bloom from March to May. The rosemary bush grows in Mediterranean countries.
• Effect: Rosemary has a tonic effect on the circulation and balances the nervous system. It is effective in cases of upper abdominal colic and chronic weakness as well as low blood pressure.

Orange blossom (Flos Aurantii)

• Like the lemon tree, the bitter orange or bitter orange tree is a tree up to 5 metres tall with evergreen leaves. The medium-sized, white to cream-coloured flowers are highly fragrant with a sweet, heavy scent and are found in single or few-flowered, leaf-axial clusters. The roundish fruit has a diameter of 7-8 cm, is flattened at both ends and has a thick, rough, orange-coloured skin. The flesh has an acidic, bitter flavour.
• Effect: Due to their calming and sleep-promoting effect, orange blossoms are ideal for treating states of agitation and sleep disorders. They also have a nerve-strengthening and stomach-soothing effect. They can be used for loss of appetite and digestive problems, as well as for gout and sore throats.
