• Infección de oído o dolor de oídoCientífico

  Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) has been used for cardiovascular disease since the late 1800s and is currently marketed for angina, hypertension, arrhythmia, and early heart failure. Multiple clinical trials and reviews document vasodilating, anti-ischemic, and antioxidant effects. A 1983 German clinical trial (Hanak & Brückel) specifically demonstrated benefit in mild stable angina pectoris with Crataegus extract. Placebo-controlled trials consistently show improved exercise tolerance and reduced anginal symptoms.

• HipocondríaCientífico

  Hawthorn is rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and OPCs that confer potent free-radical scavenging capacity both in vitro and in vivo. Antioxidant mechanisms include activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and enhancement of antioxidant enzyme (CAT, GPX) activity. This antioxidant activity underpins many of hawthorn's cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic effects.

• Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia AdquiridaCientífico

  Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) contains flavonoids and proanthocyanidins that promote endothelial NO release, reduce peripheral vascular resistance, and protect arteries from oxidative stress. A 2025 PMC meta-analysis confirmed hawthorn significantly reduces blood pressure. A Frontiers in Pharmacology 2020 review documented its antiatherosclerotic mechanisms including endothelial protection and NO-mediated vasorelaxation.

• HipoglucemiaCientífico

  Hawthorn contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins and flavonoids that inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro. A 2022 systematic review confirmed hawthorn among herbs with demonstrated platelet aggregation inhibition in controlled study designs. Hawthorn flavonoids modulate TXA2 synthesis and oxidative stress pathways relevant to platelet activation.

• HipotensiónCientífico

  Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) has been used traditionally for cardiovascular conditions for centuries and is now supported by a 2025 meta-analysis of RCTs showing significant SBP reduction of ~6.65 mmHg in hypertensive patients. Active flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins enhance nitric oxide production and vasodilation.

• Fatiga SuprarrenalCientífico

  Hawthorn extracts improve glycemic parameters in animal models of type 2 diabetes, primarily via AMPK activation that reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis and improves insulin sensitivity. Limited clinical data—including a study with hawthorn plus metformin—show reductions in fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. Human standalone RCT evidence remains limited.

• Válvula IleocecalCientífico

  Hawthorn extracts, particularly flavonoids and triterpenic acids, reduce total cholesterol and LDL-C in animal models and limited clinical observations. A 6-month clinical observation found 5.0 mg/kg hawthorn extract reduced serum lipid levels and promoted plaque stability. Mechanistically, hawthorn inhibits cholesterol absorption by downregulating intestinal acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) and suppresses hepatic lipogenic gene expression via AMPK/SREBP pathways.

• ApendicitisCientífico

  Hawthorn extracts suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, COX-2) in cell and animal models. One clinical study combining hawthorn with metformin found significantly reduced hs-CRP in prediabetic patients. Triterpenoids such as maslinic acid (hawthorn acid) exhibit protective effects against chronic inflammatory diseases in vivo and in vitro.

• Apetito (excesivo)Científico

  Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) extracts, standardised to oligomeric procyanidins and flavonoids, have documented cardioprotective and peripheral vascular benefits. Multiple clinical trials confirm efficacy in heart failure and suggest peripheral vasorelaxation and blood pressure reduction via nitric oxide-dependent and independent mechanisms. German Commission E has approved hawthorn for cardiac insufficiency and circulatory support.

• BronquitisCientífico

  Hawthorn's dense polyphenol content supports antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms relevant to aging. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial found 900 mg/day hawthorn fruit for 6 months improved skin hydration and reduced wrinkles, with effects on leukocyte telomere length modulated by TERT genetic polymorphisms.

• JuanetesCientífico

  Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) has been studied in multiple randomized, placebo-controlled trials for heart health, particularly chronic heart failure and hypertension. A Cochrane-reviewed meta-analysis found significant benefits in symptom control and physiologic outcomes as adjunctive therapy for chronic heart failure. However, the large SPICE trial (2,681 patients, 24 months) did not show significant reduction in primary cardiac events in the overall CHF population, though a pre-specified subgroup showed a meaningful reduction in sudden cardiac death. The NIH/NCCIH characterizes the overall evidence as conflicting.

• Pies o Manos ArdientesCientífico

  Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) extract has demonstrated antiarrhythmic effects in laboratory, animal, and real-world clinical studies. A large German retrospective cohort study (n=9,000+ patients) found hawthorn extract WS 1442 was significantly associated with lower incidence of atrial fibrillation/flutter, tachycardia, and other cardiac arrhythmias versus controls. Its flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins prolong cardiac action potential and refractory period.

• GingivitisCientífico

  Hawthorn, particularly C. pinnatifida, has been reviewed for its effects on metabolic syndrome components including dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and elevated inflammatory markers. Combined animal and limited clinical data support improvements across multiple MetS parameters simultaneously through AMPK, PPAR, and antioxidant pathways.

• Colon (espástico)Científico

  Hawthorn extract (especially WS 1442) stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) to release NO from vascular endothelium, producing vasodilation and increasing coronary flow. This mechanism has been demonstrated in isolated arterial rings, rat heart preparations, and the human mammary artery. NO-mediated vasodilation is considered a primary mechanism behind hawthorn's cardiovascular and antihypertensive effects.

• DebilidadCientífico

  Multiple animal studies and at least one clinical observation demonstrate that hawthorn extracts significantly reduce serum triglyceride levels. Hawthorn total flavonoids reduce TG in HFD-induced hyperlipidemic models, and clinical data showed TG reduction when hawthorn was combined with metformin in prediabetic patients. The AMPK-SREBP-1c axis is the leading proposed mechanism.

• DislocaciónTradicional

  Hawthorn has longstanding traditional use in TCM for abdominal bloating, fullness, and discomfort associated with food stagnation. It is a key ingredient in classical TCM formulas for dyspepsia and abdominal stagnation. Animal and some pharmacological data support gastrointestinal motility-promoting effects, but controlled human trials for this specific indication are lacking.

• Acidez EstomacalTradicional

  Hawthorn has a documented traditional use in European and TCM herbalism for anxiety, nervousness, and palpitations associated with mild anxiety. A double-blind RCT of a fixed combination containing hawthorn, California poppy, and magnesium reduced mild-to-moderate anxiety versus placebo, but hawthorn's independent contribution cannot be isolated. NCCIH states the evidence on hawthorn for anxiety remains unclear.

• AmenorreaTradicional

  Hawthorn has a well-documented traditional use as a mild neurosedative and calming agent in European and folk medicine. Preclinical studies confirm CNS depressant activity in animal models, and EMA recognizes its traditional indication for nervous cardiac complaints with palpitations. No standalone human RCTs specifically targeting calm/relaxation as a primary endpoint exist.

• Debilidad CapilarTradicional

  Hawthorn has traditional use as a mild sedative and hypnotic in European folk medicine. Animal studies demonstrate CNS depressant activity supporting this use. A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis found a complete absence of RCT evidence for hawthorn as a standalone agent for insomnia, and available clinical data involve multi-herb combinations.

• Enfermedad de CrohnTradicional

  Hawthorn is traditionally used to improve sleep quality, particularly when sleep disturbance is linked to nervous tension or palpitations. Animal CNS depressant data support the traditional rationale. Available human data involve combination products without hawthorn-specific isolation of effect.

• CortesTradicional

  Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is traditionally used as a cardiovascular and circulatory tonic, included in historical vein-support formulas alongside horse chestnut, ginkgo, and gotu kola. Its bioflavonoids and proanthocyanidins have documented antioxidant and vascular-protective effects. Traditional herbalism recommends it as part of spider vein and varicose vein support regimens.

• Fibrosis QuísticaTradicional

  Hawthorn is traditionally used in European and folk medicine for stress-related nervous complaints. Animal studies confirm CNS depressant and anxiolytic activity that supports the traditional rationale. No dedicated human RCTs on stress as a primary endpoint have been published.

• DiarreaTradicional

  Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) has been used in traditional European and Chinese herbal medicine as a cardiac tonic thought to improve circulatory function and reduce fluid retention associated with mild heart insufficiency. Animal studies show hawthorn procyanidins increase urine flow and sodium excretion, supporting its traditional cardiovascular-diuretic use. Robust human trials specifically on fluid retention remain limited.
