Why it works
The regulatory document covers hawthorn leaf with flower; a flower-only tea is a narrower home variant. Cardiovascular conditions must be ruled out by a physician — the text is not a guide for treating a diagnosis at home.
Literature
- EMA HMPC — Crataegus spp., folium cum flore — Primárně list+květ; u čistě květového čaje jde o příbuznou formu.
