May blossom, quickthorn, the fairy tree: hawthorn extract 50ml bottles a plant with more folk names than almost any in Europe. Crataegus, the thorned tree whose white flowers froth along hedgerows each spring, is prepared here by Botanicals for Life as a classic liquid tincture.

Hawthorn is stitched deep into European rural life. Its timber marked boundaries, its blossom crowned May celebrations, and its red autumn berries, the haws, fed birds and country kitchens alike. Herbalists across the continent gathered flower, leaf and berry for their dispensaries, generation after generation, and never stopped.

What the bottle holds

A liquid extract of hawthorn in the range’s signature amber glass, with a pipette for measuring servings precisely. As throughout the Botanicals for Life line, the plant is named plainly on the label and stands alone in the formula.

• Traditional liquid extract of hawthorn
• A cornerstone plant of European herbalism
• 50ml amber bottle with dropper cap
• Mild, fruity-leafy flavour, easy to take
• Consistent British-made quality

Everyday use

Take the drops in a little water or juice as the label directs, shaking the bottle gently beforehand. Hawthorn’s taste is among the friendliest in the range, faintly reminiscent of autumn fruit, so most people are happy with plain water. Store it cool and shaded between uses.

Hawthorn extract 50ml and the slow tradition

Hawthorn is famously a patient tree, flowering reliably for centuries; ancient specimens in Britain are older than the cathedrals near them. The herbal custom around it is equally unhurried, favouring steady, modest daily servings over drama. A dropper bottle suits that temperament perfectly.

Provenance you can check

Botanicals for Life is made by the long-established British natural health company behind Optima Health, and the whole range reflects that experience: clean extraction, dark glass, honest labels. When a plant carries this much folklore, we think the bottle should be the sober half of the partnership.

It is also a tree you can greet in person. Hawthorns grow across the Mediterranean, and once the white May blossom catches your eye you will spot them every spring, your tincture’s living relatives in the landscape.

Building a European herbal shelf

Hawthorn belongs with the continent’s other great traditionals, valerian and nettle among them, and collectors of the range often display the matching bottles together. Browse the complete cast in our supplements collection at Sattva and see which classics call to you next.

Delivery from Sattva Health Shop covers all of Malta and Gozo, free above €40, with careful padding around every glass bottle. Orders typically arrive within a few working days.

An old friend in amber glass

Few plants have watched over European life as constantly as the hawthorn, from field boundaries to festival mornings. Keeping hawthorn extract 50ml in the cupboard extends that long companionship into your own routine, one small measured glass at a time.

If you are new to tinctures altogether, this gentle hedgerow classic is a lovely place to begin, and a bottle of hawthorn extract 50ml lasts weeks of unhurried daily use.

Hawthorn is the tree of the European hedgerow, and its herbal story is one of quiet, generational loyalty: the berries, leaves and blossom have been prepared as cordials, teas and tinctures across the continent for centuries, with the plant particularly cherished in the traditions that attend to life’s later chapters. In Ireland and Britain it was practically the definition of a country remedy – gathered each autumn as reliably as the harvest.

This hawthorn extract 50ml concentrates the plant into an alcohol-free tincture made to Botanicals for Life’s usual open standard: one named plant, extraction ratio on the label, nothing proprietary. Take the recommended drops in a little water, morning or evening as suits your routine; consistency matters more than timing. The 50ml bottle delivers weeks of daily use and stores anywhere cool. It shares the Ageing & Longevity corner with turmeric – hedgerow and spice route, two long traditions in matching honest bottles.
