Hawthorne Leaf and Flower

On the emotional and spiritual side, hawthorn is a great herb for heart healing. It can be used to help people establish their own emotional space. Anytime that you’ve had heartbreak—you can literally feel your heart hurt, and wounded, and as part of this to prevent further hurt, you close up/constrict yourself and are unwilling to open yourself again. Hawthorn helps us heal from this kind of emotional damage—we can see this in the tree itself, who offers its medicine freely but also creates a protective space with its thorns. Hawthorn, therefore, provides an energetic/etheric protection to the heart and helps us establish our own space. Hawthorn is a wonderful tree to help with heart guarding or heart healing. You can use this energetically or physically. It can be as simple as carrying a bag of hawthorn with you or rubbing tincture on your heart. It can be used in a daily ritual or during affirmations and can help you connect with your intentions. You can use it for emotional issues
