A.Vogel's Hawthorn Crataegus Drops is a tincture containing hawthorn berry extract. The use of Hawthorn or, as it is more commonly known, Crataegus is shrouded in folklore and tradition. Many stories prevail about Hawthorn and its deep red fruit borne on spiky shrubs are familiar to many, particularly during the autumn.

Hawthorn is also known as the May Tree, due to the beautiful white blossoms that it produces in May.
