Efficacy: Hawthorn is sour and sweet, warm in nature, good at digestion and stagnation, good at promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis; Walnut kernel is warm and moist, which is a traditional good product for tonifying kidney. Whether it is used for dispensing, eating raw or cooking, it has a good effect, especially suitable for the elderly with liver and kidney deficiency and weak waist and knees.
It should be noted that tannic acid contained in raw hawthorn is easy to form gastrolith when combined with gastric acid. If the gastrolith cannot be digested for a long time, it will cause gastric ulcer, gastric bleeding and even gastric perforation.
Therefore, hawthorn can't be eaten on an empty stomach. Try to avoid raw hawthorn, especially people with weak gastrointestinal function. Hawthorn is best cooked before eating.
