The plant strain Crataegus oxyacantha corresponds to the scientific name of hawthorn, known since Antiquity and long used in herbal medicine and conventional medicine.
The homeopathic strain uses flowering tops containing part of the stem.

The hawthorn called Crataegus transcribed from the Greek root kratos means strength in allusion to the hardness of the wood which has been used enormously throughout the ages in the manufacture of tools and acute oxus and akantha for "thorn".

It has long been used for various customs throughout the ages and has flowers recognized for its benefits in herbal medicine.
These bouquets of flowers, similar to a snowy coat, were the symbol of chastity, could increase fidelity and were used to ward off the evil eye.
These bouquets were hung above cribs to protect babies and in different rooms of the house.
Principle of manufacture of Crataegus oxyacantha homeopathic medicine
Homeopathy is a pseudo-medicine that relies on the similarity method of treating the patient with a diluted substance which, if administered undiluted to a healthy person, would cause symptoms. This same substance diluted soothes these symptoms in a sick person.

Homeopathy was used by Hippocrates in Greek Antiquity and then updated in the 18th century by a German doctor Samuel Hahnemann.
The plant strain Crataegus oxyacantha underwent a series of hundredth (CH) dilutions meaning Hahnemannian centesimals in purified water at the rate of one drop of solution for 99 drops of solvent.

This strain was also developed in the form of an alcohol-based glycerinated Crataegus oxyacantha macerate.
