1. You may consume one or two pieces of honey-preserved hawthorn daily, ideally after meals; avoid eating them on an empty stomach to prevent gastric irritation.
2. Honey-preserved hawthorn can be eaten year-round, but do not prepare excessive quantities at once. It is best stored in the refrigerator during the rainy season or periods of high summer heat.
3. Hawthorn stimulates the appetite and is popular, but it should not be consumed in excess-especially by children who are in the process of losing their baby teeth.
4. Hawthorn can stimulate uterine contractions; pregnant women with a history of habitual miscarriage or threatened miscarriage should avoid consuming large amounts to prevent harm to the fetus.
5. Individuals suffering from excessive stomach acid, ulcers, or low blood pressure, as well as those with high blood sugar levels, should exercise caution or consult a doctor before consumption.
