Medicinal herb description
History
The chokeberry, which is also called apple berry, is a small berry that can easily be mistaken for a blueberry in appearance. Originally, chokeberry came from North America, where it was eaten as a fruit by the indigenous people, mainly as a winter food supply.
At the beginning of the 20th century, chokeberry was officially declared as a fruit and was imported to Russia and cultivated. From there, cultivation gradually spread throughout Eastern Europe until it finally found its way to Germany. It is mainly in the eastern federal states, above all Saxony, that chokeberry is cultivated and marketed as a fruit.
The healing power of the chokeberry has only been recognised in Central Europe in recent years. Since then, it has been used as a medicinal plant, especially for cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and inflammations.
Plant family

Medicinal properties
The healing power of chokeberry was discovered in Russia over 50 years ago. Nevertheless, the healing properties of the plant have only been appreciated in Germany for a few years. Due to the superfood trend, however, the small berries are increasingly coming into focus and have already won the epithet "health berry". Rightly so, we think, because chokeberry can positively influence the well-being of our body due to the active substances and ingredients it contains.
The berry can successfully contribute to strengthening the immune system and support the body's self-healing powers. Due to its anti-inflammatory effect, the berry can be used successfully for liver inflammation, inflammation of the gums, gastritis, inflammation of the joints, bladder and kidneys. Chokeberry can also be used for allergies, arthrosis, gallstones and scarlet fever.
