    1. Hawthorn cannot be eaten on an empty stomach: Hawthorn contains a large amount of organic acids, fruit acid, hawthorn acid, citric acid, etc. When eaten on an empty stomach, it will cause a surge in gastric acid, cause adverse stimulation to the gastric mucosa, and make the stomach full and pantothenic acid. Eating on an empty stomach will enhance hunger and aggravate the original stomach pain. 2. Eat less raw hawthorn: The tannic acid contained in raw hawthorn combines with gastric acid to easily form gastrolith, which is difficult to digest. If beastles cannot be digested for a long time, they can cause gastric ulcers, gastric bleeding and even gastric perforation. Therefore, you should try to eat less raw hawthorn, especially people with weak gastrointestinal function should be more cautious. Doctors suggest that it is best to cook the hawthorn before eating it.
