In China the hawthron fruit is not only a medicinal but also a treat, and sugared, dried berries are sold at festivals.
Early Chinese remedies used the fruit to treat scurvy, a very legitimate use given their high vitamin C content. The fruit might also be given to end labor pains after birth, and to help cure stomach problems like constipation. Later uses of the fruit in Asia come from the European and American use of hawthorn fruit.
