Outdoor hot tub

Even when it's cold or rainy I can get warm in my outdoor hot tub. It takes the pain out of my 75 year old body for the most part and I feel to some degree young again looking at the trees and sky in my back yard. Often birds and squirrels (because I live in a forest near the ocean) will visit me too. I learned about Hawthorn berries by watching a blue jay eat them one day from here in my Hot tub because a big hawthorn berry bush grows near my hot tub. However, I didn't realize anything ate them. Here is what I found out about them. I think you can get hawthorn berry capsules at places like Whole Foods markets all across the country or some health food stores. I think it might come in a powder form or also capsules made from the berries.

begin quote from:

 

Hawthorn is used to help protect against heart disease and help control high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Both animal and human studies suggest hawthorn increases coronary artery blood flow, improves circulation, and lowers blood pressure. It has also been used on the skin to treat boils and skin sores.
