A hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree that
grows in the northern hemisphere. The hawthorn tree’s medicinal reputation
is growing! Just as its shade is welcome when the sun is
strong, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to lower
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Previously recorded
to have favorable benefits for cardiovascular health and
treatment of cardiovascular disorders due to its flavonoid content,
the hawthorn tree’s flavonoid content determined it to be
useful for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic establishes
Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plans with incorporated
nutrition to tackle these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when appropriate. The Fernandina Beach chiropractic care is very
focused on what your body needs!
FLAVONOIDS IN HAWTHORN LEAVES’ EXTRACT
Hawthorn leaves’ antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes
are expanding its reputation as a well-known herbal
medicine plant. Hawthorn’s total phenols, total flavonoid content, and
antioxidant activity tested well in a recent study, especially
for hyperoside, chlorogenic acid, and isoquercetin in hawthorn fruits. (2) Methanol
and ethanol extracts of hawthorn demonstrated high levels of total
flavonoids and polyphenols. The methanol extract of hawthorn showed
the strongest antibacterial level against bacteria, especially
stapholococcus aureus (SA). It harmed the cell wall and membrane
of SA and inhibited its enzyme activity, raised
reactive oxygen species, changed gene expression, and
provoked SA cell death. (3) Hawthorn’s methanol extract is powerful!
FLAVONOIDS IN CARE OF SPINAL CORD INJURY
Research arranged for a publication date of 2021 shares the powerful therapeutic
benefits of hawthorn leaves’ flavonoids for spine cord injury. Hawthorn leaves
were found to contain plenty of total flavonoid species and content. Research reported
that this kind of an abundance of
flavonoids can decrease apoptosis (cell death) and utlilize
neuroprotective effects to foster motor function in
rats with spinal cord injury. (4) An interesting step toward potential human benefit and Fernandina Beach
back pain reduction.
