The hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree growing in the northern hemisphere. The hawthorn tree’s medicinal reputation
is growing! Just as its shade is welcome when it’s hot, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to diminish
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Already found
to have favorable benefits for cardiovascular health and
treatment of cardiovascular disorders via its flavonoid content,
the hawthorn tree’s flavonoid content established it as
valuable for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR establishes
Colorado Springs chiropractic treatment plans with integrated
nutrition to address these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when appropriate. The Colorado Springs chiropractic care is always
centered 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 showed 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 set for a publication date of 2021 shares the powerful therapeutic
benefits of hawthorn leaves’ flavonoids for spine cord injury. Hawthorn leaves
were found to have an
abundance of total flavonoid species and content. Research described
that this kind of plenty of
flavonoids can lessen apoptosis (cell death) and use
neuroprotective effects to promote motor function in
rats with spinal cord injury. (4) An appealing step toward possible human benefit and Colorado Springs
back pain decrease.
