A hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree growing in the northern hemisphere. The hawthorn tree’s medicinal reputation
is spreading! Just as its shade is welcome when it’s hot, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to lower
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Previously recorded
to have promising benefits for cardiovascular health and
treatment of cardiovascular disorders due to its flavonoid content,
the hawthorn tree’s flavonoid content determined it to be
beneficial for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation establishes
Carrolltown chiropractic treatment plans with integrated
nutrition to address these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when proper. The Carrolltown chiropractic care is always
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 new study, particularly
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, particularly
stapholococcus aureus (SA). It harmed the cell wall and membrane
of SA and stopped 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 to
be published in 2021 shares the powerful therapeutic
benefits of hawthorn leaves’ flavonoids for spine cord injury. Hawthorn leaves
were found to have plenty of total flavonoid species and content. Research stated
that this type of plenty of
flavonoids can decrease apoptosis (cell death) and utlilize
neuroprotective effects to promote motor function in
rats with spinal cord injury. (4) An interesting step toward potential human benefit and Carrolltown
back pain reduction.
