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 the sun is
strong, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to reduce
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 determined it to be
useful for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Soft Health and Healing Clinic designs
Brooks chiropractic treatment plans with incorporated
nutrition to tackle these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when proper. The Brooks chiropractic care is very
centered on what your body needs!
FLAVONOIDS IN HAWTHORN LEAVES’ EXTRACT
Hawthorn leaves’ antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes
are expanding its reputation as a popular 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 damaged the cell wall and membrane
of SA and stopped its enzyme activity, raised
reactive oxygen species, transformed 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 reports on powerful therapeutic
benefits of hawthorn leaves’ flavonoids for spine cord injury. Hawthorn leaves
were tested and discovered to contain plenty of total flavonoid species and content. Research stated
that such plenty of
flavonoids can lessen apoptosis (cell death) and use
neuroprotective effects to stimulate motor function in
rats with spinal cord injury. (4) An appealing step toward possible human benefit and Brooks
back pain decline.
