The hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree that
grows in the northern hemisphere. The hawthorn tree’s medicinal status
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 diminish
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Previously 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
beneficial for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center creates
Pensacola chiropractic treatment plans with integrated
nutrition to address these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when appropriate. The Pensacola chiropractic care is very
focused on what your body needs!
FLAVONOIDS IN HAWTHORN LEAVES’ EXTRACT
Hawthorn leaves’ antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes
are growing its reputation as a popular 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, particularly
stapholococcus aureus (SA). It harmed the cell wall and membrane
of SA and stopped its enzyme activity, increased
reactive oxygen species, changed gene expression, and
provoked SA cell death. (3) Hawthorn’s methanol extract is potent!
FLAVONOIDS IN CARE OF SPINAL CORD INJURY
Research set for a publication date of 2021 presents the powerful therapeutic
benefits of hawthorn leaves’ flavonoids for spine cord injury. Hawthorn leaves
were tested and discovered to have an
abundance of total flavonoid species and content. Research stated
that this kind of plenty of
flavonoids can decrease apoptosis (cell death) and use
neuroprotective effects to promote motor function in
rats with spinal cord injury. (4) An interesting step toward possible human benefit and Pensacola
back pain decrease.
