A 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 lower
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Previously reported
to have promising 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) Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center creates
Paramus chiropractic treatment plans with incorporated
nutrition to address these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when appropriate. The Paramus chiropractic care is quite
focused 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 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, particularly
stapholococcus aureus (SA). It damaged the cell wall and membrane
of SA and stopped its enzyme activity, raised
reactive oxygen species, changed gene expression, and
triggered SA cell death. (3) Hawthorn’s methanol extract is powerful!
FLAVONOIDS IN CARE OF SPINAL CORD INJURY
Research arranged to
be published in 2021 presents the 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 this type of 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 in the
direction of possible human benefit and Paramus
back pain reduction.
