The hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree growing in the northern hemisphere. The hawthorn tree’s medicinal status
is spreading! Just as its shade is welcome when the sun is
strong, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to decrease
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Previously recorded
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
beneficial for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Moses Chiropractic creates
West Palm Beach chiropractic treatment plans with incorporated
nutrition to address these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when proper. The West Palm Beach 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 recent 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 had
the strongest antibacterial level against bacteria, particularly
stapholococcus aureus (SA). It damaged the cell wall and membrane
of SA and stopped its enzyme activity, increased
reactive oxygen species, transformed 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 have plenty of total flavonoid species and content. Research stated
that this type of an abundance 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 in the
direction of possible human benefit and West Palm Beach
back pain decline.
