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 the sun is
strong, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to lower
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Previously recorded
to have favorable benefits for cardiovascular health and
treatment of cardiovascular disorders due to 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) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office creates
Groton chiropractic treatment plans with incorporated
nutrition to address these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when appropriate. The Groton chiropractic care is very
centered on what your body requires!
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 showed high levels of total
flavonoids and polyphenols. The methanol extract of hawthorn showed
the strongest antibacterial level against bacteria, especially
stapholococcus aureus (SA). It damaged the cell wall and membrane
of SA and inhibited its enzyme activity, increased
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 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 have plenty of total flavonoid species and content. Research described
that this type of plenty of
flavonoids can reduce apoptosis (cell death) and use
neuroprotective effects to stimulate motor function in
rats with spinal cord injury. (4) An interesting step in the
direction of potential human benefit and Groton
back pain reduction.
