The hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree that
grows in the northern hemisphere. The hawthorn tree’s medicinal status
is spreading! Just as its shade is welcome when it’s hot, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to diminish
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 established it as
useful for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Chiropractic Solutions establishes
San Jose chiropractic treatment plans with incorporated
nutrition to tackle these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when proper. The San Jose chiropractic care is always
centered on what your body requires!
FLAVONOIDS IN HAWTHORN LEAVES’ EXTRACT
Hawthorn leaves’ antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes
are expanding its reputation as a well-known 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, 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 shares the powerful therapeutic
benefits of hawthorn leaves’ flavonoids for spine cord injury. Hawthorn leaves
were found to contain plenty of total flavonoid species and content. Research described
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 appealing step in the
direction of potential human benefit and San Jose
back pain decrease.
