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 it’s hot, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to decrease
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Already reported
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
valuable for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Johnson Chiropractic establishes
Richmond chiropractic treatment plans with integrated
nutrition to tackle these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when appropriate. The Richmond chiropractic care is quite
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 new 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 inhibited 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 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 stated
that this kind of an abundance of
flavonoids can decrease 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 Richmond
back pain reduction.
