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 it’s hot, the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant
properties of hawthorn extract are welcome to lower
bacteria, oxidation effects and more. Already 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) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic establishes
Montreal chiropractic treatment plans with incorporated
nutrition to tackle these issues and more with nutrients like
those from hawthorn when appropriate. The Montreal chiropractic care is always
centered on what your body needs!
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, 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 had
the strongest antibacterial level against bacteria, especially
stapholococcus aureus (SA). It damaged the cell wall and membrane
of SA and stopped its enzyme activity, raised
reactive oxygen species, transformed gene expression, and
triggered 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 have plenty of total flavonoid species and content. Research reported
that this kind of an abundance of
flavonoids can reduce apoptosis (cell death) and use
neuroprotective effects to foster motor function in
rats with spinal cord injury. (4) An appealing step toward potential human benefit and Montreal
back pain reduction.
