The hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree growing in the northern hemisphere. The hawthorn tree’s medicinal status
is growing! 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 reported
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
useful for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries designs

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, 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, particularly
stapholococcus aureus (SA). It harmed the cell wall and membrane
of SA and inhibited its enzyme activity, raised
reactive oxygen species, changed gene expression, and
triggered SA cell death. (3) Hawthorn’s methanol extract is potent!
FLAVONOIDS IN CARE OF SPINAL CORD INJURY
Research set for a publication date of 2021 presents the powerful therapeutic
benefits of hawthorn leaves’ flavonoids for spine cord injury. Hawthorn leaves
were tested and discovered to have an
abundance of total flavonoid species and content. Research reported
that this kind of plenty of
flavonoids can lessen apoptosis (cell death) and use
neuroprotective effects to foster motor function in
rats with spinal cord injury. (4) An interesting step in the
direction of possible human benefit and Manchester
back pain decrease.
