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 diminish
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
beneficial for more issues including spinal cord injury
and staph infection. (1,2) Malverne Health & Wellness designs

those from hawthorn when proper. The Malverne chiropractic care is always
centered on what your body needs!
FLAVONOIDS IN HAWTHORN LEAVES’ EXTRACT
Hawthorn leaves’ antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes
are growing 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, 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 harmed the cell wall and membrane
of SA and stopped its enzyme activity, increased
reactive oxygen species, changed gene expression, and
provoked 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 shares the powerful therapeutic
benefits of hawthorn leaves’ flavonoids for spine cord injury. Hawthorn leaves
were tested and discovered to contain plenty of total flavonoid species and content. Research described
that this type 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 toward possible human benefit and Malverne
back pain reduction.
