October 27, 2020

The hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree that grows 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. Previously 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 beneficial for more issues including spinal cord injury and staph infection.

FLAVONOIDS IN HAWTHORN LEAVES’ EXTRACT

Hawthorn leaves’ antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes are growing its reputation as a popular 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 demonstrated 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 triggered SA cell death.

FLAVONOIDS IN CARE OF SPINAL CORD INJURY

Research arranged for a publication date of 2021 reports on 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 reported that such an abundance of flavonoids can lessen apoptosis (cell death) and use neuroprotective effects to stimulate motor function in rats with spinal cord injury.
