The hawthorn tree…more than just a shade tree growing in the northern hemisphere. The hawthorn tree’s medicinal status is spreading! 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 found to have favorable benefits for cardiovascular health and treatment of cardiovascular disorders via 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 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.

FLAVONOIDS IN CARE OF SPINAL CORD INJURY
Research arranged for a publication date of 2021 presents 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 such an abundance of flavonoids can reduce apoptosis (cell death) and utlilize neuroprotective effects to promote motor function in rats with spinal cord injury.
