SEA BUCKTHORN

 

The Tibetan sea buckthorn is generally classified among the superfoods. This is not a fixed classification, but superfoods are generally understood as a nutritionally rich foods full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and nutrients of plant origin.

The name of this super berry comes from the ancient Greek word Hippophae, which means glittering horse. The ancient Greeks already discovered the beneficial effects of sea buckthorn, as horses grazing in areas with its high incidence were healthy, well built, and had shiny coats of hair.

Ayurvedic and Tibetan Medicine
The original sea buckthorn variety has been used in Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine for thousands of years and is often called the plant of the future. Sea buckthorn fruits have always been widely used in the Himalayan region, especially to support immunity, for proper digestion and to suppress feelings of fatigue and exhaustion.

Contemporary Medicine
Modern medicine increasingly uses this beneficial plant, as sea buckthorn supports the immune system.  In addition, regular use of sea buckthorn contributes to the normal function of the skin, cardiovascular system, digestive system and the prostate.

Sea buckthorn is widely used in cosmetics, where sea buckthorn oil, which is pressed either from the fruits or seeds of the sea buckthorn, is primarily used. A clinical study conducted at the University of Turku in Finland in 1999 found that sea buckthorn oil contributes to the good health of the skin and a healthy skin appearance within four months of its use as a dietary supplement. A Puredia case study in 2017 documented the effects of a two-week application of sea buckthorn oil on postoperative scars.
