Sea Buckthorn: a complete health-kick in a capsule
Date: 28/11/08
It is said that Genghis Khan, the Mongol conqueror, who established one of the largest empires from China to Eastern Europe in the 13th century, relied on three treasures: well-organised armies, strict discipline and Sea buckthorn. Sea buckthorn berries and seed oil made Genghis Khan's soldiers stronger and much more agile than those of his enemies.
Indigenous to the mountainous regions of China and Russia, sea buckthorn has been shown to be rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, Beta-carotene and essential fatty acids as well as primary anti-oxidants and other nutrients.
Your one-stop supplement
Medicinal uses of Sea Buckthorn oil are well documented in Asia and Europe. Clinical tests on its medicinal uses were first initiated in Russia during the 1950s. The most important benefits attributed to Sea Buckthorn oil are anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, analgesic, and regenerative. Based on many centuries of traditional use, and on modern scientific research and clinical studies, Sea Buckthorn oil has been proven to be a remarkably effective natural remedy for health problems related to damaged mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, including the following widespread conditions:
** Mouth ulcers (aphthae, or canker sores)
** Sore throat and strep throat
** Oesophagitis (inflammation of the oesophagus) and Barrett’s oesophagus
** Acid reflux
** Treatment-resistant peptic ulcers and chronic erosive gastritis
** Ulcerative colitis (inflammation and ulceration of colon mucosa)
** Crohn’s disease
** Diverticulosis and diverticulitis
** Vaginal dryness
The outstanding health-promoting properties of Sea Buckthorn and its unique oil have earned it a well-deserved reputation of a powerful natural healer both in Asia and in Europe. In addition to being used as a treatment for healing burns and wounds, it has also become a very popular daily supplement believed to provide the following additional health benefits:
** protects cell membranes from the harmful effects of chemical contaminants
** reduces cholesterol
** normalises blood pressure and prevents arrhythmias
** acts as a powerful immune system booster
** improves the condition of hair and skin
** optimises the activity of the pancreas
** reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration There are several areas of research exploring even further medical and therapeutic uses for Sea Buckthorn, especially in instances where it can aid patients undergoing cancer therapy. Other therapeutic possibilities include:
** a long-term therapy for reduction of cardiovascular risk factors;
** internal and topical therapy for a variety of skin disorders
** a liver protective agent and a remedy for liver cirrhosis
Omega 7
With so much going for Sea Buckthorn it is surprising to know that it has not over-saturated the health-and-supplement market yet; which in my opinion is a very good thing, because it will ensure that what you get is the real thing...
The best form in which it is available is in capsule form as Omega 7. The oil extracted from sea buckthorn berries is a rich source of the essential polyunsaturated omega-7 fatty acids (PUFAs), palmitoleic acid and cis-vaccenic acid. Relatively few plant species are good sources of these essential PUFAs. In addition to the omega-7 PUFAs, sea buckthorn oil is a good source of omega-3, omega-6 type omega-9 type.
The daily recommendation is to take 2 capsules twice per day for the first 2 months and 1 capsule twice per day thereafter. Sources:
