Sea Buckthorn Oil Benefits For a Healthy Body and Mind

Sea buckthorn oil benefits

Sea buckthorn oil benefits are relatively new to Americans.  However, for centuries the sea buckthorn plant, of which the oil is derived, has been in use throughout Europe and Asia.  Within the last century Russia, China, and Mongolia have taken the lead in the research, production, and consuming of products containing this phenomenal oil. The Russians refer to the fruit from the sea buckthorn shrub as “Siberian pineapple” due to its juiciness and great taste.  Their astronauts have also used the oil as a protection from cosmic radiation as well as including it in their diet regimen. Also, Russian hospitals use the oil for medicinal purposes.

China has also been familiar with the use of sea buckthorn oil for centuries.  China has held several symposiums over the years to investigate the many uses and properties of sea buckthorn oil.  The Chinese have been so impressed by the use of sea buckthorn oil that it was an official sports drink for their Olympic team in Seoul.  China has at least 200 products containing sea buckthorn oil.   Both China and Russia take the lead in the number of production plants for this oil.  Processed products that include buckthorn oil can be found in such products as candy, biscuits, oils, ice cream, shampoos, and cosmetics.

Why has sea buckthorn oil, grown along the sea coasts, hills, islands of Asia and Europe, been so popular and in use throughout so many centuries right up to our day?  The answer is simple.

  1. As a Canadian who has recently discovered these berries. I can safely say that the more I learn/read about them, the more fascinating I think that they are. Rita, where did you hear/read about the anit-allergen and parasitic properties? I’ve been researching them, and this is the first I heard of that…but am interested in learning more. Please feel free to contact me directly as I’m very interested.

    1. Jason, you have a good question. Bascially, sea buckthorn oil has been found useful topically and internally in various forms against the demodex parasite (or at times referred to as “face mite”). All humans have some of the parasite. However, some people suffer from an abundance of these mites resulting in severe itching or certain skin disorders. Just follow up on the term demodex parasite and you will find some very interesting information. I hope this helps. Rita
