SEABUCKTHORN
Also known as Hippophae Rhamnoides,
Seabuckthorn
has been used in Asia, Russia and Europe for over 1500 years...
These plants thrive in harsh mountain conditions and as such have been consumed in Mongolia, China and Tibet both as a nutrient dense treat, and for its medicinal properties. The bright orange berries of the Seabuckthorn plant, only 1/3 the size of a blueberry, are both tart and bitter to taste and packed with
antioxidants.
Seabuckthorn Is Rich In Vitamins & Omega's
A rich source of vitamins A, C, E and
beta carotene, as well as
carotenoids
and phenolics, such as catechins, gallocatechins and epigallocatechins.
Seabuckthorn oil
is also a source of
Omega 3, 6, and 9, as well as the lesser known
omega 7
fatty acids (40% of Seabuckthorn oil is omega 7 fatty acids), vital to
collagen
production. Palmetoleic acid, (Omega 7), is a common constituent of adipose tissue as well as a component of skin. It is considered a monounsaturated fat, thought to be high in antioxidants. Having an affinity for the skin, as well as an antioxidant component, it can provide some protection from sun damage, and when applied topically has been shown to increase triglyceride concentration in the lipid barrier of the skin, effectively increasing the protective nature of the stratum corneum. It is said to decrease as we age, potentially making both internal and topical use more important the older we get. It can be used for a variety of skin related issues, including eczema (atopic dermatitis), for the treatment of burns, ulcerations and infections and/or simply everyday use.
Omega 7
Due to the effects that Omega 7 fatty acid has on the stratum cornea of the skin, it have been reported to be beneficial in the prevention of fine lines and wrinkles, often called an anti-ageing agent. There is some research to suggest this fatty acid may have anti-bacterial properties, as well, explaining why individuals use it both internally and topically for the treatment of acne. Omega 7 oils also have an affinity for the mucous membranes of the body, particularly those lining the urogenital and digestive tracts. This is one way in which the juice of the Seabuckthorn berries are said to aid in the prevention and treatment of constipation. They keep the intestinal tract healthy by keeping it moist and mucous secreting, allowing for better absorption of nutrients and healthy flow of wastes.
What You Can Expect From Seabuckthorn:
Most of the research on Seabuckthorn to date has been shown to be inconclusive. That being said, with further support, there may be evidence to suggest a wide number of health benefits associated with its use:
- Skin irritations (such as burns and atopic dermatitis)
- Gastric ulcer
- Cardiovascular disease and various inflammatory conditions
- Liver health and protection/prevention of cirrhosis
- Weight loss
- Acne
- Wrinkles
- Free radical protection
- Eczema
- Common colds & even pneumonia!
Seabuckthorn has been suggested to benefit all of these conditions and more. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Seabuckthorn juice and oil is commonly used as an expectorant and demulcent for coughs. Recently, animal studies have suggested it also has adaptogenic properties. The oil is often used topically in creams and acne remedies, as it is known to calm acne, help soothe and restore skin, prevent wrinkles, and leave the skin moisturized and protected from free radical damage.
Seabuckthorn Forms & Dosages
Seabuckthorn can be purchased in the form of pure juice, seed and berry oils, capsules and creams. There is little information about specific dosing recommendations, although 500 mg/day of the juice has been recommended for constipation, as has 5 g of the fruit or seed oil/day for a variety of other health concerns. Seabuckthorn is not advised for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Also, for individuals taking anti-coagulant medications or supplements that can thin the blood (
ginkgo
biloba, garlic,
saw palmetto, etc.), speak to a healthcare professional before starting seabuckthorn oil or juice, as their may be additive effects. For the same reasons, do not use Seabuckthorn 2 weeks prior to surgery, in order to ensure adequate clotting time.
Speak to your healthcare professional before combining Seabuckthorn products (internal) with any immune modulating, cholesterol or blood glucose lowering medications. It may also interfere with medications that are broken down via the liver.
