Reviews
The use of various advertising tricks by manufacturers has little effect on the point of view about the benefits or harms of drugs. Reviews play a leading role in this matter. This could be the opinion of friends, acquaintances, relatives, as well as reviews on the Internet.
- Sea buckthorn oil is the best it can be! I have been taking it internally and using it externally for several years now! I forgot what stomach pain was, and recently, after I discovered a lack of hair oils, I realized that even expired sea buckthorn oil can bring considerable benefits!
- While saving my hair from falling out, I discovered this orange miracle! The best of all the oils that I had to use to treat my husband’s gastritis and ulcers. But it requires caution in use. You can only buy and use oil that has been tested according to all standards. If you don't want problems, go to the pharmacy! Or do it yourself. Do not rely on laudatory reviews of a dubious manufacturer. Health is more valuable!
The medicinal properties of sea buckthorn oil are used, if there are no contraindications, not only for treatment, but also for the prevention of diseases. Healing the stomach will also bring a general strengthening effect. Moreover, you will need a safe dose that is allowed even for pregnant and lactating women. Just half a teaspoon of sea buckthorn oil per hundred milliliters of warm water. Drink in one gulp. Two weeks of daily consumption of a glass of drink will provide excellent health and a significant surge of strength even in the cold season.
Effect of sea buckthorn on the digestive system
Due to the content of active substances, sea buckthorn oil has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive system. It is able to protect the gastric mucosa from the negative effects of digestive enzymes, in particular hydrochloric acid, by reducing its acidity. Sea buckthorn also removes harmful substances from the body. Stimulates the functioning of the pancreas and liver, has a choleretic effect. Thus, the enzymatic and evacuation abilities of the digestive system are activated. Eliminating food stagnation reduces the load on the intestinal tract and increases its efficiency.
In addition, the oil promotes tissue regeneration, which is important if the patient has ulcerative defects on the mucous membrane. The product is also effective in combating bacterial infection (H. pylori), which is a common cause of problems with the digestive system.
Berry oil
Making sea buckthorn oil at home
There are three ways to obtain Oleum Hippopheae at home.
Berry oil
Ripe berries are washed and the juice is squeezed out of them using a juicer. The resulting cake is laid out on a tray and dried naturally in the open air or in an oven heated to 60 degrees. The door remains open.
Next, the dried cake must be ground in a coffee grinder. You can use a blender, but a coffee grinder will do the job much more efficiently. Subsequent steps depend on the concentration of the product required.
Method 1. Low concentration oil. Useful properties are average.
The dried and ground pulp is poured with warm vegetable oil. It is better to take an unrefined product. The container is placed in a warm place, protected from light. The holding time is a week or seven days. Stir the mixture daily. Then the aged seven-day oil is filtered through several layers of gauze, poured into a glass container and stored in the refrigerator.
To increase the concentration of beneficial substances, the extraction procedure can be repeated several more times.
Method 2 . The beneficial properties are high. The ground dried pulp is divided into four portions. One portion is placed in an enamel container, filled with heated vegetable oil and covered with a lid. The oil should be heated to no more than 50 degrees. Place the container in a water bath. Simmer, maintaining the temperature of the mixture within 45 degrees. The simmering time ranges from 12 to 16 hours. Leave the container overnight, covered with a warm blanket.
In the morning, warm the mixture a little and filter using a bag made of thick nylon. The resulting product is poured into the next portion of pulp. The procedure is repeated again in the same order. And so on until all four portions are used. After completing the process, the finished oil is poured into a glass container and infused for a week in a place protected from light. The product is then drained to separate the sediment. And it is sent again to defend. You will have to repeat three more times.
Sea buckthorn seed oil
It differs from berry oil in color and smell. Useful properties are low. Can be used to treat children.
Method of receipt . Ripe, well-washed berries are dried in the oven at a temperature of 60 degrees. Dried fruits are crushed and filled with vegetable oil heated to 50 degrees. Olive, sunflower, sesame, rapeseed or refined corn oil is suitable. The mixture is mixed and infused for a week in a dark place. The contents of the container must be stirred daily with a wooden spoon or stick. After seven days, mix and filter the mixture. The resulting product contains up to 15 percent Oleum Hippopheae. The concentration can be increased by repeating the procedure. For it, the already obtained product and a new part of the dried sea buckthorn berries are taken.
Sea buckthorn juice oil
Prepare ripe berries in the same way as in the previous methods. Place in an enamel pan and crush with a wooden potato masher. Transfer the resulting mass into a gauze bag and squeeze out the juice. Pour the juice into a glass container with a wide neck. Leave in the refrigerator for several days. During this time, the liquid will separate into two layers. The upper, lighter and denser consistency is the main goal of the work. Collect oil from the surface carefully using a pipette or small teaspoon. Place the remaining juice back into the refrigerator to infuse. Repeat the procedure. Store pasteurized Oleum Hippopheae in a tightly closed container. This oil will last longer before it goes rancid and loses its beneficial properties.
How to use the drug for stomach ulcers?
This remedy gives good results in the treatment of stomach and duodenal ulcers, since it has a wound-healing and enveloping effect. It is used as part of general therapy aimed at eliminating ulcerative lesions. The product is less effective. As a single drug. But together with other medications it helps to achieve the most positive dynamics of anti-ulcer therapy. As an additional remedy, it helps reduce pain, get rid of heartburn and belching.
To relieve an attack of pain, it is recommended to drink 100 ml of oil. After 10-15 minutes the pain will begin to subside. Because the product will “lubricate” the ulcerative defect and inflamed mucous membrane.
For medicinal purposes, along with medications, drink sea buckthorn concentrate (1 tsp), diluted in a 2% soda solution (50 ml of water). Take it 3 times a day, on an empty stomach.
Contraindications
Despite the fact that sea buckthorn oil is a herbal medicine, if the recommended dosage is violated or there are contraindications to its use, a deterioration in general health and aggravation of the painful condition may occur.
- First of all, people suffering from:
- cholecystitis (inflammation of the pancreas) in the acute stage;
- pancreatitis at the acute stage;
- regular stomach upset and frequent diarrhea;
- allergic manifestations to individual components of sea buckthorn, especially carotene.
Since sea buckthorn oil has a pronounced cauterizing effect, when contacting it you need to be very careful and do not rub your eyes. The concentrated composition will be especially dangerous in this regard.
Traditional recipes for the treatment of stomach ulcers and nonspecific ulcerative colitis using an oily sea buckthorn product can indeed be an excellent addition to standard therapy, but in order to get the maximum benefit from the fruits, you should choose only high-quality, pure berries and adhere to all the recommendations prescribed in a specific recipe. This way you can protect yourself from unwanted side effects of sea buckthorn oil.
Other recommendations for use
Coma of gastroenterology, sea buckthorn is used in:
- gynecology;
- dermatology;
- ophthalmology;
- proctology;
- surgery.
It is also used to treat ENT infections (tonsillitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis), acute respiratory infections. The drug is used not only in medicine. It is also effective in cosmetology. It is used to prepare:
- face masks;
- sun lotion;
- massage oil;
- lip balm;
- body cream;
- hair balm.
Interesting fact! The high content of vitamin C improves the condition of the skin, nails and hair, and slows down the aging process.
When using oil in cosmetology, you need to adhere to the recommended dosages. Excessive external use of masks and lotions can provoke allergic skin rashes. And often the use of sea buckthorn-based sunscreen reduces the body's own defenses to resist ultraviolet radiation.
Where is it used?
Homemade remedy
Making sea buckthorn oil at home is quite difficult. This is a long and labor-intensive process, and it does not come out as pure as from a pharmacy. The berries of the plant contain only 5-10% of the total mass. First, they need to be crushed, the mixture is allowed to stand, and filtered through a special filter. This process is called refining. At home, you can only get “raw” oil, that is, cloudy, with an admixture of secondary substances (stearin, alcohol, wax).
Helpful information. The pharmaceutical product is cleaner because it is industrially purified.
There are several ways to prepare butter at home.
The highest quality medicine is prepared from fresh berries. To do this, a kilogram of fruit is passed through a press, squeezed, filtered and allowed to settle in a cool place. After some time, a film of oil forms on the surface, which needs to be drained. The finished product is stored in a dark glass container on the refrigerator door.
The product is also prepared from the cake obtained after squeezing. 100 g of cake is poured into half a liter of vegetable oil (not refined), left to infuse for a week, shaken periodically. After this, they are decanted, squeezed, poured into a container and stored in the refrigerator.
Sea buckthorn oil for nonspecific ulcerative colitis (UC)
If this problem exists, sea buckthorn oil is often used for rectal administration into the body, but in order to ensure greater effectiveness of treatment, it can also be used orally, adhering to the above scheme . As in the fight against stomach or duodenal ulcers, you should carefully calculate the dosage of the herbal preparation and not use it if there are any contraindications, especially in the case of children and pregnant women.
Enemas with sea buckthorn oil for ulcerative colitis
In order not to prepare oil at home, you can simply purchase microenemas at any pharmacy, the instructions for which indicate the dosage and method of treatment with a specific drug . For adult patients, it is recommended to administer 50 g of the substance into the rectum, and for children (up to 12 years of age) - no more than 25–35 g. For effective administration of the drug, it is worth using a catheter 25–30 cm long (if we are talking about an adult patient) or 10–15 cm (children's version).
It is best to perform enemas before bed, when you are not going to get up anytime soon. In case of exacerbation of UC, in the first course it is worth doing at least 30 enemas over the course of a month (in a row), without additional cleansing procedures.
The process of introducing oil into the rectum is based on the following steps:
- To begin, fill a syringe with 50 g of plant matter and place a rubber catheter with a round tip on the spout.
- Lubricate it with petroleum jelly, lie on your left side and insert the catheter into the rectum at least 20 cm.
- Gradually squeeze out the oil and carefully remove the device. Try to sleep on the same side so that the oily liquid remains in the intestines for as long as possible.
By enveloping the intestinal walls, sea buckthorn oil promotes faster healing of all ulcers that appear, restoring the affected surface.
Important! After using such an enema during the morning bowel movement, you may notice blood in the stool. Don’t be afraid: this is how the medicinal composition comes out.
Capsules
For those who do not want to drink sea buckthorn oil in its pure form, the product is available in capsules. After consumption, they dissolve in the stomach because they are made from gelatin. This method does not reduce the therapeutic effects of the drug, because when the capsule dissolves, the concentrate immediately enters the stomach. In addition, the drug drunk in this way does not cause a gag reflex.
To treat ulcers, you can take up to 1-6 capsules per day, dividing them equally into 3 doses. The course of therapy is two weeks.
Capsules
