Traditionally Seabuckthorn has been used to treat various sickness as reported in many articles which are summarised as below:- Gastrointestinal effect The anti inflammatory and anti ulcer properties of b-sitosterol-b-D-glucosides, usorlic acid and betaine in the Seabuckthorn promotes ulcer healing, prevent the spread and inhibit erosion and the b- carotene, vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acid stimulate cell metabolism at site and repair injuries. It has remarkable inhibiting effects on gastric acid and abnormal increase of gastric proteinase thus keeping the ulcer from spreading. It is traditionally used in the treatment of gastric ulcers. Reduction of Cholesterol and heart disease Seabuckthorn oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, namely, Omega, 6 Omega 3 Omega-7 which are found to be extremely beneficial in improving and protecting against cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. Studies have shown that it can lower the total serum cholesterol and LDL and raise HDL. The richness of Vitamin E which is a strong antioxidant found in Seabuckthorn oilm helps to prevent oxidation of high density cholesterol in the serum thus inhibiting and reducing cholesterol settlement along the blood vessel wall. Seabuckthorn oil helps to decrease the total cholesterol and triglycerides and increase HDL according to the research done [ Yang Cunshe ( hippohae, 1995, vol8. No.1 pp 33-35)] Cancer Scientists and researchers have found out that flavonoids such as coumarins, isocoumarins, furocoumarins, quassin together with serotonin and phenols coupled with vitamins A, C and E produce integrative anticancer effects. B-carotene, flavonoids, polyphenols, terpene, alkaloid and trace elements have anticancer property. Together they exert a concerted effect that is far more potent than just the sum total of their individual effects [ Xu Mingyu (hippohae vol.7 No.4 pp 41-43)]. Seabuckthorn oil stimulates the immune functions and activities of globulin C, increases antibodies and enhances phagocytosis of macrophage thus strengthening the body's resistance to cancerous mutations. If Seabuckthorn oil were to be administered to a patient before and after chemotherapy or radiation or operation, it is found that it can assist the patient to recover remarkably well and reduce the suffering. It also reduces the adverse effects of nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, body weakness and uremia which are associated with chemotherapy or radiation or operation and this may be due to the fact that Seabuckthorn oil provides the patient with a rich and comprehensive supply of nutrients, fatty acids and trace elements that help to improve the condition and resistance level of the patient. Seabuckthorn oil seems to have the effect of improving blood circulation and removing stasis and eliminating waste, promoting tissue growth and avoiding infections at the site of the operation. Seabuckthorn oil increases the self repairing ability of the traumatized organs and cells, promotes the functions of the spleen and bone marrow and blood generation, and protects the heart, spleen, liver, kidney against the damaging effect of radiation. Liver The liver can be damaged by alcohol, paracetamol and carbon tetrachloride and experiments have shown that Seabuckthorn can minimize the damage to the liver. Seabuckthorn has a preventive property in respect of fatty liver. This is due to the fact that it increases the metabolism of cholesterol and fat and thus extensively improves liver fat metabolism disorders which in turn may reduce the incidence of cancer and arteriosclerosis. A clinical trial demonstrated that Seabuckthorn oil helped to normalize liver enzymes, serum bile acids and immune system markers involved in liver inflammation and degeneration and it also protects the liver from damaging effects caused by toxic chemicals as was revealed in laboratory studies. Anti-ageing and skin care Sitosterol improves mirco- circulation in the skin, phosphatide forms a protective film to prevent moisture loss and in the process it delays the aging process. Seabuckthorn oil has a tremendous effect on skin regeneration and it is especially useful in treating various conditions requiring enhanced cell regeneration, for example, burns scalds or eczema like damage. It is also effectively used to combats wrinkles, dryness and other symptoms of malnourished or prematurely aging of skin. Seabuckthorn also has healing effects without leaving scars, thus if Seabuckthorn can do wonder to the horses then it should be able to do wonder to the skin of human beings too. Biological studies suggest that the restorative action of the Seabuckthorn oil may be in part due to its high content of essential fatty acids (EFA), carotenes, tocopherols and phytosterols, which are all important for the maintenance of a healthy skin. Gynecological disorders The common gynecological disorder of many women are menstruation pain, menopausal syndromes, anaemia, cervical erosion etc. Research from Finland at the University of Turku Central Hospital shows that Seabuckthorn oil may provide excellent relief for vaginal dryness associated with menopause. Immune system Because of its high levels of omega-3 fatty acid, Seabuckthorn oil coupled with the richness in vitamin C and E helps to strengthen the immune system in the body through its effect on membrane phospholipids and the production of eicosanoids and cytokines. Thus it is beneficial in treating disorders in which the immune response is hyper stimulated such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multi sclerosis and systemic lupus. The muco polysaccharides, oligocyanine, carotenoid, alkaloid and terpene will help to enhance the body immunity and good result have also been shown against anti inflammation, reduction of pain, renewal of damaged tissue without leaving any scars in treating scalds, burns, cuts, decubitus ulcer, proriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Elimination of Free radicals Seabuckthorn seed oil is a pure natural antioxidant store. Its rich content of flavonoids, glucosides, phenols, terpenes, vitamins E, A, C, b-carotene, and trace elements including iron, zinc, selenium, manganese, etc., are all antioxidants with very low molecular weight to neutralize free radicals. It is found that more than 80 diseases are related to free radicals, the most common ones include stroke, myocardial infarction, infant anaemia, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, tumors, cataract, radiation damage, burns, brown spots, wrinkles, aging, arthritis, lung disease, nephritis, hepatitis, etc.
