Hippophae rhamnoides, the common Sea Buckthorn Chair
Folk medicine and research:
>>
Sea buckthorn has been used for 2,000 years in traditional Chinese, Tibetan, and Indian medicine, and is also used in Russian and Western European folk medicine. The fruit is most often used. Research has centered on the fruit, though some studies on anticancer effects have used leaf extracts. Both animal studies and clinical studies have shown numerous pharmacological effects, including antimicrobial, antiulcerogenic, antioxidant, anticancer, radioprotective, and antiplatelet activities. Existing studies are of varied quality. Clinical evidence is needed of benefit in some claimed uses, such as renal support and prevention of urinary tract infections. Data on topical use of the fruit oils for wounds and atopic dermatitis is mixed, with evidence supporting its usefulness in the treatment of eye discomfort and burns. There is strong evidence of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of the fruits, with liver and cardiovascular protectant effects including reductions in C-reactive protein.[22][23] More high-quality clinical studies are needed to show whether and how the evidence for reduced cardiovascular risk factors translates to improved cardiovascular outcomes.[24] There is no evidence of toxicity; in one case, an individual consuming five times the traditionally recommended dose of the fruit daily for six months presented with a harmless orange discoloration of the skin due to the fruit's high levels of beta carotene.[23]<<
