Sea buckthorn oil could not be purchased in pharmacies; prescriptions were written out on special forms. In pharmacies there was a queue by appointment and strict records were kept of consumption of sea buckthorn oil. Sea buckthorn oil was in real short supply!

Currently, the passion for sea buckthorn oil has subsided, but we cannot forget about this amazing healing remedy, because it truly has exceptional medicinal properties and works wonders.

Healing properties of sea buckthorn oil:

Sea buckthorn oil is rich in various vitamins. I have already talked about the high content of vitamin C and carotene (provitamin A), biologically active substances and glycerides of oleic, palmitic, and stearic fatty acids. But these substances are also found in other plants.

Sea buckthorn oil, in addition to B vitamins: B1, B2, Sun ( folic acid), also contains a particularly rare vitamin E, which enhances the activity of the endocrine glands. Vitamin E, together with linoleic acid contained in sea buckthorn oil (a component of vitamin F), activates and regulates metabolism in the human body and especially in the skin. This is one of the features noticed by the ancient Greeks. I also talked about this in the article: Sea buckthorn is a storehouse of biologically active substances.

So, the healing properties of sea buckthorn oil:

## Sea buckthorn oil has a regulating effect on the immune system; it is a natural immunomodulator.

## Sea buckthorn oil has excellent granulating, epithelializing and healing effects, so it is successfully used in official medicine.

## Sea buckthorn oil is a real storehouse of vitamins and biologically active substances; it helps restore the body during respiratory diseases, flu, and adds strength after surgical operations.

## It has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the entire digestive system, normalizing its activity.

## The oil has an antimicrobial effect.

## Stimulates the production of enzymes by the pancreas.

## And traditional medicine uses it to heal all superficial wounds and scratches on the skin.

How to make sea buckthorn oil? At home, sea buckthorn oil is obtained in two ways.

1. Make sea buckthorn oil from the pulp of the fruit.

It has been proven that the pulp of sea buckthorn fruits contains 8% red oil. Sea buckthorn berries must first be sorted, all leaves, twigs, debris removed and washed. Then, spread a clean towel and dry the fruits on it. Squeeze the juice from prepared clean berries using a juicer.

The squeezed berry juice is left to stand in a cold place for several hours. At the same time, a thick, dense layer of reddish color is formed on the surface - this is sea buckthorn oil of the fruit pulp. The carotene contained in the pulp gives it its color. The oil is carefully collected in a separate dark glass container. Sea buckthorn oil from the pulp of the fruit is considered by people to be of the highest quality.

2. Make sea buckthorn oil from the cake.

Sea buckthorn seeds contain yellow oil and slightly more of it, up to 12.5%. It is obtained from cake. The cake remaining from the juice extraction is dried and further crushed. You can grind it or grind it in a coffee grinder. Pour the cake with any refined oil heated to 30-40 degrees, in the ratio: 1 part cake: 2 parts oil. Infuse for several days in a dark place and squeeze out using ordinary pressing. This oil is lighter in color and is valued much lower. To enhance the properties of sea buckthorn oil obtained by the second method, you can put a new portion of cake into it and leave it again for several days.

This can be repeated 3 times. Sea buckthorn oil will be of higher concentration, its color will change, which means the healing properties will be stronger. Homemade sea buckthorn oil retains the pineapple aroma of sea buckthorn fruits.
