The Unique Benefits of Sea Berry

It is no secret that sea buckthorn, also known as sea berry, has many fans. Delicious, tangy, and nutrient-dense, sea berry is native to Europe and Asia. It grows along riverbanks, seashores, sandy dunes, and mountain slopes from sea level all the way up to 12,000 feet.

All parts of the plant have a long history of use in China and Russia where it has been harvested for centuries and, more recently, brought into commercial production. Due to its innumerable nutritious and medicinal qualities, it has even been featured in myths and legends.

Some stories speak of farmers letting their old decrepit horses out to roam the hills, thinking this far more humane than killing them. After a few days spent grazing on wild sea berry that grew naturally on the hillside, the horses would return to their owners and be mistaken for young, healthy colts with their newfound vigor.

Sea Berry Fruit Oil

Although derived from the same plant, sea berry comes in two different varieties, each with their own taste, smell, and nutritional makeup. The first of these is sea berry fruit oil. Sea berry fruit oil is made from the bright orange pulp of sea berry fruits. The oil is bright orange with a botanical, floral flavor.

Due to its high Omega-7 content, it is fantastic for fighting dryness throughout the body. Indeed, such high levels of Omega-7 ensure that sea buckthorn fruit oil can boost digestive health, cellular health, and mucous membranes in the body.

In short, it is a perfect supplement for anyone wishing to improve their overall health and wellness. Besides Omega-7, sea berry fruit oil provides Omega-6 and Omega-9. These fatty acids play a large part in preventing the oxidation of the oil, making it have a much longer shelf life than many other oils. 

Sea berry fruit oil is most commonly used topically to nourish and repair bodily tissue. Check out these simple sea berry recipes.

 

Sea Berry Seed Oil

The second variety of sea berry is seed oil. It is made from the tiny black seeds found inside of sea berry berries, which resemble the small seeds found in Kiwi fruit. Bright yellow in color, it has a nutty flavor. This means that it can be effectively used as an oral supplement or topical skincare treatment. Add it to homemade cosmetics and lotions, or apply it directly to your skin - you choose!

Sea berry seed oil packs a huge nutritional punch and has tremendous health benefits for the liver, cardiovascular and immune support. Little wonder it has been a traditional herbal health and beauty supplement for eons.More specifically, it is jam-packed with Omega-3.

This gives the oil a number of health and wellness applications, especially positive cardiovascular effects. Other benefits include supporting one’s immune system and encouraging a healthy inflammation response. Liver and heart health is boosted too! 

Another key ingredient is Omega-6. This essential fatty acid provides blood pressure support, alongside excellent help in tackling skin conditions and issues with brain function.

Finally, Omega-9, which sea berry is rich in, helps glucose and insulin levels stay in balance. And if this wasn't enough this video explains the amazing stem cell effects of consuming sea berry extract.

 

Sea Berry Fruit Oil Benefits

As alluded to above, the health and nutritional benefits of sea berry are endless. It truly is a superfood! But why so? Simple. Sea berry removes free radicals. These molecules can damage cells and  cause large chains of potentially harmful chemical reactions in your body. This has been scientifically proven in animals. 

In practice, people take sea berry to treat a wide variety of ailments and maintain their general health. It is used to treat stomach or intestinal problems, improve blood pressure or blood cholesterol, prevent or manage blood vessels or heart disease, complement cancer treatment, boost immunity and prevent infections, treat obesity, improve symptoms of cirrhosis, improve eyesight or dry eyes, treat respiratory problems, such as asthma, colds and pneumonia. Sea berry is also incredibly healthy for hair.

If that was not enough, sea berry can also be effectively used as a cosmetic product, and to combat a wealth of different skin problems. These include acne, dermatitis or dry skin, bedsores, burns or cuts, exanthemata (a skin rash found in children and young adults) and radiation damage.

And there’s more. In studies performed on animals, sea berry has demonstrated a promising ability to slow down the growth of tumors and ulcers. Although more studies are needed. Little wonder sea berry has featured in documentaries

 

Sea Berry for Eye Dryness

Today, there is a mounting body of evidence that sea berry is helpful in the fight against dry eyes and atopic dermatitis. This is because it is full of Omega 3, 6, 7 and 9 which help moisturize and soothe. For those of you who suffer from dry eye, our Dry Eye Comfort - a clinically proven dry eye support solution - offers the perfect antidote.

Here’s why. According to a study at the University of Turku in Finland, the intake of sea berry can positively affect the tear film osmolarity and dry eye symptoms. The mechanism behind this is related to the alleviation of the inflation that maintains and fortities dry eyes.

The inflammation is affected by the bio active compounds contained in oils from both the sea berry seeds and the soft portions of the berry.

Sea Berry for Feminine Dryness

Want to remedy your feminine dryness and rediscover your sex life? Well, sea berry can help you with that too. Vaginal dryness is caused by the thinning of mucous membranes which are a type of bodily tissue. Sea berry has been clinically proven to help conquer this thinning and rehydrate your mucous membranes. In effect, sea berry is a natural solution that can help you on your way to a combating the effects of aging and menopause.

Again the research behind this claim comes from the University of Turku. After finding out that 40% of postmenopausal women suffer from feminine dryness, they conducted a study on 116 post-menopausal women with vaginal dryness and found that after a daily dose of sea berry over 3 months, the symptoms of the participants taking sea berry improved.

Those randomly given placebos showed no improvement. The successful impact of sea berry on this type of dryness is due to its containment of fatty acids and carotenoids, as these have long been known to contribute to the normal functioning of mucous membranes.

Getting Sea Berry Naturally from Foods

However, please note that the amount of sea berry used in food is typically significantly less than that used for medicinal purposes.
