Gastritis is one of the intractable chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. A person suffering from this disease has been treated for it for years with the help of various pharmaceutical drugs and potions. The most effective medicine, which is recognized by both official and traditional medicine, is sea buckthorn oil.
The healing properties of sea buckthorn oil
The beneficial effect when taken orally is due to the wide biological activity of the active substances.
- It has a positive effect not only on the digestive system, but also on the body as a whole.
- The content of fatty acids (linoleic, oleic) promotes tissue healing. The peculiarity of acids is the formation of a resin-like film on the surface - linoxin.
- Anti-inflammatory effect.
- Slows down the secretion of gastric juice.
- Activation of the antioxidant mechanism is due to vitamin A, carotenoids, tocopherol and lycopene. Reduces the formation of free radicals. Vitamins A and E enter into a chemical bond and directly neutralize them, preventing damage to healthy cells.
- Contains vitamin P. Strengthens the walls of blood vessels and small capillaries.
- Kills bacteria. Proved to be effective against E. coli, staphylococcus, and salmonella.
- Strengthens the immune system.
- Cytoprotective. It has a positive effect on cell membranes due to its high vitamin E content.
- Has enveloping properties.
- Hemostatic effect due to vitamin K, which is necessary for the synthesis of certain proteins - blood clotting factors.
- Local anesthetic.
- A number of studies have proven that the components in the composition can prevent the development of cancer cells.
Sea buckthorn oil is used for diseases of the stomach and the entire gastrointestinal tract. It reduces irritation, normalizes the secretion of hydrochloric acid, improves digestive functions, and helps improve the performance of the pancreas. Thanks to its enveloping ability, it protects the mucous membrane of the digestive system, slows down the growth of pathogenic flora, and promotes the healing of erosions and ulcers.
Benefits of the product
The popularity of using sea buckthorn oil is due to the affordability of the product and its high effectiveness. Folk medicine performs a number of functions that have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract:
- restores the gastric mucosa, accelerates tissue regeneration;
- normalizes microflora, eliminating harmful bacteria;
- due to the presence of vitamins E, B and ascorbic acid, it prevents thrombosis from developing, improves the functioning of bone and connective tissue, participating in metabolism;
- increases efficiency and normalizes the condition of the digestive glands.
The medicine made from sea buckthorn berries, which has many beneficial properties, is often recommended by doctors to be taken as an additional therapy. They also prescribe the dosage and duration of administration. It is not recommended to use the product for gastritis on your own. Otherwise, there is an option to aggravate the inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which will bring many problems to the patient’s health.
How to choose oil
Not every oil can be considered beneficial. A high-quality product is made by cold pressing followed by filtration. When choosing, you should be extremely careful; on sale you can find both high-quality oil and a very low-quality product made from poor raw materials.
Requirements include:
- The carotenoid content must be at least 180 mg/%. The number means that one liter contains at least 1.8 grams of nutrients. This is the main parameter of the oil. If the quantity is not indicated, you should not buy; most likely, indicate low numbers.
- Use of specially selected varieties of sea buckthorn.
- Official certification.
Dilution with sunflower oil is allowed to reduce the concentration of active ingredients to standard.
If you prepare the oil yourself, it is difficult to ensure that the necessary requirements are met. At best, the content of useful components will be below normal.

Getting rid of childhood gastritis
Is it possible to cure gastritis in a child using medicine made from sea buckthorn berries? Use of the product is permitted no earlier than 12 years of age. Before use, you should consult a gastroenterologist and carefully examine your baby.

For gastritis
Recently, the disease of gastritis has become much younger; today even children are diagnosed with it. Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach, a disruption of the functioning of the entire organ. Accompanied by painful sensations in the epigastric region, discomfort and heartburn.
Sea buckthorn oil for gastritis is effective in treating all types of gastritis and any acidity. The healing effect is due to its good enveloping properties, which minimizes the contact of hydrochloric acid with the walls of the stomach, relieves pain, and promotes healing of the cell membrane.
For gastritis with high acidity, sea buckthorn oil can be very effective, but it is better to refrain from using berries and juice. This will provoke additional acid secretion, which will aggravate the condition!
For treatment, drink for at least one month; if the desired result is not achieved within this period, the treatment time is extended by the same amount. After the main course, six months later, you should take a prophylactic course for 10-14 days.
Options for drinking sea buckthorn oil for gastritis:
- If the stage of gastritis is not yet advanced, shortly before breakfast, take one teaspoon (5 ml), warm. If tolerance is good and there is no tendency to intestinal disorders, the dosage can be increased - 1 tablespoon (15 ml). The duration of therapy is 30 days; if required, it can be continued up to 45 days.
- For atrophic gastritis, as well as other complicated forms, it can be prescribed with milk. The oil is thoroughly mixed with one glass of warmed milk and drunk before breakfast on an empty stomach. The dosage ranges from one to three tablespoons (15-45 ml). Milk slightly alkalizes the acidic environment in the stomach, thereby reducing a number of symptoms, for example, it relieves pain well.
It should be noted that at the beginning of the course, sometimes there is a deterioration in the condition. Bitterness in the mouth and heartburn may appear, despite this, do not stop taking the drug; usually it is enough to reduce the amount taken.
If the taste seems unpleasant, you can dilute the required amount in warm, sugared water.
Useful properties of sea buckthorn
The fruit of sea buckthorn is a bright orange berry, spherical or more often elongated in shape. The berries are densely located on the branch, clinging to it (hence the Russian name for this plant). Sea buckthorn is perhaps the most useful plant on earth.

It also improves blood composition, reducing the risk of blood clots. The fruits of sea buckthorn are used for medicinal purposes in the form of juice, infusions and decoctions, syrups, and oils. Sea buckthorn is taken orally for diseases of the cardiovascular system, blood diseases, gastritis, peptic ulcers, and vitamin deficiencies.
Externally, sea buckthorn preparations in the form of oil and infusions are used for poorly healing ulcers and wounds, burns, skin diseases, in gynecological practice, for radiation damage to the skin and mucous membranes, and eye injuries. Compresses made from the leaves help with arthritis, reducing joint pain.

Sea buckthorn preparations are strictly prohibited for people suffering from urolithiasis.
For stomach and duodenal ulcers
Gastric ulcer, with its symptoms, is similar to acute gastritis, but complicated by the formation of local defects - ulcers and erosions. They cause pain, heartburn, sour belching, and also affect the digestion process. If treatment is not started in time, damage to the walls of the stomach, scarring, and bleeding may occur.
The therapeutic effect of use lies in the excellent composition of minerals, due to which damaged, eroded areas of the mucous membrane are restored and protected from irritation and acidic gastric juice. Pain sensations disappear, injuries gradually heal, heartburn and sour belching go away.
The use of the medicine in courses allows you to completely restore the functions of the mucous membrane and prevent complications. With long-term use, complete healing of erosive lesions and ulcers occurs.
How to take sea buckthorn oil for a stomach ulcer depends on how severe the disease is and how severe the damage to the mucous membrane is. It is used for prevention (in remission) and during exacerbation to relieve inflammation and pain. It is necessary to follow a strict diet recommended by your doctor, as well as other prescribed medications.
- Prevention is carried out in autumn and winter, drinking 5 ml in the morning, on an empty stomach, shortly before meals.
- In case of exacerbation, take for two months according to the following regimen: During the first, 5-10 ml once a day before meals. If sea buckthorn oil is tolerated normally, the second dose is increased to 15 ml three times a day. The last dose is left for the evening, an hour and a half after dinner. Six months after the end of treatment, the regimen is repeated to consolidate the result.
Treating an exacerbation of an ulcer with sea buckthorn oil alone is extremely contraindicated.

Homemade butter recipe
It is not necessary to buy the medicine; it can be prepared at home if the berries were picked in the garden. You can obtain pure oil in the following way:
- Ripe berries are dried in the oven at a temperature of 100 degrees, with the door slightly open.
- After 1 hour, the berries are removed and the juice is squeezed out - it is best to use an auger juicer, which does not heat the product and separates the nectar from the pulp as much as possible.
- Place the juice in a dark place for a day, and then skim off the released oil with a spoon.
The product can only be stored in dark glass - this way it will not lose its properties for a long time. In this way, the highest quality homemade sea buckthorn oil is obtained.
There is a method that involves using vegetable oil to fill the sea buckthorn cake. However, the benefits of such a product are relatively low, and they should not be used for treatment. The maximum that can be done with it is to prepare food in the absence of gastrointestinal diseases.
Making your own folk remedy from sea buckthorn oil
You can buy the finished product at the pharmacy, but it is better to make it yourself to be completely sure of its naturalness and that its use will be beneficial for the body. There are 2 options for preparing the product at home.
First:
- Rinse the ripe sea buckthorn berries under running water, place on a baking sheet and dry in the oven. The oven door must be slightly open during cooking. Dry at +100°C for 60 minutes.
- Squeeze the berries to release the juice. Collect it and pour it into a dark glass container.
- After a day, oil will appear on the surface of the container, which must be collected using a spoon or syringe. It must be poured into a separate container.
The advantage of this method is that the resulting product is of high quality. Disadvantage: the amount of liquid is minimal.
Second way:
- Rinse the berries and pass through a juicer.
- Dry the remaining cake in the oven until the berries harden. Instead of oven, you can put the berries in the sun to dry naturally. When choosing an oven, you need to set it to minimum power.
- Chop the dried berries, place in a bowl and pour in vegetable oil (any) so that it is 12 cm above the cake.
- Cover the bowl with ingredients with foil or a lid. Place the container in a dark place and shake daily.
- Leave for 10 days, after which the oil must be separated from the berry cake.
The advantage of this recipe is that the resulting amount of oil is sufficient for one course of treatment. Disadvantage: the product will not be as pure, and this may affect its healing properties and lead to their reduction. Treatment will have a slow effect or there will be no therapeutic response at all.
Side effects
In most cases, the occurrence of side symptoms is observed when the dosage regimen is incorrectly selected and the recommended dose is exceeded. They appear in the form:
- diarrhea;
- bitter taste in the mouth;
- headache;
- weaknesses;
- vomiting;
- heaviness in the area of the right hypochondrium;
- acute liver failure.
