Sea Buckthorn Leaves

Botanical name: (Hippophae L.)

Also Known As: Sandthorn, sallowthorn, or seaberry

Sea Buckthorn is a small deciduous tree or shrub that grows into a thicket. It can reach a height of 20 feet. The leaves are dark green and shiny, and the plant produces black berries about the size and shape of a pea. Native to China and other parts of Asia as well as across Europe, buckthorn has been used for many centuries as an herbal medicine.

Internally: Sea Buckthorn is an herbal medicine to treat constipation or in circumstances where the stool needs to be softened, like hemorrhoids or during recovery from rectal surgery. It is a diuretic and was used as a blood purifier. Buckthorn is also used to treat gallstones and intestinal parasites. Some studies are underway to test this herb's efficacy in fighting cancer, especially leukemia. Early results look promising. Some people take it as a liver tonic.

Externally: Buckthorn is used in very small amounts for skin problems. Ointment can be applied to warts or itchy body parts.

Buckthorn has also been used to make veneer, wooden nails and shoe lasts. The charcoal from the buckthorn tree has been added to gunpowder. Bark will produce a yellow dye, while unripe berries make a green dye.
