Among the variety of natural fats, sea buckthorn oil stands out for its particular effectiveness in treating stomach ulcers. The healing properties of sea buckthorn were actively used in medical practice by Hippocrates. Vitaminized berries and leaves of the prickly plant, and the oil extracted from them for stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers have not lost their popularity to this day.
- Sea buckthorn oil coats the inner lining of the digestive organs, preventing unwanted contact of erosions with the acidic gastric mass. Thus, the damaged areas are protected from the destructive effects of acid. Soon the inflammation subsides, the lining is restored and the ulcer heals.
Damage to the duodenum is indicated by so-called "hunger pains". Sea buckthorn oil relieves such pains. To treat the disease, drink 1 teaspoon of the product three times a day before meals for a month. Sometimes the course is repeated after a month.
Sea buckthorn, unlike other berries, retains vitamin C both when frozen and in jam. Which makes it indispensable for strengthening the immune system during the cold season.
How to take sea buckthorn oil for stomach ulcers?
Sea buckthorn oil is taken on an empty stomach, to relieve acute pain - at least half a glass at once. The course of treatment with oil for stomach ulcers lasts 3-4 weeks. Dosage - 1 teaspoon three times a day before meals. At first, heartburn worsens, and the unpleasant sensations intensify, since sour belching is added to them. To prevent these phenomena, before taking sea buckthorn oil for stomach ulcers, soda solution is added to it and shaken.
The effect occurs after a few weeks: the pain decreases or disappears, as do the above-mentioned troubles. Then the frequency of administration is changed: 1 liter in the morning and 1 - an hour and a half after dinner. And so on for a whole month. It is important to simultaneously adhere to the diet prescribed by the doctor.
For preventive purposes, the oil is used only once, 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach. Sea buckthorn is used to prepare a medicinal balm. The recipe includes aloe, honey, 1% novocaine, and vinylin in equal proportions. After actively mixing the ingredients, the preparation is ready.
According to the instructions, the oil is allowed for use by children no younger than 12 years old. It happens that adult patients cannot drink any of the oils - in such cases, you should buy the drug in capsules that dissolve in the stomach, releasing the active substance. This way, you can avoid the unpleasant procedure of drinking, accompanied by vomiting.
Sea buckthorn berries covered in sugar are a unique multivitamin product. When candied in the cold, the berries retain their taste and benefits for a long time. In winter, they are used as an immunostimulant.
