Seabuck Thorn Leaves (Hippophae Rhamnoides)

Were you aware that not only the berries but even the leaves can be made into a herbal tea with some exciting health benefits? Drinking tea from the leaves of the sea buckthorn, which is also known as seaberry leaves, can be particularly helpful in reducing excess weight, pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, or even improve one’s overall health by its consumption as it contains numerous antioxidants and antibacterial phytochemicals. The potent antioxidant properties in the sea buckthorn berry juice have been attributed to the many outstanding health benefits. A group of researchers in India discovered that the sea buckthorn leaf extracts had strong antioxidants properties when measured in conventional methods used to evaluate antioxidant’s potency in food and drinks. Food and beverages with high levels of antioxidants protect from diseases related to old age such as cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration of the eye, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. Beverages rich with antioxidants, such as sea buckthorn tea, make an excellent benefit to anti-aging diets because of the ability to get rid of free radicals, unstable oxygen molecules, which causes sagging skin and wrinkles.
