Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Sea Buckthorn Oil has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in parts of Asia and Eastern Europe, for aiding convalescence—the recovery period following illness or injury. In traditional systems such as Tibetan and Chinese medicine, it has been valued for its purported ability to stimulate tissue regeneration, support immune function, and improve overall vitality during recovery. The oil is rich in vitamins (notably vitamin E and C), carotenoids, and omega fatty acids, which are believed to help restore strength and accelerate healing.

However, scientific evidence directly supporting Sea Buckthorn Oil's efficacy specifically for convalescence is limited. While some modern studies have shown its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties, these are mostly preclinical or small-scale human studies and do not focus specifically on post-illness recovery. Thus, the use of Sea Buckthorn Oil for convalescence is primarily justified by traditional rather than robust scientific evidence.
