Currently, the buckwoman draws the attention of many research teams around the world, especially in North America, mainly for its nutritive and medicinal values. The vitamin C concentration of its fruits is much higher than that of orange, 25 times that of strawberry and 5 times that of kiwi. The vitamin E content of the archnut exceeds that of wheat, corn and soy bean. In Europe and Asia, preparations of sea buckthorn oil are used in hospitals for the treatment of burns, bed wounds and other skin complications. A dozen drugs have been designed from oils. In internal use, the sea buckthorn is used for the treatment and prevention of stomach ulcers and duodenum, blood hyperlipemia, eyes, gingivitis and cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and blood pressure and coronary diseases.

To know...

The importance of local purchase! Medicinal plants cultivated in Quebec are more expensive, but the quality is exceptional. Our herbalists make them dry whole (with some exceptions), in the rules of the art. The plants are cultivated here and do not have to travel (polluting transport) from a distance to your home. In addition, they are always freshly dried. Paying a little more to encourage our producers from here, it's worth the investment!

Consultations

When you take internal plants for specific health problems, we strongly advise you to consult a therapist herbalist to obtain a health assessment, personalized, safe and efficient treatment, then follow -up.

You can contact Marie-Christine Vallières, herbalist, at ecolelesamesfleurs@gmail.com To make an appointment for a private consultation in videoconference ($ 80).
