A staple in Ayurveda and Chinese herbal medicine for over a thousand years, sea buckthorn (aka seaberry) is sometimes referred to as a superfood or superfruit due to its concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Sea buckthorn is commonly used in herbal applications today to support the immune system as well as cardiovascular and overall health. This lovely blend includes dried sea buckthorn pulp and leaves ready for your next infusion, tea cup, or tea bath! In ancient Greece, young branches and leaves were used as horse feed resulting in healthy weight gain and a healthy shine to the horses' coats which led to the name Hippophae (shining horse). Did the horses mind? Nay.
