HISTORY
Sea Buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is native from north-western Europe, through central Asia, as well as northern China. Sea Buckthorn has been used for centuries as a food and for its pharmaceutical properties. It was used in ancient Greece as a fodder for horses to promote weight gain as well as a shiny coat. In fact, the generic Latin name “Hippophae” translates to “shiny horse.”
