Abstract
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L., Elagnaceae) is a deciduous shrub, or small tree (up to 10 m high), whose natural habitat is Southern Siberia (Altay region of Russia), Central Asia and Northern China. Sea buckthorn oil has been used for many centuries in traditional medicine of Tibet, Russia and Central Asia for ulcer treatment. Fruits, leaves and bark of the tree have been used medicinally as well. Beside of that, fruits have been valued for high nutritious and adaptogenic qualities.
