Homemade sea buckthorn oil - how to make sea buckthorn oil at home.

The main thing is to know how. This homemade recipe is quite labor intensive, but the effort is worth it.

How to make sea buckthorn oil at home.

We take very ripe, washed and dried sea buckthorn fruits.

We squeeze out the juice, which can be preserved or drunk by diluting it with water and adding sugar, and dry what is left - the cake. As you can see, we get double the benefits from one serving of berries.

You can dry it on a radiator, in an oven at the lowest temperature, or in another warm place where the temperature is about 60 degrees.

Grind the dried raw materials in a coffee grinder, meat grinder or blender.

Heat the vegetable oil to 60 degrees. You can take any oil: sunflower, corn, but the best is olive.

Pour warm oil over the sea buckthorn pomace and set aside, stirring from time to time. Mix with a wooden spoon. If you don’t have one like this in your household, then take a stainless steel spoon.

Proportion of cake: oil - 1:5.

After a day, filter the cake. What remains is our sea buckthorn oil.

Some recipes believe that you can stop there.

But we make the oil more concentrated. To do this, we perform the above procedure several more times, but we use the oil that has been infused. The number of times depends on the amount of cake you have.

Sea buckthorn oil infused 4-5 times already has all the healing properties necessary for use.

Now you know how to make sea buckthorn oil at home. All that remains is to distribute it into bottles, seal them and store them. Like any other, our homemade oil will be best stored in dark glass bottles and, preferably, in a dark place. After all, any oil oxidizes in the light and quickly becomes unusable. Storage temperature is not critical.

How to use sea buckthorn oil is up to everyone to decide for themselves. You can use it for both health and cosmetic purposes. Skin and hair, nails, and the general condition of the body react actively and positively to its use. But, as always, it is important to know what your body does not react to very well. Do not use the oil if it is contraindicated for you or if you are allergic to sea buckthorn oil.
