Three
teaspoons of delicious extra virgin pine nut oil daily is all
you need to heal your peptic ulcers or gastritis, boost your metabolism
and optimize your digestion and nutrient assimilation
For effective healing of gastritis, peptic
ulcers and other conditions related to an inflammation of the
gastroduodenal lining, it is recommended to take at least 5 ml
(one teaspoon) of extra virgin pine nut oil three times daily
30 to 60 minutes before a meal. For duodenal ulcers, it may be
advisable to increase the dosage to 10 ml or more. Some people
also find it useful to take an extra spoonful of pine nut oil
at bedtime.
Sometimes, you will see an improvement in a matter of days or
even hours after you begin taking pine nut oil. In other situations,
it may take longer. As with any other naturopathic remedy, it
is important to persevere and continue treatment until you see
results. After a stable improvement is achieved, the oil may be
discontinued, but it is still a good idea to take a teaspoon at
least once a day to avoid ulcer recurrence and protect the gastroduodenal
lining. It is also a great idea to make pine nut oil a regular
part of your diet by using it in your everyday meal
preparation.
If your goal is to optimize your metabolism,
improve digestion and control your food intake, the recommended
dosage of extra virgin pine nut oil is the same: 15 ml (three
teaspoons, or one tablespoon) daily. The best way of taking the
oil depends on your individual preferences. For example, you may
take one teaspoon of pine nut oil with a full glass of water or
fresh-squeezed juice three times daily 30 minutes before breakfast,
lunch, and dinner. The oil may also be taken twice a day: half
at breakfast, and the other half at lunch or dinner.
Experimentation and practical experience will be your best guides
in working out a daily pine nut oil regimen that would be most
effective for you. And it is also nice to know that, while working
to enhance your metabolism, improve digestion and achieve your
ideal weight, you will also be boosting your antioxidant status
and protecting your stomach lining from inflammation-related disorders.
Another great thing about extra virgin pine
nut oil is that, in addition to taking it straight by the teaspoon,
you can use it in a variety of delicious and healthy recipes ranging
from salad dressings and pastas to smoothies, cakes and homemade
nut butters. Extra virgin pine nut oil is not just a great healer
and metabolism enhancer, but also a gourmet culinary oil that
can be used in your kitchen in a variety of creative ways. For
example, you could use in baking and light sauteing, or as an
absolutely delightful dipping oil. If desired, it can be mixed
into olive oil or used instead of it on your salad or in any of
your favorite dishes that call for vegetable oil. We have a special
page on our site devoted to our very own favorite pine
nut oil recipes.
Sea Buckthorn Oil: the Ultimate Gift of Nature
Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae
Rhamnoides), also
known as Seaberry, Siberian pineapple, or Alpine Sandthorn berry,
is a deciduous tree or shrub naturally occurring over very large
territories in Europe and Asia. Most scientists think that it
originates from the Himalayan Mountains, where its natural hardiness
and vigor allow it to thrive on solid rock formations around crystal-clear
rivers fed from ancient glaciers, at elevations as high as 14,000
feet.
Sea Buckthorn is known in China, Russia and Europe as one of nature’s
most incredible medicinal plants. Its small, bright orange berries
have been cherished for centuries for their truly incredible healing,
nutritive, and therapeutic qualities. The richly colored oil produced
from Sea Buckthorn berries is so abundant in vitamins, antioxidants,
and other healing compounds that many believe that Sea Buckthorn
must have been created by some ancient plant-breeder. Sea Buckthorn
berries have no match in the plant kingdom for their content of
carotenoids (pro-vitamin A), tocopherols (vitamin E), phylloquinone
(vitamin K), as well as other vitally important healing and health-promoting
vitamins, fatty acids, and micro-elements.
Various healing and health-promoting active ingredients are contained
in virtually every part of the Sea Buckthorn plant, including
its seeds, leaves, and bark. However, the most potent concentrate
of biologically active compounds is the rich therapeutic oil contained
in the bright orange Sea Buckthorn berries.
Medicinal uses of Sea Buckthorn berry oil are well
documented in Asia and Europe. Clinical tests on its medicinal
uses were first initiated in Russia during the 1950s. Sea Buckthorn
oil was formally listed in the Pharmacopoeia in 1977,
and clinically tested in Russia and China on numerous occasions.
The most important pharmacological functions attributed to Sea
Buckthorn oil are anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, analgesic,
and regenerative. Based both on many centuries of traditional
use, and on modern scientific research and clinical studies, Sea
Buckthorn berry oil has been proven to be an amazingly effective
natural remedy for all health problems related to damaged mucous
membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, including the following
widespread conditions:
• Mouth ulcers (also called aphthae, or canker
sores)
• Sore throat and strep throat
• Esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) and Barrett’s esophagus
• Acid reflux (GERD)
• Recurrent, hard to treat peptic ulcers
• Ulcerative colitis (inflammation and ulceration of colon mucosa)
• Crohn’s disease
• Diverticulosis and diverticulitis
The unique therapeutic properties of Sea Buckthorn
oil are explained by its almost unbelievable abundance in health-promoting
bioactive components. The ripe berries of Sea Buckthorn contain
more than 190 varieties of bioactive substances, of which 106
occur in the berry (fruit) oil. This number includes six different
fat-soluble vitamins and vitamin-like substances, 22 fatty acids,
42 kinds of lipids and 36 kinds of flavonoids and phenols. In
addition to healing canker sores, esophagitis, GERD, colitis,
and other gastrointestinal inflammation- and ulceration-related
disorders, Sea Buckthorn oil is also used to treat burns, skin
lesions and other skin problems, including rosacea and eczema,
cervical erosions, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, etc.
Our richly colored, extra thick and ultra-fresh
Sea Buckthorn oil is produced from select, highest-grade Sea Buckthorn
berries grown in full conformity with USDA organic requirements
in a specially designed, eco-friendly Sea Buckthorn orchard. Our
Sea Buckthorn berries are picked at the peak of their biological
activity and cold-processed mechanically using our proprietary
technology without any chemical solvents, refined carrier oils,
or carbon dioxide: nothing added, nothing taken away. The resulting
oil is truly unmatched in its purity, potency, and overall quality.
Gold of pleasure (wild flax) oil combines
heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids with potent antioxidants
Another precious gem that we bring to you
from the treasure chest of traditional healing oils is called
Gold of pleasure oil, pressed
from the seeds of an ancient plant known as Camelina
Sativa, or wild flax. Just like regular flax, it is exceptionally
rich (up to 45%) in heart-healthy omega-3
fatty acids. However, unlike common flax (Linum Usitatissimum)
oil, it contains a unique combination of powerful
antioxidants, making it very stable and resistant to oxidation.
Yes, it's just as great for you as flax oil - only better!
Healthy omega-3 fats
are believed to help alleviate or cure a wide array of modern
diseases, especially those related to excessive blood clotting
(thrombosis), high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and chronic
inflammation. Often, combining an abundant supply of omega-3 fats
with natural antioxidants and balanced nutrition consisting of
traditional, whole, unprocessed foods that supply all of the essential
nutrients, fiber and friendly bacteria is considered to be the
best prescription for cardiovascular health. According to Udo
Erasmus, PhD, the author of a best-selling book "Fats that Heal,
Fats that Kill", "such a program could abolish cardiovascular
disease as the number one killer within a few years."7
Gold of pleasure oil is unique in its ability
to supply our body with both omega-3 fatty acids and potent antioxidants
In recent years, extensive research and numerous
clinical studies have confirmed that omega-3 fats are involved
in many vital physiological processes in our bodies. It has been
shown again and again that a deficit of omega-3s may cause or
aggravate many serious medical problems and conditions, including
thrombosis, atherosclerosis, hypertension and other cardiovascular
disorders. Gold of pleasure (wild flax) oil is a uniquely rich
source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) – the “parent” fatty acid
of the omega-3 family of health-promoting essential fats.
As noted above, the seed oil of Gold of pleasure
contains an exceptional amount (up to 45 per cent) of omega-3
fatty acids, as well as a unique antioxidant complex giving it
an additional important advantage as an anti-inflammatory supplement.
Combined with a delicious nutty flavor, this extraordinary blend
of beneficial omega-3 EFAs and high oxidative stability makes
Gold of pleasure oil an excellent, versatile overall source of
both omega-3 fats and powerful antioxidants, including tocopherols,
carotenoids, and phosphatides. At 110mg/100g, its vitamin E (tocopherol)
content is among the highest of all natural tocopherol sources.
As you probably know, there are other available sources of omega-3
fatty acids (fish oils and flaxseed oil are the most popular ones),
but none of them combines omega-3s with potent antioxidants such
as vitamin E. On the contrary, using fish oils or flaxseed oil
as omega-3 supplements may aggravate the overall free radical
overload leading to artery damage. Fish oils and flaxseed oil
go rancid very easily, especially when their natural antioxidants
are removed by refining or distillation.
Unlike fish oils and flax oil, Gold of pleasure oil is exceptionally
stable and resistant to oxidation. Not only does it not cause
the formation of artery-damaging free radicals, but it actually
protects the blood vessels from free radical damage by supplying
our body with powerful antioxidants such as vitamin E. Combined
with its abundance in omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), these
antioxidants make Gold of pleasure oil one of the most powerful
natural anti-inflammatory supplements available today.
