Digestive Health

There are many benefits that take place within the digestive system, which are often overlooked. When ingested, it accelerates the healing process of many digestive problems. Omega 7 is found throughout the body, and when ingested it provides the same reasons it is applied topically, by moisturising. This can be helpful for ulcers, which are an eroded area of the skin or mucous membrane. When irritated or inflames, it can lead to conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, colitis or acid reflux. The omega 7 found within sea buckthorn oil can help to prevent these, as well as rapidly heal damaged membranes.
