Rating (out of 5): 2

Sea Buckthorn Oil has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in parts of Asia and Eastern Europe, to support cardiovascular health and address what is sometimes referred to as "heart weakness." In Tibetan and Mongolian medicine, Sea Buckthorn berries and oil have been used to promote circulation, reduce fatigue, and support overall vitality, which may be interpreted as benefits for heart function. However, these traditional uses are based largely on empirical knowledge and anecdotal evidence rather than controlled scientific studies.

Modern scientific research on Sea Buckthorn Oil for heart health is limited but does offer some rationale for its traditional use. The oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (including omega-3, -6, -7, and -9), phytosterols, and antioxidants such as vitamin E and carotenoids. Some small studies and animal experiments suggest that Sea Buckthorn Oil may help reduce blood lipid levels, improve endothelial function, and exert anti-inflammatory effects, all of which could theoretically benefit cardiovascular health. Nevertheless, robust clinical trials in humans specifically targeting "heart weakness" or heart failure are lacking, and the majority of current evidence remains preliminary.

In summary, the use of Sea Buckthorn Oil for heart weakness is primarily justified by tradition, with only modest and indirect scientific support at this time.
