Alleviate Vaginal Dryness and UTIs: Sea Buckthorn
Vaginal atrophy, a menopausal symptom affecting 1 in 3 women, involves the thinning and drying of the vaginal wall, often leading to UTIs. Sea Buckthorn, known for its antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, supports the body's mucosal function, providing protection against dryness and promoting healthy skin from within.
Studies suggest Sea Buckthorn could offer relief from vaginal atrophy symptoms, even serving as an alternative treatment for those unable to use oestrogen therapy.
The Gynecological Center of Turku, Finland, conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study on the effects of Sea Buckthorn Oil on vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women. Results show a significant improvement in the integrity of vaginal epithelium in the Sea Buckthorn Oil group.
Furthermore, Sea Buckthorn Oil's impact on Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease associated with dry mucous membranes, was investigated in a similar study. Participants reported significant improvement in genital mucous membrane symptoms.
