Natural remedies from around the world

From Tibet... for the heart

The orange berries of the sea buckthorn bush grow in the Himalayas, where generations have turned to them for medicinal and nutritional uses. They're rich in vitamin C, and high in omega-7 fats, which promote healthy mucous membranes. Full of antioxidants, they're also good for the heart.
