Siberian traditions of treatment with badger fat.
The ancestors of today's inhabitants of Siberia for many centuries observed, experimented, and learned secrets of nature. It was they who, through the cut and try method, bit by bit, collected knowledge about badger fat, about its amazing ability not only to alleviate but also to prevent and cure various diseases.
Long before the spread of technical progress in the taiga, Siberian healers not only knew how to accurately recognize any disease but also treat it correctly using badger fat and all kinds of remedies based on it.
For example, for burns with good results, the first Russian explorers of Siberia used badger fat melted in a furnace. This fat was impregnated with gauze and applied to the damaged skin. And in the case of frostbite of the extremities, they used intensive rubbing with interior badger fat. For the treatment of many diseases, traditional Russian medicine of the past has used a wide variety of recipes based on badger fat.

Tea made from pine cones is a real treasure of useful substances. This tea helps with vascular and heart diseases. It also helps to normalize the functioning of the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. In Russia, such tea was used to fight hangovers and binge drinking.

The inhabitants of Siberia have been using the fruits of sea buckthorn for a long time, harvesting them in the wild thickets. In folk medicine, the healing effect of sea buckthorn berries is known. They contain 4-5.8% sugars, 42-112 mg% vitamin C, 2-5% carotene.
In recent years, attention has especially increased to the healing sea buckthorn oil, which is used to treat burns, long-term non-healing wounds, stomach ulcers, gastritis, etc. Vitamin E and sea buckthorn oil contained in sea buckthorn berries prevent vascular sclerosis, muscle degeneration, and cholesterol deposition.
Why is the Siberian sea buckthorn considered the most useful? For what reason does it have unique healing properties that allow it to get rid of many ailments? Let's try to figure it out.
In the conditions of European and American winters (most often with a thick layer of snow), the resistance of this plant to sharp drops in temperature after prolonged thaws decreases.
Under the snow cover in the thawed soil, the "Siberian berry" wakes up ahead of time, spending the entire supply of nutrients for breathing, and suffocates from oxygen starvation, excess carbon dioxide. Often, the bark and cambium at the root collar and in the lower part of the trunk are vomited out.
Nature gave us small and tasty nuts, hinting that there should be a little good. The kernels of most types of nuts contain a large number of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, polyunsaturated fats, and proteins.
Of all types of nuts, pine (cedar) nuts have unique properties that are beneficial to humans. Since ancient times, people have known the healing powers of pine nuts and therefore they have been widely used in folk medicine. They treated diseases such as gastritis, chronic pancreatitis, stomach ulcers, etc.
You may have noticed that on the Internet and the pages of English textbooks, nuts from pine trees are often called differently - someone speaks of them as "Pine Nuts", and in some places, you can find the mention of "Cedar Nuts". In this article, we will try to understand the etymology of these two phrases, as well as understand whether these nuts differ from each other.
So, is there any linguistic factor in the difference between the names "Pine Nuts" and "Cedar Nuts"? Of course there is, the first term owes its origin to the Latin word “Pinus” (“pine tree”). Cedar Nuts are derived from the Greek word "kedros" - this is how the ancient Greeks called the cedar trees growing in Lebanon and Asia Minor.
However, when using the distinction between “Pine Nuts” and “Cedar Nuts”, the English speakers define the nut growing region. When talking about "Cedar", Europeans and Americans mean nuts harvested in the Siberian taiga. This type of nuts is very different from the usual English “Pine Nuts”.

Despite the great popularity of sea buckthorn oil, in recent years, massage therapists increasingly prefer a massage cream containing sea buckthorn as the main component.

The cream is more versatile and absorbs faster into the skin. Thanks to the synergy of premium oils (for example, Shea oil and sea buckthorn oil), vitamins and plant extracts, the massage cream on the skin transforms into luxurious light massage oil that provides long-lasting perfect glide during massage.
