Sea buckthorn has been noted as safe to use. Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or battling any disease should take extra precautions and consult a doctor prior to using in the diet or on the skin. It may be best to avoid altogether.
It has been known to slow blood clotting but also has been noted to increase bleeding and bruising in those with bleeding disorders. Since sea buckthorn is known to lower blood pressure, it may cause blood pressure to dip too low for anyone who already has low blood pressure. Because it may cause extra bleeding during surgery, it’s best to stop using about two weeks prior to any scheduled surgery. *
