Seabuckthorn Fruit … Safety & Interactions
Sha Ji · Fructus Hippophae
Use with caution. Practitioner review recommended before use.
Contraindications
- Bleeding disorders or unsupervised use alongside anticoagulant therapy
- Marked acid-sensitive gastritis or peptic irritation aggravated by sour fruits
Cautions
- High-acid fruit preparations may aggravate reflux, gastritis, or ulcer discomfort in sensitive patients.
- Sea buckthorn food products, seed oil, and concentrated supplements are not equivalent to the dry medicinal fruit and can deliver very different exposures.
- Because the herb also moves blood, pregnancy use should remain practitioner-guided even though severe classical prohibition is not commonly emphasized.
