You are absolutely right in mentioning the thorns of this plant. Because of the thorns, it is very difficult to pick berries from the tree, and the pricks from the thorns take a very long time to heal.

As for the extraction of sea buckthorn oil, you are right here too, in those days there were no devices for its extraction, I only remember that my grandmother placed sea buckthorn cake in an ordinary nylon stocking and hung it over a container where drops of oily liquid were gradually dripped.

It was a long process.

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment and support!

Have a blessed day!
