If the purpose of use is treatment of bronchitis, asthma, sinus or throat infection or some other respiratory ailment, it should be used in the same manner, the difference being that the treatment should be applied over a period of 7 to 15 days.

If the purpose of use is relief of consequences wrought by radiation exposure, the oil should be ingested 2 to 3 times a day, 20 minutes before a meal. The correct dosage would be half a spoon of oil and the treatment should be applied over a period of three weeks.

If you wish to use sea buckthorn oil to strengthen your immunity, to get some stress relief or to renew and preserve DNA strands, you should ingest it twice a day, 20 minutes before a meal.
The treatment should be repeated monthly, 7 to 10 days a month. The correct dosage is one teaspoon of oil.

When considering topical use, the treatment methods also depend on the purpose.

If you wish to treat a serious skin problem or irritation, you should apply the oil locally, on the affected area of skin, and in generous amount. After application, wait 10 minutes so oil can take effect, then remove any leftover excess using cotton or a piece of soft cloth. A thin layer of oil should remain and be left for skin to absorb. Repeat this treatment every day until the problem is resolved. If the problem remains after three weeks, it’s time to try something else. If you wish to repeat the same treatment, you should let your skin recover between two sessions for four weeks.

If you wish to treat acne, pimples and lesser skin issues, then simply rub a thin layer of oil into the affected area once a day. Let the oil do its magic and don’t wash it off.

If you wish to treat wrinkles and aging spots, simply add sea buckthorn oil to the creme you’re currently using. The oil should take 5% of the overall mass.

When it comes to hair regeneration, just add ten or so drops of oil to your shampoo or regenerator.

When it comes to sun protection, simply rub the oil into your skin as if you would any other sun protection product.
