The leaves are also used to makea tea.In a clinically controlled study, scientists looked at whether theleaves had any protective effects by testing a group of rats, some ofwhom were given the leaf extract before being administered with aliver damage agent, carbon tetrachloride (CCI4).Six groups were looked at in all - group 1 was given a daily dose ofsaline for 5 days; group 2 received saline for 4 days and on the 5thday was given CCI4; group 3 was given a daily dose of silymarin for 5days followed by a single dose of CCI4; groups 4, 5 and 6 were given50, 100 and 200mg of sea buckthorn leaf extract respectively for fivedays followed by a single dose of CCI4 on the 5th day.The results showed that the leaf extract appeared to confer aprotective mechanism on the liver - the rats given CCI4 minus the leafextract had sustained significant liver damage compared to the controlgroup that did not receive CCI4. In comparison, liver damage wasseverely restricted in the rats given leaf extract at 100mg and 200mgand CCI4.
