Once Alexander noticed: if you give the animals a decoction of the branches, leaves and fruits of the sea buckthorn, the horses recover their strength very quickly, and all their wounds heal quickly, and the wool shines again. Therefore, it is the Latin name for sea buckthorn that comes from two words: hippos - horse and phase - shine.
