Seaweed is a simple and yet fascinating plant that is a treasure chest of natural chemicals and beneficial ingredients. Seaweed draws from the sea an incomparable wealth of mineral elements, macro elements, vitamins (a,c, e, D,k, folic acid) and trace elements. The iodine–protein complexes which are prevalent in seaweed, are essential for the thyroid gland to regulate the body’s metabolism.

Natural benefits of seaweed include:

  • Naturally soothes & moisturises
  • Helps against the signs of ageing
  • Natural anti-cellulite properties
  • Improves suppleness and elasticity of skin
  • Traditionally used in the care and repair of the skin
  • Cleanses and purifies
  • Tones and stimulates the skin
  • Seaweed has been used as an effective treatment for conditions like psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and acne

 

The Benefits of a Seaweed Bath for Lymph Circulation
The lymphatic system washes and filters waste products from your body’s cells and tissues, carrying these wastes to elimination organs such as the kidneys, liver, and skin. Over time the lymph system, which is a complex network of vessels, nodes, glands, and tissues, can get congested. In thalassotherapy, nutrient-rich seawater is used to cleanse and rejuvenate the body. A weekly seaweed bath can stimulate lymph circulation and help return your lymphatic system to optimal performance.

Supports Endocrine System
Seawater contains many trace minerals that support the endocrine system.  While soaking in a seaweed bath, your body can absorb these nutrients directly into its bloodstream, which provides nourishment and promotes healing. Brown seaweed varieties have a high concentration of iodine, which facilitates detoxification, stimulates metabolism, and boosts thyroid gland activity. The high vitamin K content in seaweed boosts adrenal gland activity to balance stress and reproductive hormone levels.

Detoxifies and Decongests
Seaweed supports detoxification and the elimination of excess fluid in body tissues. Its electromagnetic action releases fluid from congested cells and dissolves fatty wastes. Seaweed bathing also stimulates lymph drainage and promotes weight loss. Other benefits to the body’s lymph system include boosting immunity, raising energy levels, and promoting stress relief. Seaweed bathing also enhances liver action and supports the optimal functioning of other elimination organs.

Promotes Circulation
Researchers say seaweed bathing promotes increased circulation of blood and lymph flow and has been used as an anti-cellulite remedy. Thalassotherapy also helps heal surface wounds, firms the skin, improves skin tone and helps the skin retain moisture. In addition to stimulating lymphatic flow throughout the body, incorporating a seaweed treatment into your facial care regimen will help the skin retain elasticity and smooth wrinkles.

 

To Use: Run a steaming hot bath. Keep the seaweed in the netted bag and add to the water to infuse for around 10 minutes. Adjust the temperature then hop in. Immerse yourself in the intense restorative properties of the minerals and nutrients as well as the hydrating seaweed oils. Rinse or not it's up to you. Store the seaweed bag in the fridge or freezer for 3/4 uses in total. Finally, add seaweed to your compost heap.
