In this post, I'm going to talk about one of my favorite subjects... seaweed! Although we're using to seeing it in our sushi, bobbing in the waves, or gently drifting in tide pools, for many of us it's still a stranger, so to speak.
Seaweeds cleanse and purify all the world's oceans, and they can do the same for your body. The same 56 trace elements that run through the oceans run through the human body. The chemical structure of seaweed, bathed in these nutrients, is remarkably similar to human blood plasma. I believe that when we eat seaweed, we are really tapping into the source of all life--the ocean.
As a rich source of balanced vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll, seaweeds help alkalize and purify the blood from the acid effects of the modern diet. They even help remove heavy metals and radioactive poisons trapped in the body.
Seaweeds are also one of Nature's most ancient beauty secrets. The Greeks said that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, rising out of the foaming sea, owed her supple skin, shiny hair, and sparkling eyes to the plants of the sea. Mineral salts in seaweed help the skin to hold moisture, so it becomes more supple and elastic.
Bathing in Seaweed for Weight Loss & Cellulite Reduction
A hot seaweed bath is like a wet steam sauna, only better, because the seaweeds balance body chemistry instead of dehydrating it. The electromagnetic action of the seaweed releases excess body fluids from congested cells, and dissolves fatty wastes through the skin, replacing them with minerals, especially potassium and iodine. Iodine in seaweed boosts thyroid activity, so food nutrients are used before they can turn into fatty deposits.
Taking a Hot Seaweed Bath once a week stimulates lymphatic drainage and fat burning so you can keep off excess weight, reduce cellulite and rid your body of toxins. For accelerated results, dry brush cellulitic skin regularly before the seaweed bath to remove dead skin, open up the pores for improved elimination and increase circulation to the affected area.

Seaweeds are powerful body cleansers and can truly transform your looks. Just 2 tbsp. of dried seaweed a day is a therapeutic dose. You can add them to soups, salads or on a sandwich or healthy pizza. Seaweed capsule formulas like my Ocean Minerals and Thyroid Meta Max are another great choice that I use regularly for health, weight loss and beautiful hair, skin and nails.
