What is Seaweed?
Seaweed is 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.
Seaweed 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 ocean 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, seaweed 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.
Something else too:
Bathing in Seaweed for Weight Loss & Cellulite Reduction
A hot seaweed bath is like sitting in a wet steam sauna, only better, because
seaweed balances body chemistry instead of dehydrating it.
The electromagnetic action of 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 cellulite skin regularly before the seaweed bath to remove
dead skin, open up the pores for improved elimination and increase circulation to
the affected area.
If you're from U.S. you can order the seaweed from a very good friend of mine -

Nancy,
Once again, we are in complete synchronicity!!
I have been using kelp on salads, sandwiches and snacks for years.
But, three weeks ago I started craving more sea vegetables. So I have been adding Wakame and Arame to my menu. I make raw sushi with zucchini andotherveggies. I just love it... can't get enough.
After viewing your clip, I will start adding kelp to my juice.
Many thanks for all that you do,
Paulette

Thank you for the background on Sea weed in your bath. I have recently begun to take sea weed baths and will up it to once a week. I can't wait to see the results. I have purchased bags of kelp from a store called Oceans here in Brampton. It costs very little and I get a full bath of 6 foot long kelp leaves. It smells of the ocean...... salty, and it feels quite wonderful lying along side the huge leaves. Afterwards I gather them into a large bowl and add them to my compost. I am wondering if I need to be shopping for specific types of kelp or if it is okay to continue with the one I found?

Thank you for seaweed wonders :) I like to take hot seaweed baths too. As for cellulite and weight loss I think baths can help but only in combination with a diet and exercise. There is no herb or plant that can help you to burn fat if you eat a lot and junk food. Cellulite is very embracing for women and we hate to see the dumps and dimples, the solution is healthy eating and become active, than add herbs and plants to get maximum results.

I wouldn‘t care success or failure, for I will only struggle ahead as long as I have been destined to the distance. I wouldn‘t care the difficulties around, for what I can leave on the earth is only their view of my back since I have been marching toward the horizontal.
