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.

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?
