Seaweed therapy

History

Seaweed therapy has been around for centuries. Also known as Thalassatherapy or Algae therapy, the amazing properties of seaweed have been used around the globe by humans for thousands of years.

Seaweed therapy is still very popular today in Europe and Asia. In Eire, Northern Ireland, Spain, France, Brittany, Greece and Japan, people go in their droves for seaweed therapy to gain the amazing healing and health benefits of seaweed to the body and mind.

Very popular with Arthritis, Osteo-arthritis and Rheumatoid sufferers, people with Eczema and Psoriasis, hard working manual labourers, gardeners, craftsmen and women, with stiff sore muscles and joints, will all benefit from seaweed.

For Insomnia and people with poor sleeping patterns, seaweed baths will help you sleep. The beauty benefits are amazing as the antioxidant, anti-aging and moisturising properties improve the skin. The results are positive and you will see and feel the difference.

The ancient Greeks used seaweed for many healing benefits and held seaweed therapy and the healing benefits of the ocean - with a combination of seaweed and sea water baths - in high regard.

Many types of seaweeds are edible. They contain more protein than meat, more calcium than milk and contain many important vitamins including anti-stress B vitamins, Vitamin K and important minerals. Seaweed is rich in magnesium and manganese.

Most amazing is that seaweed has the ability to remove radioactive strontium and other heavy metals from our bodies. Surely this must be of benefit to people who have had exposure to radiotherapy or chemical intervention.

Rich in iodine, seaweed will help balance the thyroid, and significantly, will act as an anti-inflammatory, reducing painful swollen joints. Seaweed is a natural anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, antioxidant and also contains antiseptic properties.

Seaweed is said to have anti-cancer properties, with research currently under way in Japan with a view to reducing tumours! Sea vegetables (i.e., seaweed) are beneficial to our health, our lifestyle and in our diet. The value of seaweed therapy in our lives should not be underestimated!

Therapist and founder of Karma Clinic - Jenna Robins

As a child I had a fascination with the ocean and everything that lived witnin it. My parents (Barbara & Ian Gaffey-Robins) were divers so the home was full of influences from the sea along with a sea tank to study marine life. Tom and Win Gaffey (my grandparents) used to keep kelp in the hallway of their home as a weather monitor. If the kelp became damp and soft it was going to rain! Gramps also told me about the anti-cancer properties in seaweed and how good seaweed is for your health! The Irish are very familiar with the health benefits of seaweed and so my seaweed fascination was born at a young age!

My aim is to bring the health benefits of seaweed therapy to clients in my clinic and to you in your home. Some Seaweed Centres and Clinics can be expensive. My seaweed kit is put together with pure seaweeds, all the equipment and instructions you need, to treat yourself, to be the therapist and client. Perform your own relaxing seaweed therapy experience in the comfort of your home. Bring seaweed into your life and feel the difference!
