Seaweeds concentrate the minerals and nutrients from the sea, making them wonderful for replenishing essential minerals and detoxing your body when used in the bath.
Brown seaweeds have been proven to repair damage to the skin's barrier, slow the aging process, promote faster healing , to flush out toxins and help control cellulite.
There are also numerous health benefits from soaking in a seaweed bath, including relief from arthritic pain, muscle and bone injuries, and circulation problems.
Thalassotherapy clinics have existed for hundreds of years enabling (rich) folk to bathe in seawater and use marine-based products to enhance their health and well-being.
. Now you can have your own home spa by throwing a handful of seaweed into running bathwater and
having a relaxing soak.
I have had psoriasis for many years, and to my great joy, have found that regular seaweed baths takes away the' fire ', reduces scaling and is more beneficial than anything I have tried before, including prescription creams.
The Wrack seaweed has been washed in the sea and dried in the sun.
There may be traces of authentic Cornish sand or the odd little shell.
