Seaweed baths have become increasingly popular over the last few years. This is largely due to people choosing safe and natural ways to optimise their health and wellbeing.
A seaweed bath is a totally pure and natural relaxing experience which helps dissolve any aches, pains and tensions you may have. As you soak in your seaweed bath essential oils are released from the mineral-rich seaweed and seawater. This will be absorbed into your skin and will leave you feeling and looking great.
The Seaweed Bath is considered to be very therapeutic mainly because of its very high mineral content. Some call these baths iodine baths, since some seaweeds have up to 20,000 times the concentration of iodine of the water in which they grow.It is because of this that Seaweed can provide relief from the painful symptoms of rheumatism and arthritis as well as having the ability to reduce tension and de-stress, improve circulation, relieve allergies and congestion, restore tone and vitality and help to cleanse and detoxify our bodies. Seaweed can give relief from all skin problems due to its high concentration of other minerals and vitamins (A, B, C and E).
The high concentration of iodine in seaweed also makes it responsible for the synthesis of thyroid gland hormones. Oxygen absorption of the cells and fat- and carbohydrate-metabolism is stimulated. (Caution with hyper thyroidism and iodine allergy.) Sea salt releases the toxic agents from tissue, improves the blood circulation and regulates the pH value of the tissue. Metabolic slag, harmful acids, urea and albumen are being discharged naturally - leaving the skin and body free to regenerate. Sea salt helps to strengthen the resistance of the skin, whilst maintaining the delicate water balance and additionally acts as an antiseptic.
In short its fabulous for your skin, hair, health and wellbeing as well as being a lot of fun.
