Why Seaweed?

Algotherapy is the use of seaweed or seaweed extracts in health or beauty treatments.   Seaweed can be used for both its anti aging properties or its ability to cause firmness of the skin. 

Our Seaweed body wrap contains 1 application.  Please make sure that you consume plenty of water both before and after your detox.  Detoxifying can sometimes cause a person to feel flu like systems the first time that they detox. Drinking plenty of water will help the body flush out the toxins faster.

 How does Seaweed cause cellulite reduction?

Seaweed is rich in compounds that are of specific use in the cosmetic industry, such as polygalactosides, fucose polymers and ursolic acid. Polygalactosides react with the protective outer surface of the skin and the Ion-ion interaction form a protective moisturizing complex, while the fucose polymers are hygroscopic and act as hydrating agents and the ursolic acid helps form a protective barrier on the skin. 

They contain abundant non-essential and essential amino acids such as proline, glycine and lycine - all of these, which are found in the elastic fibers of the skin as well. With this in mind, these ingredients alone would be helpful for the skin's elasticity by increasing hydration and thereby maintaining and improving the skin's elasticity.  Seaweed contains calcium, potassium, iodine, mannitol, as well as fat, protein, carbohydrates and vitamins E, C, B12, B6, B3, B, A and Zn, F, Cr, Co, Mn, I, Na, Fe, P, Mg, K, Ca which is why is so very nutritious as well good for the skin.

They are also fat free and low calorie. Sea water and human blood contain many of the same minerals so the sea algaes are very beneficial for human blood.

Sea vegetables contain high amounts of calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, iron, iodine and sodium. One-quarter cup of cooked hijiki contains over half the calcium found in a cup of milk and more iron than in an egg. They also contain vitamins A, B1, C and E as well as protein and carbohydrates.

Micro algae have been successful in improving immunity in people with cancer, AIDS, and diabetes. Spirulina is sold as a supplement and contains many disease fighting chemicals.

Chlorella is a blood tonic and cleanser. It is beneficial in cases of anemia and stimulates the regeneration of tissue and can even slow and stop the growth of some tumors. It also may prevent degenerative diseases and may even slow down the aging process. Chitosan can be used instead of chlorella as chlorella can lead to an upset stomach.

Kelp contains sixty minerals and twenty-one amino acids. It is good for glandular health and is full of iodine. It is also good for balancing out humans and animals systems.
