Seagreens® The Mineral Bath
Seaweed is a marine miracle plant which purifies and balances the ocean; it can do the same for your body.
The Mineral Bath contains nourishing seaweed, neatly packaged into bags which can be immersed in the bath to nurture the body with all its wonderful vitamins, minerals and trace elements. It softens and moisturises the skin, enhances relaxation, remineralises the skin and rejuvenates the body.
Benefits of The Mineral Bath
Seaweed baths are a gift from nature, creating a perfect body equilibrium, and they are an excellent way to absorb iodine, along with the infusion of high concentrations of vitamins A, B, C and E. Some advocates of seaweed baths claim the high Vitamin K content in seaweed can regulate the adrenal glands and therefore will slow the signs of aging, as it can help maintain hormone balance for a more youthful body.
Clinical tests have shown that because of these vitamins, minerals and trace elements seaweed can give relief from many skin problems such as psoriasis and acne. Along with relief from muscle strain, back ache, rheumatism and arthritis.
Seaweed baths can imbue high levels of antioxidants through the skin that might counter the cell damage done by free radicals, caused by environmental pollution and boost energy levels.
Soaking in The Mineral Bath can assist in the healing of surface wounds, firms the skin, improves skin tone and helps the skin retain moisture.
The Greeks used seaweed for its wonderful properties, so why don’t we?
The Ancient Greeks are reported to highly valued seaweed baths to promote health. Also they used it to treat everything from skin and liver complaints, cellulite, weight loss and to improve circulation. This belief is still upheld in Ireland where seaweed baths are very popular today.
Increased Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system cleanses and filters waste products from your body's cells and tissues, carrying these wastes to elimination organs such as the kidneys, liver and skin. The lymph system is a complex network of vessels, nodes, glands and tissues, which can over time get congested. Seaweed baths help to cleanse and rejuvenate the body. A weekly seaweed bath can stimulate lymph circulation and help return your lymphatic system to optimal performance, says holistic physician Linda Page in her book, Healthy Healing .
While soaking in a seaweed bath, your body can absorb the vitamins, minerals and trace elements directly into its bloodstream through the process of osmosis. These nutrients nourish the body and promote healing, facilitating in detoxification, whilst stimulating the metabolism and also boosts thyroid gland activity.
Weight Loss
The electromagnetic action of the seaweed on the body helps support detoxification and the elimination of excess fluid in body’s tissues. The release of toxins from congested cells encourages fatty wastes to dissolve and be excreted through the skin replacing them with the nourishing vitamins and minerals, particularly potassium and iodine.
Researchers say seaweed bathing promotes increased circulation of blood and lymph flow and has also been used as an anti-cellulite therapy. In turn the increase in the circulation will help the body to burn fat.
Noticeable rejuvenating effects occur when toxins are released from the body’s tissues. A hot seaweed bath is a natural relaxing experience with numerous therapeutic benefits due to its high mineral content.
