Seaweed wraps are exceptionally beneficial as a quick way to remineralize the body and replenish it with nutrients and elements lost on a daily basis – such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iodine, protein, phosphorous, copper, vitamins and amino acids. The molecular formation of the human blood cell and that of seawter is similar, therby enabling nutrients from seawater to easily filter though the pores of the skin and directly into the bloostream. The most popular type of seaweed used for cosmetic and healing purposes is kelp – the common name for the large leafy brown algae that grows along colder coastlines. Although using fresh seaweed is certainly optimal, a seaweed powder mixed with enough water to create a mayonnaise like paste will render qually satisfying results.
