Seaweed Baths:
Seaweed baths are Nature’s perfect body/psyche balancer. Remember how good you feel after
an ocean walk? Seaweeds purify and balance the ocean — they can do the same for your
body. A hot seaweed bath is like a wet-steam sauna, only better, because the sea greens
balance body chemistry instead of dehydrating it. The electro-magnetic action of the seaweed
releases excess body fluids from congested cells, and dissolves fatty wastes through the skin,
replacing them with minerals, especially potassium and iodine. Iodine boosts thyroid activity, so
food fuels are used before they can turn into fatty deposits. The vitamin K in seaweeds boosts
adrenal activity, meaning that a seaweed bath can help maintain hormone balance for a more
youthful body.
What is Thalassotherapy?
Thalassotherapy is an ageless, cleansing, health-restorative technique. Thalassa is the
ancient Greek word for sea, and the Greeks did indeed use the sea for their well-being.
Judging by the therapeutic centers still known to us, much of the population of the ancient
world soaked in sea water tubs and hot seaweed baths, drank and inhaled sea water for
health, got sea water massages, had seaweed facials and used sea water pools for
hydrotherapy and detoxification. Today, we are learning once again, about the ability of the
sea to reduce tension and de-stress us, detoxify our bodies, improve circulation, relieve
allergies and congestion, and ease arthritis symptoms.

- dry brushing the body before bathing is recommended, as it will enhance the benefits of the seaweed
soak - place seaweeds in tub and run very hot water over them
- fill tub so that you will be covered when you recline
- add aromatherapy oil if desired, to help hold in heat and boost your detox program
- get into bathtub when the temperature feels right to you
- gel from the seaweed will begin to coat your skin
- rub your skin with the seaweed to enhance gel action, stimulate circulation and remove released
wastes - when the gel coating dissolves and floats off your skin and the seaweeds shrivel, your bath is
complete - you’ll notice better skin tone, color, and circulation almost immediately
- after your bath, take a cayenne-ginger capsule to boost assimilation of the seaweed minerals
