Why Seaweed?
Seaweeds were the first plants on earth and have been in existence for the last three and a half billion years. Their culinary usage can be traced back to three thousand years ago.
Sea water and the fluids in a healthy human body contain many of the same minerals in very similar concentrations. It is not surprising that sea vegetables have been treasured throughout centuries for their ability to restore, nourish and strengthen the body.
Detox
Seaweeds support and encourage the ongoing process of neutralizing and eliminating dietary and environmental toxins from the body.
Nourish
Seaweeds contain all the nutrients essential to health and emotional balance; historically, it has been a staple in the diet of the healthiest people in the world.
Balance
Seaweeds provide all that is required by the self-regulatory mechanisms involved in maintaining the body's optimum performance.
