Seaweed Wraps

Why Seaweed is So WonderfulEvery living cell is nourished by the passage of tiny particles called molecules through its skin, or outer membrane. This process is called osmosis. In the case of sea plants, minerals are drawn into seaweed in two distinct categories, Passive Transfer (minerals are drawn into the plant without any exchange of energy) and Active Transfer (minerals are aided in its passage through the seaweed's cell wall by energy from the plant itself). It is exactly in this manner that when sea plants are used as seaweed wraps, minerals and trace elements can penetrate the body and essential minerals can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the body's largest organ the skin.When You're Hot, You're Hot!The beneficial effects of seaweed wraps are increased by the use of temperature. In other words, we need to use warmth. Heat enhances the permeability of the epidermis by dilating peripheral blood vessels and pores, which increases the skin's ability to absorb such minerals and nutrients. To be effective, seaweed therapies should be from warm to hot depending on the specific treatment.Seaweed Wrap DetoxAs well as providing the skin with wonderfully beneficial nutrients and essential minerals for softening and clarifying, seaweed wraps also have a stimulating effect, which results in less puffiness and swelling, reduction of tissue sludge and toxins, and can actually produce weight loss.Makes You Feel Great!While the benefits outlined above are essential to your cellulite reduction strategy, seaweed wraps can actually make you feel good and promote relaxation, increasing your overall sense of wellbeing.
