SEAWEED IS AN EVERYDAY MIRACLE
By: Susun
S. Weed
Seaweed is an everyday miracle. The benefits of
including seaweed’s optimum nourishment into your daily diet are
extensive: increased longevity, enhanced immune functioning,
revitalization of the cardiovascular, endocrine, digestive, and nervous
systems, and relief from minor aches and pains. No wonder seaweed has
been part of the traditional diet of all coastal cultures, including the
people of Japan, Korea, China, Iceland, Denmark, Wales, Scotland,
Hawaii, and the South Pacific Islands, and all the people who had
trading contacts with the coastal cultures.
All seaweeds are high in fiber. Those in the brown family supply large
amounts of algin as well. Each seaweed contains a wide range of
essential nutrients, including enzymes, nucleic acids, amino acids,
minerals, trace elements, and A, B, C, D, E, and K vitamin complexes.
Seaweeds offer us zest for life and the perfect medium for electrical
nerve flow.
Benefits from a wise woman alliance with seaweed - glossier hair, more
luminous skin, less digestive distress, renewed energy and stamina,
rekindled sexual desires, and reawakened delight in life - will be
noticeable in about 13 weeks.
SEAWEED IS AN ALLY WITH LOTS OF HEART
Seaweed is an ally with lots of heart. Dancing, singing seaweed
strengthens circulation, balances blood pressure, lowers cholesterol,
builds healthy blood, increases the veins and hearts contractile force,
restores and increases cardiac efficiency, nourishes and prolongs the
life of the heart muscle, and encourages rhythmical working of the heart
in all its aspects: physical, emotional, and inspirational.
How can weeds with so much sodium (we all know salt raises blood
pressure) be good for the heart and even hypotensive - that is, capable
of lowering blood pressure?
DID YOU KNOW?
Sodium is not to blame for high blood pressure. Sodium chloride may be.
Table salt may be. But table salt contains sugar, aluminum salts, and
several other agents as well as sodium chloride. This is an unnatural
salt solution and one that creates cardiovascular stress. The naturally
occurring sodium in seaweeds (and garden weeds) bathes the inner being
with rich salty nourishment, like the amniotic fluid of our original
home. This sodium relieves tension in blood vessels made brittle by
immersion in the wrong saline solution, table salt. (Note that
commercial sea salt is usually as full of free flowing agents and other
addenda as commercial table salt. Real evaporated seawater salt is
pinkish in color. As usual, if it’s white, you can’t trust it.)
Seaweed is a wonderful green ally to use with other Wise Woman ways when
healing those with problems of the heart and circulation including
atherosclerosis, hypertension, chilly extremities, varicosities, heart
infections, repressed feelings, and self blame.
SEAWEED IS A WAY TO GET YOUR JUICES FLOWING
Daily use of seaweed provides optimum nourishment for the hormonal,
lymphatic, urinary, and nervous systems. The hormonal system uses
minerals and trace elements so richly available from seaweed to repair
tissue, build new cells, and create hormones responsible for regulating
blood pressure, metabolism, fertility, sexuality, and reaction to
allergens, to name but a few.
The lymphatic and immune systems are avid partakers of seaweed’s
splendid feast of nutrients. Combined with this optimum nourishment, the
communication enhancing effects of seaweed further enhance response time
and strength in the immune system. This reduces opportunist bacterial
and viral infections and helps prolong youth and vitality, not to
mention joy and ease in life.
The urinary system gets a special boost from seaweed’s seeming excess of
potassium and sodium. Those with cystitis, kidney weakness, gout
diabetic kidney ills, and bladder weakness find health / wholeness /
holiness with seaweed and Wise Woman Ways.
The nervous system relaxes in the presence of seaweed’s mineral
abundance. Seaweed creates an inner environment where nerve signals flow
more smoothly and where brain chemicals are produced as needed: to
maintain alertness, increase memory, reduce pain, and provide a sense of
buoyant bliss. (Envision the head sized floats of kelp bobbing on a
gently undulating sea.)
SEAWEED IS A GUT GREASER
Seaweed provides a multitude of gifts to the digestive system: soothing,
disinfecting, and nourishing distressed surfaces, helping out with the
metabolism of lipids, and maintaining a healthy balance of digestive
yeasts and bacteria in the intestines.
Seaweed is an exceptional ally to the wise woman healing those with
gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, ulcerated colon, colitis, constipation,
watery stools, and other intestinal ills, thanks to its bio-available
nourishment, high algin content, mucilaginous fiber, and rhythmical
resonation.
SEAWEED IS AN ALLY IN WOMEN’S MYSTERIES
Seaweed flows and shifts like the energy of a woman. Saline solutions of
ocean and uterus rock in rhythm. Pulses of tide, menstruation,
heartbeat, and fertility join seaweeds and wombs. Nourishing breast milk
merges with waves of green fronds.
Seaweed eaten daily is a powerful ally to a wise woman for, prevention
and healing herself or others with osteoporosis, breast cancer,
mastitis, uterine cancer, irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian cancer,
fibroids, ovarian cysts, infertility, fibro-cystic breast distress, and
pre-menstrual / menopausal problems such as water retention, emotional
freak-outs, chills and hot flashes, fatigue, lack of lubrication, loss
of calcium and general irritability.
SEAWEED IS A GREAT WAY TO STAY IN SHAPE
By providing optimum nourishment to the thyroid, helping to regulate
metabolism, and increasing the effectiveness of the digestive system,
seaweed helps you get in shape and stay that way.
