KELP Benefits

By Monica Parsons

Help! Our bodies need a little help now and again since we face a lot of health challenges. Supplementing with vitamins, herbs and other substances can help provide the body with ammunition to fight disease and prevent disease from becoming a permanent, albeit unwelcome resident of our bodies. There's help yet! And what do you know, one source of help is from the sea. Do not fear, kelp is on its way!

Kelp is actually a brownish seaweed that goes by the name Laminar. It is packed with all kinds of beneficial substances that do wonders for our bodies. Do you know that kelp is an excellent source of vitamins B and C, as well as zinc, nitrogen, selenium, some essential fatty acids, protein, boron and bromine. Indeed, kelp is not called a "power herb" for nothing.

Its rich mineral and vitamin content provides healing wonders for the thyroid and pituitary glands, as well as problem areas such as the prostate glands and the kidney. Kelp is an effective cure for goiter, as it is all-natural and does not cause allergic reactions to those who take it. Kelp also helps to regulate the thyroid and prevent conditions such as swelling (especially of the lymph nodes, the thyroid itself and the testes) and edema. Some obesity problems can also be hormonal and can be traced to an overactive thyroid gland and kelp can also help to address these issues.

Kelp helps the body get rid of uric acid that may have been building up. Thus, it prevents inflammations and pain that result from rheumatism.

Kelp is also a mild laxative and can rid the body of toxins. The substances in kelp defuse the harmful effects of poisons and pollutants such as heavy metals, drugs and other chemicals that may damage the kidney. These toxins are summarily flushed out of the body, with the use of aligns. Algins bind the toxins and lead them out of the body as waste.

Yes, Kelp is a power herb from the sea! You can use it in place of salt or take it in the form of capsules and tablets. - 17273
