Friends, hello to all.

It turns out that in our northern seas a unique algae grows that can provide us with a daily dose of iodine in one small piece and protect us from such a serious disease as hypothyroidism.

This miracle algae is called kelp, I suggest you consider it beneficial features and contraindications for use, learn how and in what cases to take it, learn how to prepare healing recipes from it and read reviews about kelp from practitioners and ordinary users. And I want to start this acquaintance with a story about what this algae is and how it looks.

Seaweed kelp - what is it

So, kelp, or sea ​​kale, is a long brown alga, consisting of a lamellar thallus freely floating in the water column and a sole, with which it is attached to the seabed. The length of the thallus, depending on the age of the plant, can vary from a few tens of centimeters to twenty meters. There are a lot of types of kelp, but the most famous and widely used are sugary kelp (I wrote about it in an article about) and finger kelp, it is they who are commonly called seaweed.

These two types of kelp grow in the White and Kara Seas, and what they look like is shown in the photo a little higher. As for the application, sea kale is widely used both as a food product, and as an adjuvant for the treatment of diseases associated with iodine deficiency, and as one of the components in face masks and body wraps for weight loss. On the shelves of pharmacies, kelp is most often presented in the form of tablets or powder, the price for it ranges from 126 to 186 rubles, and you can use seaweed for children, the elderly, and even women during pregnancy. Well, my friends, general information I have everything about kelp algae, I propose to proceed to the study of its beneficial properties, contraindications for use and other interesting details.

Laminaria - composition, useful medicinal properties and contraindications

To understand the beneficial properties and contraindications to the use of kelp algae, it is necessary, first of all, to study its composition. According to the information I gleaned from books on medicinal plants, sea kale contains:

• An extensive set of minerals - iodine, boron, bromine, vanadium, silicon, cobalt, arsenic, chlorine, strontium, magnesium, cadmium, sodium, lithium, iron, calcium, sulfur, copper, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, aluminum, manganese, nickel , rubidium, selenium, fluorine.
• Vitamins - B1, B2 (riboflavin), B3, B6, B9 (folic acid), B12, C, E, D, PP (nicotinic acid), K, beta-carotene.
• Organic substances - proteins, essential and non-essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids of the Omega class, saturated fatty acids, nitrogenous bases, phytosterols, polysaccharides, fiber.

And this algae is very hygroscopic, it absorbs, like a sponge, everything that flows through it, and first of all water. This is clearly indicated by the fact that 100 g of raw materials contain 81.58 g of water. But the highlight of kelp is one unique substance called Fucoxanthin. Its main functions are to give seaweed its brown color and, when it enters the body of mammals, increase the consumption of adipose tissue, turning it into thermal energy. By the way, Fucoxanthin is found in addition to kelp only in golden and diatom algae and nowhere else. As you can see, my dears, our heroine has a rich composition, now let's figure out how this is useful for us.

Laminaria - useful properties and indications

According to the statements of all the same herbalists, as well as phyto-therapists, brown kelp algae has three main properties, namely:

1. Laxative, which is due to the ability of seaweed to absorb any liquid and mucus-like substances. At the same time, algae particles increase in volume, irritating the intestinal mucosa, thereby forcing it to actively move and push out feces and accumulated toxins.
2. Hypolipidemic, that is, reducing the content of fat in the blood, which clearly has a beneficial effect on the whole body.
3. Thyroid, that is, saturating the body with iodine, by the way, iodine in kelp is presented in the form of organic compounds, which allows the body to absorb it as productively as possible.

However, the list of useful properties of seaweed does not end there, because there are a number of additional benefits that also need to be mentioned. Here is a list of these additional treatment manifestations:

• Vascular strengthening, in this case, iodine salts, which heal the thyroid gland, contribute to this effect. After all, when the thyroid gland is healthy, then the cardiovascular system will be normal.

• Blood-purifying, since kelp thalli have the ability to reduce and remove bad cholesterol, radionuclides and salts of heavy metals from the blood.

• Hypotensive, because pure blood + plaque-free vessels = normal blood pressure.

• Improving the work of the digestive tract. This is achieved, firstly, by getting rid of constipation and normalizing the stool, and secondly, as a result of the activation of metabolic processes and the sufficient formation of digestive juices and enzymes.

• Fat burning, which is facilitated by the substance Fucoxanthin, which converts body fat into thermal energy.

• It strengthens the immune system, which is facilitated by the normalization of the thyroid gland, and the purity of the vessels, and the saturation of the body with such a rich set of vitamins and mineral elements.

• Hormone-restoring, here we also have to thank the presence of a large amount of easily digestible iodine in kelp. After all, it heals the thyroid gland, the queen of the entire endocrine system.

• Wound healing, which is ensured by the presence in kelp of a large amount of alginic acid, a substance widely used in the treatment of skin diseases and rendering and other thermal options. By the way, this property of sea kale has found wide application in cosmetology as wraps and various masks for the face and the whole body.

• Improving visual acuity, such an effect on the visual apparatus is exerted by alpha and beta-carotenes found in seaweed, as well as iodine salts. The former nourish the retina with the necessary vitamins, while the latter ensure the normal connection of the optic nerves with the visual center in the brain and high-quality blood supply.

Dried and fresh kelp, and algae in the form of a powder or in tablets have all the listed properties with equal strength. Thanks to such an extensive therapeutic effect sea ​​kale is used as an auxiliary medicine in the treatment of many diseases, and according to numerous reviews of doctors, it works quite effectively. Here is a list of indications for the use of this brown medicine:

• Thyroid and steam diseases thyroid gland- hypothyroidism, endemic goiter, Graves' disease;
• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - atonic constipation, chronic colitis and enterocolitis, various gastritis and peptic ulcer;
• Failures and disturbances in the work of the sexual sphere - primarily in violation of the menstrual cycle, the presence of premenstrual syndrome, the initial development of mastopathy and menopausal restructuring, which is undoubtedly important for many women. And also with sexual weakness and various ailments with the prostate in men, especially if these ailments are associated with a lack of iodine or work in hazardous enterprises or in an area with increased radiation;
• Pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus;
• Diseases of large joints - arthritis and arthrosis, especially of the hip and knee joints;
• CCC diseases - first of all, it is hypertension, atherosclerosis and obliterating endarteritis;
• Various metabolic disorders - obesity, gout;
• Decreased visual acuity, especially if it is manifested by photophobia, and is associated with a lack of iodine in the body;
• Diseases of the skin and mucous membranes - paradentitis and paradanthosis, abrasions, cuts and burns.

As you can see, the healing power of kelp has a fairly wide range of applications, regardless of whether it is dry or fresh algae. I specifically looked in online pharmacies, what is its price, and was pleasantly surprised. A dry product from Evalar costs 160 rubles, and thalli from the Zdorovye company costs 140 rubles, both of which weigh 100 g. Agree that many medicines containing iodine cost much more, but will they help, still big and fat question. A little lower I will tell you how to take kelp in certain cases, and now I propose to deal with the list of contraindications to its use, because there are also those.

Laminaria - contraindications for use and side effects

Since sea kale is included in the ranks of natural medicines, in addition to useful medicinal properties There are contraindications and even side effects. I will say right away that there are very few of them, but it is necessary to know them and exclude them before you start taking this product, here is this modest list:

1. Individual intolerance to any of the constituent algae;
2. Nephritis and/or nephrosis;
3. Hemorrhagic diathesis;
4. Furunculosis or acne;
5. chronic pyoderma
6. Hyperthyroidism and multinodular goiter;
7. Manifestations of an acute abdomen, intestinal obstruction, appendicitis and other acute conditions of the abdominal organs;
8. Children's age up to 14 years;
9. With caution during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

As for the last point, for women in an interesting position and nursing mothers, the contraindication to the use of kelp is a moot point. Some doctors argue that in small quantities, up to 20 g per day, pregnant and lactating sea kale is possible, while others argue that it is impossible. In any case, ladies of the indicated category, before starting to include this algae in their diet, should seriously consult with a gynecologist leading the pregnancy, or a pediatrician observing the development of the baby. In general, I strongly recommend consulting at least with a local therapist before starting any application. medicinal plant even the most healthy and athletic people, and kelp is no exception.

Another topical question is whether there are contraindications for wrapping with kelp. It turns out there is. These include pustular skin lesions, furunculosis, acne, a period of exacerbation of any dermatitis and dermatosis, as well as individual intolerance and allergy to iodine salts. By the way, due to excessive passion for eating or external use of sea kale, side effects from an overdose of iodine. They are manifested by allergic reactions, urticaria, profuse salivation or lacrimation, a sudden runny nose, cough and an increase in general temperature. But do not be alarmed, this phenomenon is extremely rare and only with a very strong abuse of algae. For these phenomena to disappear, it is usually enough just to stop taking the algae, and in order to prevent trouble, it must be used correctly, let's figure out how.

How to take kelp in various cases

First of all, I want to say that seaweed on the shelves of pharmacies and health stores can be presented in several versions, namely:

• In the form of dried thalli;
• In the form of powder or granules;
• In tablets;
• In the form of dry sticks.

Thallus can be whole, folded several times, and cut into plates 10-15 cm long and 5-7 cm wide, and chopped into small pieces. It is convenient to use long thalli for wraps, sliced ​​\u200b\u200bplates for compresses, and chopped seaweed for adding to salads and other dishes. Compressed tablets, powder and granules are most often taken as an auxiliary medicine for various diseases associated with a lack of iodine in the body. And sticks, as it turned out, are used in gynecology to improve the opening of the cervical canal and the ripening of the cervix during weak labor. General recommendations for the dosage of taking kelp orally are as follows:

• In tablets - 1 tablet per day with meals, intended for adults and children over 14 years of age;
• Crushed thalli - 0.5-1 tsp. 1 time per day in the morning or evening with 1-2 glasses of water. A single use is suitable for getting rid of constipation, and for hypothyroidism and other thyroid diseases, the course of admission is 15-30 days;
• Powder - 1 tsp. Without a slide 1-2 times a day, either 30 minutes before a meal or 1 hour after it. Laminaria powder can be mixed with fucus powder in a ratio of 1 × 1 and taken 1 tsp. as well as kelp powder, you can add a teaspoon of honey to improve the taste and enhance the action of the beneficial components of both plants.

All of these options for using seaweed are good for eliminating constipation, and for cleansing the body of toxins and toxins, and for getting rid of extra pounds, and for treatment or prevention. various diseases. But I want to dwell on some more options and show you interesting recipes for body wraps, compresses, masks and baths.

How to take kelp for weight loss inside and in the form of wraps

Here we need exactly thallus - whole tapes for wrapping and crushed for ingestion. To wrap, do this:

1. We decide what kind of wrap we will do, cold or hot For a hot wrap, we place the algae tape for 20 minutes in water at a temperature of 45-60 degrees, for a cold wrap for 1 hour in water room temperature. To make a whole body wrap, 500-600 g of algae and 5 liters of water are enough. Water.
2. While our thalli swell, we take a salt bath or shower with a salt scrub to cleanse and open the skin pores. Ideally, you should go to the steam room, but this is not critical.
3. After the algae has swollen and the skin has been cleansed, we apply sea skin thalli to all problem areas, wrap them in cling film and wait about an hour. If a hot wrap is expected, then after applying the cling film, you should also wrap yourself in a blanket or terry sheet.
4. When 60 minutes have elapsed, we get rid of the film and algae, rinse the skin under running water without soap and apply anti-cellulite cream to the wrappings.

A similar wrap can be done with kelp powder. All steps are identical to those described, only the algae itself is prepared differently. The powder is introduced into water at a temperature of 45-60 degrees in a thin stream and, constantly stirring, stirring is continued for another 2-3 minutes after falling asleep. Then the mixture is left to swell for 15-20 minutes, after which it is applied to places with fatty deposits. To make a whole body wrap, you will need 150-160 kelp powder and 600-650 ml. water. The powder can be mixed in a ratio of 1 x 1 with cosmetic clay, preferably with blue or white, then the effect will be even brighter. To obtain a stable result, at least in the first, at least in the second way, it is necessary to carry out 10-15 procedures, doing them every other day.

Now with regards to the use of kelp for weight loss inside. We take 3 tbsp. l. Dry crushed thalli and fill them with 1-2 glasses of warm, 30-40 degrees, water and leave it overnight, and in the morning we eat this dish instead of breakfast. The course of such use of algae is 1 week, after which you should either take a week-long break, or reduce the amount of algae to 1 tsp. Per day and add them to first courses or salads. The effect will be even stronger if, in addition to body wraps and breakfasts with kelp, you establish a normal healthy eating and engage in active motor activity. For example, do exercises for the abdominal muscles, in my article there are examples of such exercises, or fall in love, the benefits and rules of which can be read by clicking on the link.

Laminaria face mask

As I said above, seaweed is an excellent skin healer. I offer you a couple of simple recipes for face masks from this algae. The first recipe is for dry and aging skin, and the second is for oily and acne-prone skin.

Option number 1

Pour 2-3 tbsp into some small container. dry crushed thalli of sea kale, fill them with water and leave to swell for one and a half to two hours. Then we drain the unabsorbed water, and lay out the revived algae in an even thin layer on gauze, 2 times larger than your face. We fill half of the gauze surface with algae, and cover the raw material with the second half, as if creating a flat bag. We place this kind of compress on the entire surface of the face, after closing our eyes, and hold it for 15-20 minutes. You can repeat this procedure every 2-3 days.

Option number 2

The initial principle is the same, but before packing in gauze, algae must be mixed with 1 tsp. Salts of medium grinding, you can use table salt, you can use sea salt, or you can use rose salt, whoever has what. We put the resulting compress on the face for 15-20 minutes, but do not just hold it, but massage the skin with light circular movements. So we get a scrubbing effect, as a result of which the fat content of the skin will decrease, small pimples will go away, and the pores will narrow. After the procedure, rinse your face with warm running water to remove excess salt. You can carry out such a scrub mask 2 times a week, this will be enough.

Compresses and baths with kelp for problematic skin and sore joints

These procedures are often offered by spa institutions, however, compresses, rubbing and baths with a decoction of kelp thalli can be perfectly taken at home. They are indicated for problematic skin prone to age spots or oily skin, for arthritis and polyarthritis of a rheumatoid and rheumatic nature, for gouty inflammation of the joints of the legs, as well as to strengthen the nervous system and increase resistance to stress and colds.

To conduct a bath, put 40 g of dry crushed thalli of sea kale in a thermos and fill them with 1 liter of hot, 60 degrees, water. We cork the thermos and leave it to infuse for 10-12 hours. After the specified time, we filter the infusion, squeeze the raw material thoroughly and, if necessary, bring the resulting volume to a full liter, adding a little ordinary boiled water or herbal decoction of any of the herbs available at home. The resulting broth is poured into a filled bath and immersed there for 15-20 minutes. The temperature of the bath taken should be no higher than 37 degrees, and the number of procedures should not be more than two per week.

For rubdowns, we prepare an infusion, as for baths. Then, having previously washed, we wet a soft sponge into the resulting infusion and carefully wipe the whole body with it. At the end of the procedure, wrap yourself in a terry sheet for 20 minutes. This procedure is good for various skin troubles and for general strengthening of the body.

To carry out compresses, you can go in two ways - either use a cut from the thallus, or make a gruel from algae powder. In the first case, a piece of the desired size is cut from the whole thallus and placed for 15-20 minutes in warm water to swell. Then it is taken out of the water, applied to the affected area, covered with cling film and bandaged so that the compress does not fall off. In the second case, kelp powder in the amount of 1-2 tbsp. l. Pour into warm water or a decoction of some medicinal plant, mix everything thoroughly and let the product swell. The result should be a slurry, which is applied to the affected area. This takze compress is covered with either gauze or cling film and fixed with a bandage. The duration of the procedure is 15-30 minutes. It is used for diseases of the joints, skin ailments and cellulite.

Seaweed sticks for obstetrics

I think that this option is used either where this algae grows, or in elite paid maternity hospitals at the request of women in labor. The essence of the matter lies in the fact that the doctor introduces dry sticks from kelp thalli into the cervical canal, which is weakly opening during the onset of labor. You can enter up to 16 sticks at the same time, and you need to keep them from 10 to 16 hours.

When absorbing mucus from the walls of the cervical canal, these sticks gradually swell and increase in size. This contributes to the soft expansion of the walls of the cervix and a smooth increase in its canal. Also, substances from thalli, penetrating into the mucous membrane, and then into the blood, stimulate labor pains. Thus, the stimulation of childbirth occurs more naturally, without chemistry and surgical intervention. To be honest, I came across such information quite recently, and it simply amazed me, you need to get this from simple algae.

Dinara, 06/11/2017

I heard a bunch of times that iodine is very necessary for the body, both for immunity, and for the thyroid gland, and for metabolic processes. I conducted an experiment like this, read it on the Internet) Spread three strips of iodine on my arm (thick, medium and thin) and see which one is absorbed in the morning, I have a thin and medium one completely absorbed! So I ran for an iodine-containing drug) I chose kelp, because in addition to replenishing iodine in the body, it also helps to remove all kinds of toxins. I have been drinking kelp for the third month now, just one tablet a day, you can drink it at least all the time, it will not be superfluous. I want to note that I have a regular chair, I used to have problems. And by the end of the first month of taking everything like clockwork) The skin became cleaner, maybe due to the fact that all sorts of toxins were removed) And in general I began to feel more energetic, a very necessary dietary supplement)

I knew about the beneficial properties of seaweed (kelp) for a long time and I know the importance of its use inside. But the smell and texture of fresh seaweed or pickled horrified me.

Having read once again on the Internet about the usefulness and importance of using kelp for the body, I bought it in a supermarket by weight in a pickled form. When I started eating it, the smell from which I was throwing up, I endured with the thought “not everything that is healthy is delicious!”, But when the sand began to crunch on my teeth, it was already too much! And I threw it in the trash.

But the fact that the body needs iodine, and that kelp is the best natural source of iodine, I knew for sure.

And in the pharmacy I saw this "miracle" Laminaria. Seaweed 100 tablets from CJSC "Evalar".

"HURRAH"! And I bought it right away. The price for 100 tablets was about 180 rubles.

The instructions say that 1 tablet provides the daily physiological need of the body for iodine. Thus, 100 tablets will last more than 3 months.

I have been taking this drug for almost a month, and I can name positive effects: less hair loss, skin color improved, stool normalized, nails strengthened. And also the general tone of the body increased, the autumn "drowsiness" disappeared.

Taking only one tablet per day of Laminaria from the company CJSC "Evalar", I am completely sure that my body is provided with a daily norm of iodine of natural origin, as well as other useful microelements and vitamins that are contained in seaweed!
