Seaweeds are a rich source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E, pantothenic acid, folic acid and niacin. They also supply over 60 trace elements and 12 minerals including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and manganese.
They have been used since ancient times as a means for food and healing and in recent times have become a popular method used in spas, for the oxygenation, toning, revitalization of the body and firming of the skin.
If you wonder what a French Sea Spa is; it is a center of Thalassotherapy:
Defined, Thalasso Therapy means to immerse yourself in the therapeutic use of the ocean, its climate, the ocean air and even seaplants including marine products made of various algaes, seaweeds, and sea salts.
The name comes from the Greek words thalassa (“the sea”) and therap (“treat”). The principle behind Thalassotherapy is that repeated exposure to sea air and immersion in warm seawater or a bath made of sea mud, clays, and protein-rich algae or sea salts helps restore the body’s natural chemical balance. By rebalancing the bodies natural chemical levels you can begin to feel a sense of self renewal and the health benefits of curing chronic conditions like insomnia, physical pain, fatigue and even water retention. After a sea bath for example your body is prompted to release excess water weight while the body is replenished with vital trace minerals and skin nutrients replaced by the seawater and the absorption into the skin. Seawater and human plasma are very similar. When immersed in warm seawater the body absorbs the minerals it needs through the skin…

Just attended a weekend workshop at IYISF lead by Carrie Owerko, a NYC teacher. The theme of the weekend was Dynamic Alignment, we looked into and played with the many relations or relationships between body parts in movement to find a formula that brings optimal body functionality. In my case I found a true cohesion between parts that often feel stuck (= tight or formerly injured) and the more responding parts to bring a sense of inner and outer balance. It was fun!
