Kelp is a seaweed that contains an amazing amount of vitamins and minerals. The most important for this supplement though, is probably iodine. Iodine has a normalizing effect on the thyroid gland. If your metabolism is slow, iodine will help speed it up Of course the reverse is also true. Iodine also helps to burn food, so it is not stored as unwanted fat. As early as 1862, a Dr. c. Dupare successfully used kelp as an aid to treat obesity.

In 1750, an English physician, Dr. Bernard Russell, burned dried kelp and used it successfully as a treatment for goiter, a condition caused by a malfunctioning of the thyroid gland. This use again depends on the iodine content, which kelp contains in natural form.

Iodine is said to benefit the body in other ways. Besides promoting the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, it helps provide energy, endurance, and relieves nervous tension. Because iodine promotes circulation, particularly to the brain, it contributes to better nourishment and to dear thought.An undersupply of this mineral can result in slow mental reaction, weight gain, and lack of energy.

Some homeopathic physicians also use kelp for poor digestion, flatulence, and constipation. Kelp contains vitamin B2, niacin, choline, carotene, alginic acid, 23 other minerals, and about 13 amino acids. Marine plants are one of the more nutritious things we can eat because the nutrients are still so plentiful in the sea.

Today's Herbal Healer lists kelp as essential during pregnancy. This same book claims eczema, fingernails, complexion, obesity, colitis, and cleaning arteries as a few of the things this versatile seaweed is used for. The Health Handbook says a specific use is for preventing falling hair.

Seaweeds are used principally in human food, animal food, fertilizer, and nutxitioaal supplements. Agar-agar is used as a vegetarian gelatin.

Everyone would benefit from the habit of either taking tablets every day, using kelp powder as a salt substitute, or using the seaweed in salads. Kelp averages about 8 percent protein and 7.6 percent fibre. That represents 40 percent of recommended daily dietary fibre and 10 percent of protein requirements per ounce of kelp.
