Why It Works!
Prior to the integration of the healing powers of the land, SeaEssence
undergoes an electromagnetic technology, which parallels the
electromagnetic fields and is then treated with the powerful
benefits of the soils of the Amish. This technology of the Future
combined with the attributes of the Land makes SeaEssence+ unique.
Kelp Extract: Kelp or Bladderwrack is native to North Atlantic shores and western Mediterranean seas. It contains polyphenols, polysaccharides and minerals especially a natural iodine (up to .1%). The polysaccharides are immune-stimulants and the iodine may stimulate the thyroid gland. The plant appears to raise the metabolic rate by increasing hormone production by the thyroid gland, though this increase may be limited to poorly functioning thyroids. Bladderwrack is reputedly helpful as an antigoiter remedy and in rheumatic conditions. Clinical trials have shown that patients taking bladderwrack lost much more weight than the control group and that the polyphenols and polysaccharides appeared to have antiviral and anti-HIV activity.
Cautions: If pregnant, do not rub SeaEssence+ on the breast area. If suffering from a thyroid illness, taking insulin, allergic to shellfish or iodine, use only under the professional advice of practitioner.
Wintergreen Oil: Native to North America, wintergreen is found in woodland and exposed mountainous areas. It contains phenols (including gaultherin and salicyclic acid), .08% volatile oil (up to 8% methyl salicylate), mucilage, resin and tannins. Native Americans used it for treating back pain, rheumatism, fever, headaches and sore throats. Wintergreen has strong anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and is an effective remedy for rheumatic and arthritic prob-lems. In an oil format it brings temporary relief to inflamed, swollen or sore muscles, ligaments and joints, and sometimes to treat cellutis, a bacterial infection causing skin to become inflamed.
Cautions: Oil of wintergreen should not be taken internally, nor should this cream be rubbed on the lips or tongue area.
Glucosamine Hydrochloride: Glucosamine is an essential substrate for the formaton of glycoaminoglycans and proteoglyccans, which are the main components of cartilage tissue. They provide lubrication and shock absorption by forming a dense fluid cushion within a joint.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): This is a natural source of organic sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are found in the extracellular matrix (the space between cells that engages in processes mediating cell-to-cell inter-actions) of connective tissue.
Linseed Oil: Flaxseed has been cultivated in the Middle East for at least 7,000 years and now also cultivated in Canada, United States, Argentina and northern Europe. It has been shown to have very high levels of essential fatty acids, similar to those most commonly found in fish oils, thus making it valuable in maintaining a healthy heart and circulation and in preventing chronic inflammatory diseases. Externally, the oil can be used in a poultice to soften the skin and in healing topical skin abrasions.
Lavender Oil: While native to France and the western Mediterranean, in 1620 it was brought to the New World as a medicinal herb by the Pilgrims. Research into the essential oil indicates it has a very low toxicity and has significant antiseptic and antibacterial actions, which helps heal burns, wounds and sores. It reduces pain, can be used on insect bites and to reduce inflammation. It tones the nervous system to encourage sleep and relieve i
