Kelp has many uses and benefits
Kelp is a relatively common seaweed found in the U.S. and Europe. Its
other common name is Bladderwrack. 
We get our kelp from unpolluted seas which still produce clean, rich kelp beds which are free from man's influences.
Kelp is high in iodine, a key mineral that the body must have in order to produce thyroid hormones.
It is very popular in Japan and it forms part of the meal called sushi, which is usually fish or vegetables with rice, wrapped in kelp.
Thyroid disease is practically unknown in Japan but Japanese people who live in the West and consume little or no kelp have shown a steady rise in thyroid disorders.
However, even in Japan where they eat a lot of kelp, they take kelp supplements. In fact kelp is the number 1 health supplement in Japan.
Kelp is a very soothing plant and it is a nourishing tonic. It has successfully been used in the treatment of dry skin and cellulite. Studies have shown that regular use will assist joints and assist proper blood flow.
