A gold mine, see all those dark spots in the water, yes that's seaweed!

This great hunk of seaweed was right on the beach, ripe for the taking.

Did I mention it also helps with joint pain, arthitis and aching bones?

It is rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are absorbed into your skin while having the seaweed wrap. It is also suppose to be wonderful on dry skin. I have read it can help to increase your metabolism. This just sounds wonderful, like a miracle cure? Now, I am just so sorry I didn't walk along the beach and pick up every piece of seaweed I saw and bring it home with me. I do think you have to be able to put up with the strong marine odor but with all these benefits what's wrong with a little stinky odor.
I could have asked these duckies to move so I could pickup the seaweed in the water under and all around them.

I hope you know, I am just kidding about picking up this seaweed and taking it home with me. My Jeep would be smelling fishy for weeks, YUCK! I am not sure if the "mircle" seaweed is the same as NJ seaweed? Now I might have everyone going out to find their own seaweed to wrap their bodies in. If it really does have a few of the benefits I mentioned I could stop taking my Aleve, Advil and Tylenol.

Well your photos are nice as usual..sweet little ducks too. All my best, Regina-
ReplyDeleteAnd best of all it is green. Has been a long time since I've seen gree LOL
ReplyDeleteThink I'll pass on the seaweed wrap and just enjoy your photos instead! =D
ReplyDeleteYou can always come up to Glah-sta and get all of the seaweed your heart desires!
ReplyDeleteLove the little jetty.
I believe you that seaweeds can cure illnesses, it has been proven and it is also a source of iodine, do you know that? Some people here processed seaweeds and make it into Jello.

ReplyDeleteSeaweed - nice with Japanese food too...

ReplyDeleteI know that if I go to the Chinese Restaurant, I always order the seaweed and seafood soup. I think Nori (the black stuff used in sushi) is sea weed too.
ReplyDeleteit has lots of benefits!
Lovely photo, and a lot of information! I have heard that seaweed is also good for the garden.
ReplyDeletelove seeing them all... Great captures!
ReplyDeleteI agree, sea weed has lots of benefits for human's health...

There is the answer! We can eat it instead of wrapping in it! Love your pics! I could almost smell that seaweed! Oh no, wait, I think it is the wet dog!
ReplyDeleteFunny post. Does it smell when you have it done in a spa? I'd rather eat it in sushi.
ReplyDeleteI'm a seaweed fan and thanks for sharing all these lovely shots and helpful info.
ReplyDeleteI love your shots. I know lots of people who put the sea weeds in their gardens.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's that time of year again isn't it? When all the seaweed washes ashore!!
ReplyDeleteMy Wednesday photo is a BROWN PELICAN at the marina [I also have another photo, by link, of the same pelican that is much better...a close up on my photo blog].
COME SEE THE BIRD!
Hope your Wednesday is treating you well.
nice, it is an algea and that is good. I´ve seen them at many locations. I think you can eat it as well.
ReplyDeleteSeaweed. Who knew! One man's junk is another man's treasure.
ReplyDeleteThis looks cool place. happy WW! thanks for coming by....

I enjoyed your wonderful photos as always ... didn't know seaweed wraps were good for arthritis (live and learn) ... glad you didn't take the smelly stuph home with you ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteIn Korea, it is a must to sip seaweed soup during your birthday. Cool photos, Eileen! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting post Eileen. I've heard of seaweed wraps, but never took time to find out why it is supposed to be good for you. Did you try one? (I'll go back and read the post again to see if I missed that part.)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Oregon seaweed is the same? Never heard of anyone harvesting it, but somewhere somebody must!
Nice pictures, funny stuff to think about -- I liked this post a lot.
Good meal for those ducks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful to see the sea without ice. Great pictures as always:-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about it. Thanks for the information. I love your pictures. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteEileen: What a fun post, you need a good sealing bag for the seaweed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflections Eileen.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and weekend.
