Sea moss is basically a type of sea weed. There are many varieties of sea moss, including Irish moss, which grows along the coast of Ireland and Great Britain.
Benefits
Various forms of seaweeds have been used as food and in traditional medicine for centuries by cultures around the world. Ancient Chinese herbal traditions included seaweeds for conditions such as goiter and other health concerns. Historically, various seaweeds have also been used in traditional preparations for digestive complaints, skin concerns, and other conditions.
20th‑century American herbalist, educator, and author, Dr. Edward Shook, studied Irish moss extensively and was particularly interested in its mineral constituents. He was so enthusiastic about Irish moss that he suggested it might be considered useful for just about anything—from foot-and-mouth disease to bunions! (Herb Syllabus, p. 301.)
Irish moss naturally contains minerals that the body can easily assimilate, including iodine, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Dr. Christopher, Dr. Shook and Mrs. M. Grieve all discussed the high mineral content and traditional uses of Irish moss in their writings, reminding us that our bodies respond best to minerals found in whole foods and herbs.
