Kelp is a plant that lives in the oceans. This cold-water seaweed belongs to the family Laminariaceae. Kelp is a large, floating plant that grows in large masses (called kelp forests) and is held to the sea floor by a holdfast. Kelp is usually brown. Kelp is used by people as food, a food additive, fertilizer (when reduced to ash), and as an ingredient in many other products. Kelp evolved during in the Miocene epoch.
Seaweed rich in vitamin B6, iron, magnesium, potassium and iodine.
Kelp (Laminaria digitata) A common seaweed, which picked and eaten fresh (and from clean seawater) is good in salads. A source of alginates, use sliced kelp to thicken soup.
Kelp, commonly referred to as seaweed, grows along the coastlines. It is solely dependant upon receiving its nutrients from the ocean and can grow up to two feet in one day. Kelp is an abundant source of natural vitamins, minerals and some amino acids. Kelp is a nutritional source that is used to promote healthy glandular functions, focusing especially on the thyroid. By regulating the thyroid, kelp helps stimulate and balance the metabolism. The large amounts of iodine found in kelp are important in the treatment of an under-active thyroid. Consequently, kelp may contribute to weight loss if the weight gain is directly related to thyroid disorders. Containing align, a fiber that absorbs toxins and nutrients from the digestive system, kelp helps improve digestion, stimulate kidney function, increase circulation and purify the blood. Kelp has also been known to treat inflamed joints and tissues caused by arthritis and rheumatism. Furthermore, kelp enhances the immune system and eliminates the negative effects that stress may have on the body. (Due to its high iodine content, Kelp should be used sparingly if a thyroid condition exists and consult your health care professional.)
A long, dark brown to grayish-black algae which is harvested, sun-dried, then folded into sheets. A popular ingredient in Japanese cookery. Sometimes pickled and used as a condiment.
The "vegetable of the sea," is thought to contain more vitamins and mineral than any other food. Kelp contains high amounts of natural iodine that are required for thyroid gland function.
Kelp contains nearly thirty minerals that nourish the glands (especially the thyroid and pituitary). By enhancing the action of the glandular system, it helps balance the body's metabolism and rate at which it burns calories. Kelp is also an important general and nutritive tonic herb that aids in the treatment of obesity, heart disease, respiratory disease, rheumatism & arthritis, high blood pressure, thyroid deficiency, constipation & gastrointestinal ailments, and infectious disease. Kelp provides nutritive support to the entire body, and also improves circulatory stimulation.
Laminaria digitata. A type of seaweed. The stem-like parts of this plant have been used in some cultures to treat certain medical problems. It may have immunostimulatory and anticancer effects.

Fucus visiclosis A very rich source of thirty trace and major minerals. Especially high in potassium and iodine. It has traditionally been used to treat underactive thyroid, nervous disorders, prevent hair loss, alkalizing blood chemistry, and as a general nourishment for the body.
Kelp are large seaweeds (algae), belonging to the brown algae and classified in the order Laminariales. Despite their appearance they are not grouped with the normal aquatic or land plants (kingdom Plantae), but instead are included in either kingdom Protista or Chromista. There are about 30 different genera.
