Analysis and applications
Even if every sort of seaweeds, according to its structure and its specific composition
possesses properties and indications which belong to him solely, there are nevertheless
big common bases - in different degrees - to most of them.
1 ° - AT THE LEVEL OF THEIR COMPOSITION
First of all, their incomparable qualitative wealth in minerals, that
these are in great quantities (macroelements) : potassium, chlorine, sodium, calcium,
magnesium, sulfur, phosphor, iodine, iron, copper, manganese, or in very small
quantity (oligo-elements): aluminium, antimony, money, arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth, bore,
bromine, cadmium, cerium, chromium, cobalt, tin, fluorine, gallium, germanium, lithium, mercury,
molybdène, nickel, now, lead, rubidium, selenium, silicon, strontium, thallium, titanium,
vanadium, zinc. Substances which play quite an essential role in our development and
our biologic functioning, especially since algae supply them under
much better comparable, organic shape by the body than under the mineral shape used
in the dietary or pharmaceutical specialities.
Then, the abundance in amino acids among which are present
eight main things which the body cannot synthetize and whose indispensable need it has
in the daily power supply, namely: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, méthionine,
phénylalanine, thréonine, tryptophane, valine.
Finally, the presence of all the vitamins necessary for the good balance of our
various functions.
The array of analytical composition averages below
will show you the extraordinary wealth so qualitative as quantitative of the seaweeds
in vital elements which we need. In here is the main
components with their average dosages as regards algae such
as they devrainet to be used.

In view of this extraordinary wealth of composition, and held account the
multiple problems of health which are linked to the deficiencies or the microphone(microcomputing) deficiencies
in these different
vital elements at the moment in our consumer societies, we understand better
the importance than can have seaweeds in our power supply as
preventive and curative processing of many diseases grouped together under the naming
perfectly justified " diseases of civilization ".
Among these last ones: the diseases cardio and cérébro-vascular to which we pay a
so heavy levy, neuropsychic confusions which are only growing and deteriorating year
by year, the chronic rheumatisms - and more specially the degenerative osteoarthritis - which get more
and more people, excess weights in constant progress with all the
consequences and the grave complications which ensue from it, and the different allergies which
"bloom"("prosper") in a spectacular way since some chandeliers.
2 ° - AT THE LEVEL OF THEIR PROPERTIES
- Seaweeds taken by internal general way (that is by
digestive way), by bringing to the body of numerous organic and mineral elements
susceptible to miss him, establish excellent controllers of deficiencies.
Furthermore, they stimulate the general metabolism with an improvement of the
internal exchanges and the better elimination of waste.
Besides, they help in the restoring or in the regularization of numerous
organic functions) become insufficient or disrupted.
Finally, they increase the natural defences, they strengthen the resistance of the
biologic land, and increase the vital energy generally.
- seaweeds used by local way external re-hydrate and
firm up cutaneous tissues the nutrition and the reproduction of cells of which they favor
while toning up the fibers of support of the dermis, what prevents the forming of
wrinkles or entails their enfeeblement if they are already established, and provoke globally
a slowing down of the ageing of the skin. They also clean up the skin, and
improve the functioning of sudoripares and sebaceous glands, what has the effect of
preventing or of correcting numerous confusions dermatologiques common.
In summary, and very in broad outline, we can advance that, globally,
seaweeds are stimulating, tonifiantes, revitalisantes, rééquilibrantes, and
désintoxicantes.
3 ° - AT THE LEVEL OF THEIR INDICATIONS
In the dietary domain: the states of malnutrition and the
food imbalance of all kinds linked on one hand to the impoverished stemming food of
the modern techniques of culture, preparation, of conditioning, distribution, etc., and on
the other hand for the new consumer habits of this food.
In the therapeutic domain: the fragile or deficient land, the
delays of growth, the states of fatigue, and the medical or surgical convalescences,
the states of déminéralisation, the chronic rheumatisms, the functional constipation,
excess weights, the premature ageing.
These algae which feed.
The food use of algae goes back up to times the most put off by
the history of the Man. Either in a regular and important way as in Far East, or
in a coincidental way as it was the case in numerous countries of Europe and America
in period of scarcity.
They always keep an essential place in the power supply of China,
Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and most of the islands of the Pacific, what is
perfectly normal because it is about a traditional culinary culture there, but -
surprising thing - they become again of current events in West in spite of a profusion of
food, what, at first sight, can seem paradoxical.
In fact, he becomes very difficult to find a
"biologically normal" power supply today. Certainly, we have a plentiful food but which is
"done root canal work", so, more and more often. We eat, and, a lot at
the same time, we are carencés in essential elements. Too many calories on one side, not
enough vital elements of the other one, the major causes of a big part of the
contemporary pathology against which the modern medical science, in spite of its fantastic progress
and the means which it has, cannot face.
The only effective solution thus
consists in enriching this "standardized" power supply, qualitatively impoverished, with
food complements intended to restore him a satisfactory biologic balance
absolutely indispensable to our good health.
Now seaweeds represent
the best food (complements which are, what explains their return in force in our
western countries, not in the form of culinary preparations which do not correspond to
our traditional tastes, but under oriented forms which could become integrated easily into our
usual power supply. And so we use more and more seaweeds under their
natural shape.
In this food domain, the most used seaweeds
are the following ones (names in brackets correspond to the
common naming under which they are often sold in the commercial circuit):
Green algae: Ulva lactuca (Sea lettuce) - Enteromorpha and Mono stroma.
Brown algae: Alaria esculenta - Eisenia arborea (Aramé) - spindle-shaped Hizikia (Hiziki
or Iziki) - Laminaria digitata (Whip of the Witches) - Laminaria saccharina (Belt or
belt of Neptune) - Laminaria japonica ( Kombu) - Undaria ( Wakamé) - Ascophyllum
nodosum (black Wrack) - Wrack vesiculosus (Varec vésiculeux or maritime oak) -
Himanthalia elongata (Sea spaghetti).
Red algae: Porphyra ( Nori) - Chondrus crispus (Carragheen or frizzy wrack) -
Rhodamine palmata (Wrack with cow) - Lithothamnium calcareum ( Maërl) - Ulva lactuca
Laminaria saccharina - Porphyra umbilicalis
There is a considerable number of intended algae either in the culinary custom, or in
the food complémentarisation.
These algae which cure
The employment of algae in medicine is much less former) than their
food custom and the number of used variety show much more restricted, but the increasing interest
which they arouse for some years in the scientific world will result
certainly soon in new discoveries which will come to enrich our
therapeutic arsenal.
In the current state of our knowledge, we can already hold that among
algae used today in the therapeutic domain:
- most act as tonics of the general metabolism by
occurring at the level of certain endocrines glands, by increasing the exchanges osmotiques, and by
favoring the elimination of waste.
- Of numerous possess more specific properties, notably:
hypocholestérolémiante (Laminaria-Porphyra - Chondrus), hypoglycémiante (Cystoseira-Corallina),
hypotensive (Laminaria-Chondrus), anticoagulative (Laminaria-Pterocladia -
Corallina), digestive muco-defender (Gelidium-Pterocladia - Chondrus-Euchema -
Gracilaria-Hypnea), laxative (Laminaria - Wrack - Chondrus).
- some still have shares(actions): cardiotonic (Undaria pinnatifida),
vermifuge (Alsidium helminthocorton - Digenea simplex), antibacterian, antifongique,
antiviral (Cl liked rupestris).
Number of these shares and properties always give place to research
works of which the official therapeutics does not dare to take advantage yet really.
Major indications of the used Algae:
Arteriosclerosis - Degenerative osteoarthritis - Ascaridiose - Asthenia - Bronchitis chronicles - Constipation - Convalescence - Déminéralisation - Gastritis - Haemorrhoids - Hypothyroïdie-Oxyurose - Delay of growth - Senesence - Excess weight - Confusions of the memory -
Confusions of the menopause - Osteoporosis to the old subjects
The Algues LX
Think thus more often of this return to basics of original navies
to maintain or find as soon as possible your capital health / beauty in
a very natural way.
In conclusion, seaweeds establish for the Man
fabulous one renewable wealth a low share of the existing deposit of which we exploit only,
and of which we take advantage only hardly little.
They can bring you a better food balance, a
good prevention of the diseases said " about civilization ", a health improved in
numerous domains, and a bigger beauty, that is a
much better quality of life after which we run all without, mostly,
to find her.
