AS A HEALTH FOOD
Healing benefits
of Raw Irish Moss are abundant. As a soothing aid to all mucous
membranes, Irish Moss eases such digestive ailments as
gastritis, dyspepsia, nausea, heartburn, indigestion,
constipation, and peptic and duodenal ulcers. Irish Moss also
has antibacterial, antiviral, and anticoagulant activities.
Used topically, Irish Moss helps to soothe skin conditions such
as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, sunburn, and chapped skin.
In addition to its functional benefits, Raw Irish Moss is an
excellent source of minerals. This almost-tasteless seaweed is
loaded with life-enhancing nutrients such as sulphur compounds,
protein, iodine, bromine, beta-carotene, calcium, iron,
magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc,
pectin, B-vitamins and vitamin C. Notably absent from a
vegetarian diet, sulphur-containing amino acids, such as taurine,
are abundant in Irish moss, more so than in any other type of
seaweed!

Irish moss has
long been recognized for its ability to cure and abate the
symptoms of colds and flu, thus the eating of Irish moss forms
an effective barrier to the ills of winter. Irish moss contains
potassium chloride, this chemical helps to dissolve catarrhs,
which are responsible for the congestion associated with chesty
coughs, therefore, Irish moss provides a healthy natural
alternative to the in many cases man made over the counter
pharmaceutical cough and flu remedies.
Irish moss also
contains several natural antimicrobial and anti viral agents
which not only prevents colds and flu's, but Irish moss is
reported to eradicate a wide range of infections in sufferers,
reducing valuable time lost to the ills we all encounter every
day. The respiratory ailments Irish moss has been reported to
alleviate include, sore throats, bronchitis and pneumonia, there
are even reports that indicate Irish moss exhibited activity
against tuberculosis.
Irish moss
contains significant amounts of iodine, the thyroid gland
exhibits a requirement for this ion, thus iodine is required for
proper gland function, thus induce a change in the glandular
system from disease to health. Iodine plays an important role in
our ability to fight disease. Germs can gain access to the blood
through cuts in the skin, through the nasal membranes and throat
passages, or via the intestinal tract, or practically anywhere
there is a rich supply blood close to an external surface.
Iodine has a limited antimicrobial role, as blood circulates
through the body it passes through the thyroid gland, iodine is
secreted in to the blood stream through the thyroid, where it
kills many of the weaker germs, whilst weakening some of the
stronger germs.
Iodine also has
other functions in the body, e.g. it aids in the release of
tension, especially nervous tension, which enhances the overall
sense of well being.
Due to the
strongly alkaline nature of Irish moss, has led to this sea
vegetables use in the relief and cure of bunions, the alkalinity
of this wonderful herb is not attributed to sodium bicarbonate
or potash, which are the major ingredients of many of the over
the counter alkalizes. This fact has led to the use of Irish
moss in the relief of the rigors of the day after excessive
alcohol consumption, i.e. the hangover, it replaces much of the
ion content that is leached from the body as a consequence of
the dehydrating effect attributed to the consumption of alcohol.
Calcium
phosphate, and the phosphates of potassium, sodium and magnesium
are required by the cells of the brain, liver, flesh and bones.
Calcium phosphate salts form the major insoluble inorganic
component of the bone, so intake of this salt can aid bone
integrity and keep teeth strong and healthy.
Other ailments
Irish moss is reported to be effective against, cancer and
radiation poisoning (possibly because of the iodine content of
Irish moss), it is an alterative, effective against halitosis,
the formation varicose veins, inflammation, against dysentery
and Irish moss has been applied as an emollient. As a gelatinous
substance Irish moss has been used to treat peptic and duodenal
ulcers and to inhibit arteriosclerosis and therefore,
hypertension, it protects from fat and cholesterol build up.
Irish moss has a well documented anticoagulant effect on the
blood, and clears up many bladder complaints.
