Hair and scalp

A number of our customers have found relief from conditions of the hair and scalp using Seagreens® Food Capsules and/or Food Granules.

"The Food Capsules make a very great difference. My hair is a much better colour now as well as being thicker, after literally about a third of it fell out last year during the summer before it was found that my thyroid is under-active...it helps me in so many ways"

- R. Kearsley, London SW11, 2009

“Seaweed feeds the shafts and the ducts of the scalp to help improvethe health of the hair. It has been said that the thick, black,lustrous hair of the Japanese is partly due to their regular diet ofmineral-rich brown sea vegetables” (160)

Healthy hair requiresmany nutrients, particularly protein, vitamins A, B, C, D and E,essential fatty acids (EFAs) particularly Omega 6, and a range ofmicronutrients particularly zinc (161), all of which are present inseaweeds (162).

 

CASE STUDY

In2005 a female customer in her 40s was prescribed drugs which it is believed causedamong other symptoms, severe hair loss and infection of the scalp. Atthe worst point she was losing 400 - 800 hairs each time she shampooed.

Scalp and hair shampoo as used by our customer twice weekly:

• Mix 1 and a 1/2 teaspoons of Seagreens® Purée diluted* in 1 cupful of luke warm mineral water
• Apply to dry hair, drizzling over the hair using the fingers to work it into the scalp
• Leave onthe head for 30 minutes, then rinse out the Purée using a mild naturalshampoo with no chemical or artificial additives or strong fragrances
  
• Before the end of this 30 minutes, prepare a pot of concentrated nettle tea and leave to cool until approximately body temperature
  
• Pourthe nettle tea over the scalp and leave for a few moments beforetowelling dry (use an old towel which may be slightly stained). Do notrinse out - the tea does not smell.
• We suggest no interim shampooing
• The nettle tea alone can be applied and left in the hair more often than twice a week if this feels appropriate

* The Purée must be diluted before use on the skin since the pH is slightly acid at about 4: this is not harmful but may be uncomfortable if left on the skin longer than 15 minutes when it will tend to ‘dry out’ the skin.

We wish to make it clear that our product and suggested use does not constitute a treatment or cure or herbal remedy. The product is a pure ‘whole food’ and we merely wish to relay this particular customer’s experience, with her permission. The Purée is not yet available in stores and its use is entirely at the customer’s risk.
