{"product_id":"sea-moss-bladderwrack-whole-leaf","title":"Sea Moss \u0026 Bladderwrack - Whole Leaf","description":"\u003cp\u003eHarvested from the cold, mineral-rich waters of the North Atlantic, this pairing brings together \u003cem\u003eChondrus crispus\u003c\/em\u003e — true Irish Sea Moss — and \u003cem\u003eFucus vesiculosus\u003c\/em\u003e, Bladderwrack, named for the small air bladders along its fronds that lift it upright when the tide comes in. Coastal peoples in Ireland, the Caribbean and West Africa built sea vegetables into ordinary food centuries ago. \u003cem\u003eChondrus crispus\u003c\/em\u003e is the only sea moss species we work with. Several different organisms are sold under that name and they are not the same plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSea vegetables grow in mineral-rich water and take that richness into themselves, which is what nutrient dense actually means. A plant carrying a wide spectrum of nourishment does not decide in advance what it is for. Your body decides. Where you are depleted is usually where you notice it first, which is why one person's experience of sea moss is a poor prediction of yours. Traditionally used to support daily nourishment and mineral intake. Sea moss also carries carrageenan, a natural prebiotic fiber that feeds the beneficial bacteria already living in the gut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a second layer to this work. Plants respond to the person handling them. What you bring to a plant and the relationship you build with it are not decoration on top of the chemistry. They are part of it, which is why two people can follow the same preparation and arrive at two different medicines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pleasantly prepared by adding \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tbeherbs.com\/products\/ginger-root\"\u003eGinger Root\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tbeherbs.com\/products\/lemon-balm\"\u003eLemon Balm\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tbeherbs.com\/products\/spearmint\"\u003eSpearmint\u003c\/a\u003e — their bright, cooling flavors offset the oceanic saltiness while supporting digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBladderwrack is naturally high in iodine. Those with thyroid conditions, taking thyroid medication or with a known iodine sensitivity should speak with a qualified practitioner before use. \u003cem\u003eAs always, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TBE Herbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50336259342617,"sku":"WLH003","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0779\/0873\/files\/Sea-Moss-_-Bladdwerwrack-Whole-Leaf-TBE-Herbs-19772581.jpg?v=1760321826","url":"https:\/\/tbeherbs.com\/products\/sea-moss-bladderwrack-whole-leaf","provider":"TBE Herbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
