Irish Moss: What To Do With It

by Meghan Telpner

I have weird collections. It used to be shoes. Now it’s foraged mushrooms, and seaweed. Everywhere I go, I check out the local sea vegetables. People now send me gifts of seaweed from their own fair shores too (feel free!).

Nothing, however, has stolen my heart quite like Irish or Sea Moss (twin brothers from different mothers).

This unsuspecting superfood has been my top of the charts seller since I started carrying it. Not an easy thing to find but an absolute smoothie essential, if you ask me. Also a top, top, top food to eat to help with all your daily detox efforts. Cleans up the thyroid, sheds radiation, strips the gut of excess mucous buildup and other fine jazz. Makes the drinks so silky smooth, keeps all the goods you throw in there in solution, and heals the gut and thyroid like nothing else.

What’s It Good For?

You have been asking for it and at long, long last- I have put together my how-to video for Irish Moss. Now, save your Q’s ’cause I now have your A’s answered. All in this video…

If you would like written directions, they are right on over here.

In addition to the health benefits I mentioned in the video, it also helps relieve and prevent symptoms of colds and flus. How perfect for the winter months?! Irish moss is a source of potassium chloride, a nutrient which helps to dissolve catarrhs (yucky inflammation and  inducing phlegm in the mucous membranes), which cause congestion. It also contains compounds which act as natural antimicrobial and antiviral agents, helping to get rid of any infections. Hello natural cough syrup!

Cold, flu-like, and other coughy mucousy conditions the moss helps with include:

  • Sore throat
  • Bronchitis
  • Pneumonia
  • Tuberculosis
  • Chest coughs
