The sea is a great natural medicine chest, offering a rich abundance of healing opportunities which we can draw on to improve both our health and sense of well-being – from thalassotherapy to medicinal spa treatments, from using algae as a dietary supplement to the curative benefits to be derived from New Zealand’s green lipped mussels, and the omega-3 fatty acids in fish. Apart from its more familiar applications for respiratory diseases and skin problems, the oceans also provide medicinal benefits that can cure, or at least alleviate, gastro - intestinal disorders, vascular diseases and trouble with the joints. The book includes many examples of medicinal applications, along with a wealth of recipes outlining healthy sea-based cuisine.
