Ways That Amateurs Can Use Sea Minerals for Different Things

Water covers 70 percent of the Earth's surface. Life is abundant in seas and oceans, which teem with mammals, fish, algae, crustaceans, plants and microorganisms. This is because bodies of water are full of minerals that sustain life. These minerals can be harnessed and used for man's benefit.

  1. Farming and Gardening

    • The minerals from the sea can rejuvenate the soil in your garden or farm as it alkalizes an acidic environment. Microorganisms such as tiny insects and fungi avoid crops that have been fertilized with soil treated with sea minerals. Insecticides, herbicides and fungicides are designed to kill life, so they have a negative effect on your crops as well. Sea minerals give life and boost your crop production. Grass even grows tall and bright green when treated with sea minerals. Sea minerals can be sprayed on plants or used in combination with your regular watering regimen.

    Cooking and Eating

    • Foods grown with sea minerals pass those nutrients on to beings that consume them. In the book, "Minerals: Key to Vibrant Health and Life Force," Jacob Swilling explains that sea minerals interact with other nutrients, vitamins and enzymes and give them sort of boost to enhance their performance in the body. He suggests that the ultimate diet would be of foods grown from the influence of sea minerals that enrich the soil from which foods grow. Unrefined sea salt is a seasoning that comes from the sea that still has magnesium. Magnesium is a basic building block of all life on Earth. Enzymes that help with digestion require magnesium. Asthma and diabetes can result from low magnesium levels.

    Cosmetics

    • Bathing in dissolved salts from the sea can replenish the youthful look of your skin. The magnesium ion in the sea salt works like a moisturizer. In the book "Marine Therapy" Jose Soto explains that "Sea Water is more refreshing on the skin than alcohol or acetone. Actually, the skin becomes softer and smoother." The cosmetics market in the 21st century has seen a big push in advertising that promotes products claiming to contain sea minerals.

    Health

    • Sea minerals rejuvenate cells in the body. Sea water carries 80 natural chemicals. Jacob Swilling explains that "Sea minerals are uniquely identical to those in the human body ensuring 95-98 percent absorption." Jose Soto explains that the ocean is a natural anti-inflammatory. It creates a cooling process in the body as well as a phenomenon called vasoconstriction. Vasoconstriction decreases redness and removes excess fluids under the skin.
