Irish Sea Moss Powder aka Irish moss (Genus Chondrus Crispus) is a cold water red seaweed that grows year-round in tidepools and inlets. It is native to cold water regions of the Atlantic and is found along the coastlines of Europe, North America, and the British Isles.
Irish Moss has traditionally been used for numerous medical applications, some dating back to the 1830s.
It is still used today to make traditional medicinal teas and cough medicines, to combat colds, bronchitis and chronic coughs. In Ireland and Scotland, and parts of South America like Venezuela, it is boiled and added as a home remedy for sore throats and chest congestions, our to its anti-viral properties.
In Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, it is boiled with milk and cinnamon (or without milk and with seeds, the “Ital” way) to make the famous “Irish Moss” drink and is used as an aphrodisiac.
Sea moss is packed full of iodine, so it can help people with hypothyroidism, this is a condition where your body doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones, which regulate your body’s metabolism. Metabolism is how the food you eat is transformed into energy and also regulates processes like your heart rate and your breathing.
