KELP STORY
When my hair was falling out after baby number five I wasn’t terribly alarmed, at first. I knew that was normal after pregnancy. I had lost hair after my other babies, too.
But this time I felt like I was losing more hair, more often. I’ve always had thick hair and I love to wear it long, so I was not thrilled about the idea of ongoing hair loss!
So I did what I always do, I went to my favorite books about healing and started reading.
What I learned was when a woman has extreme hair loss it is usually because the thyroid is struggling.
So my next question was, if my thyroid is struggling what does it NEED?
The answer I found was KELP.
Kelp FEEDS and HEALS the thyroid.
I started taking kelp IMMEDIATELY and it seemed my hair started growing back INSTANTLY! If I hadn’t tried it myself I may not have believed how well it worked!
It’s amazing how the body can respond when we give it what we need!
But HOW DO YOU GET KELP IN YOUR DIET?
You can get a kelp supplement. I use one that’s just dried kelp in capsules, whatever you use make sure there are no fillers.
This is the EXACT one I use: KELP
But you can also EAT it. Think SUSHI!
Below is a fun and delicious way to eat kelp! It can be a little “fishy” so if that bothers you a supplement might be the best way for you to go.
KIM PAP/SUSHI/SEAWEED RICE ROLLS
* 2 cups cooked brown rice
* 4-6 sheets nori (dried seaweed sheets)
* 1 carrot shredded or julienned
* 1 cucumber julienned
* 1 avocado in slices
* 1 red bell pepper sliced thin or julienned
Spread 1/3-1/2 cup rice on one half of seaweed sheet leaving a one inch border on the bottom.
Layer vegetables down the center of the rice patch in a long line.
Roll from the bottom up.
As you let the roll sit the seaweed will collect moisture from the rice filling, this helps it stay sealed.
OPTIONAL: Brush with roasted sesame oil for a wonderful Korean flavored rice roll. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Slice in 1/2 inch slices, dip or rinse your knife in water between each slice, it helps your knife to NOT stick to the slices.
