Seaweed Whole (Sargassum spp.), often referred to as "Hai Zao" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a marine-derived botanical celebrated for its cleansing, cooling, and harmonizing attributes. Harvested from nutrient-rich ocean waters, these dried seaweed fronds retain their natural color and texture, preserving the full essence of the sea’s restorative qualities.

In TCM, Seaweed is traditionally employed to clear heat, transform phlegm, and reduce minor nodules or swellings. Its mineral-rich composition is believed to support healthy thyroid function and fluid balance, making it a popular choice for those seeking gentle support against occasional water retention, mild swelling, or discomfort caused by stagnation. When steeped into soups, broths, or herbal decoctions, its briny, subtly savory flavor complements a variety of ingredients, providing both nourishment and a sense of internal harmony.

Each batch of Seaweed Whole (Sargassum spp.) is carefully gathered and dried to maintain its inherent potency and coastal character. Its firm, ribbon-like fronds allow for easy preparation, whether used alone or blended with other botanicals for a synergistic effect. With a heritage rooted in centuries of marine-based healing, Seaweed Whole offers a time-tested path toward balance, reflecting the ocean’s profound bounty and the deep traditions of natural wellness.
