The gift of Sea Lettuce is it's ability to recognize, to heal and to transform the dark side - the secret faults and hidden flaws of the ego personality which we prefer to keep hidden, even from ourselves. Perceived through the healing green transparency of Sea Lettuce these blemishes are digested and absorbed and the real darkness is eliminated. The colour green brings oxygen and healing and is useful for decreasing heat. Sea Lettuce feels like a blanket which soothes and heals the lower abdomen. It can be used when healing is required for the reproductive organs or the bowels.

In the Indian tradition there is a wise one known as the ""Eater of Filth"". The task of this Elder was to listen with open, compassionate heart and non-opinionated mind to individuals acknowledging their worst sin, the evil in their hearts. His job was to digest their sinister thoughts and feelings and in so doing they were freed of their inner darkness. Sea Lettuce is a remedy of purification and release.
