Here are some of the amazing stories we received:
Amanda's Story:
"My son has had eczema since he was under two. I have tried different diets, only root veg, only foods indigenous to Ireland (where we live), no dairy no red foods, I've seen a healer, had tonics made by 'witch doctors ' all the time I was seeing my regular doctor who prescribed steroids, steroids, steroids, I was very unhappy to put steroids on my son's young skin. I would only apply cream and steroid once a week if his skin had broken and was bleeding. I kept a diary. I felt stress made it worse, food didn't seem to have an effect on his skin and in the summer, as soon as the sun peeped through the clouds, my son would be naked and his eczema would improve dramatically. When he was three, I took him to the hospital as he was scratching so much that his skin was bleeding. The doctor said it was the worst eczema she had seen and referred us to Temple Street Hospital. We received an appointment for 18 months later!! I was shocked.
I carried on trying any idea that was sent my way, then we went to the Ideal Home Exhibition and met a lovely man and purchased some Aalgo. Everything he said would happen, happened. I bathed him, and he slept. I hadn't realised how much he had tossed and turned at night until it stopped; all I could hear was silence. His bed was full of what appeared to be sand, but I knew to be skin.
We have never looked back. My son's skin is fantastic!!!!!!!!!! It healed very quickly as I had never really used any steroid on it, so it was strong skin, not thin and weak.
First, I noticed the quiet at night, then I noticed he wasn't rubbing himself on the sofa, or he used to rub his whole body on the carpet in our living room. The itch had gone. The scratching stopped, and his skin had a chance to heal. His skin is great now. It still can flare up, but nothing like it used to. Aalgo has changed our home. I have five children: three boys, two girls. They all get into the seaweed bath now, I think aalgo is great
Thank You"

Erika's Story:
"I was introduced to your products by our Naturopath when my then 2-year old son developed an eczema rash on his arms and tummy. A couple of months of regular baths in seaweed and a slight diet modification, and his skin was clear again. At that time, I tried it on the red and often inflamed skin on my cheeks, which was damaged by spending lots of time outdoors in Alaska, and being exposed to frost nip many times. Now that I live in the northern climate of Alaska again, I wouldn't be without this product! It is the only thing that soothes and heals my skin so effectively. Not to mention, it is the most relaxing bath product I have ever used. I can close my eyes, and the scent instantly transports me to the sea... I love Aalgo!!"

Gillian's Story:
"I was introduced to aalgo many years ago as a 'beauty' type of skin mask. I work as a colon hydrotherapist and massage therapist, and as my product knowledge of Aalgo improved, I started to recommend it to clients suffering from skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis.
I used to give people a small sample and get them to use it as per the website instructions, and almost all of them got better and ordered their own Aalgo. I have seen outstanding results, not least because my husband suffers from eczema and does really well with Aalgo. It is so gentle and soothing, and in one episode he had eczema on his eyelids, Aalgo was gentle enough to use on them. His eczema is highly improved now, and Aalgo is an integral part of this. I also remember one particular client who suffered badly with eczema, as did his son. I gave him a sample to try, and 2 weeks later, when I saw him, both he and his son were 90% better, having been so impressed they ordered and used Aalgo. Another lady I remember had eczema on the soles of her feet. She used it and again, within 2 weeks, was better. I am a huge fan of Aalgo as you can probably tell. It is a unique and powerfully effective skin treatment and is lovely to use, just as a seaweed treatment or face mask. 100% recommended."

Niall's Story
"Hi. Every winter I suffer from eczema, I suppose from a lack of Sun and was spending a fortune on different creams which either didn't work or caused other skin problems. I came across aalgo at a market, and after 3 baths, my eczema had cleared
completely! Many thanks!"
