Aalgo is the market-leading organic, wild Irish seaweed treatment for eczema, dermatitis, and itchy, irritating, dry skin conditions using only the natural healing properties of seaweed. There are many different types of eczema/dermatitis nearly all of which come with an incredible itch!! The first thing bathing in Aalgo or using it in paste form will do is KILL that ITCH you will then feel all the rough skin starting to slowly heal and exfoliate away – and after a few weeks new silky soft rejuvenated skin appears
How to use
Add 2 heaped tablespoons of Aalgo into a luke warm bath. Bath every day without showers where possible so as to keep the invisible residue of Aalgo on your skin. Lie back with your neck muscles in the water to completely destress and relax.
Have an Aalgo bath every day until clear then once a week thereafter
If unable to bath, mix some Aalgo with water into a watery cream and apply all over the body, leaving on for about 5/10 minutes and then shower off. Always make sure the shower is at half power and only luke warm.
• The dreadful itch will ease leaving skin soothed
• Any area scratched raw will heal.
• The dry, scaly skin will naturally and gently exfoliate away allowing renewed skin with a soft, supple and clear appearance.
Maintenance:
Always use Luke warm water (Hot water irritates the skin). Enjoy having a long relaxing Aalgo bath once a week. If you feel the slightest dry skin, have a bath that night. If you have a stressfull day bath that night and get your neck muscles in the water. Always have an Aalgo bath after swimming in an indoor pool to counter the effects of the chlorine.

Hands and Feet
Dyshidrosis also known as dyshidrotic eczema or pompholyx:
For the hands (get some large plastic gloves) mix Aalgo to a seaweed cream with hot water, pore into the gloves only half filling them, put your hands into the gloves. This way you will get the paste all over your fingers and hands, sit like this for about 20 minutes before going to bed(while on in a paste it is acting as a healer and an exfoliater to get rid of all the dead dry chapped skin) then rinse your hands in a basin of LUKE WARM water (not under the tap) this way the water will be brown but your hands will be clean, just pat dry - there will be an invisible residue left on your hands which you will absorb through your pores during the night and this will hydrate the skin from the inside out. Repeat this daily until the hands are 100% clear.
For the feet mix Aalgo to a thick seaweed cream with hot water apply at blood temperature to the soles of the feet and all around the heals, cover loosely with cling film, put on socks leave on over night. In the morning rinse your feet in a basin of LUKE WARM water and rub the area with your hands, pat dry. IF YOU ARE A DIABETIC do NOT leave on OVERNIGHT only leave on for about half an hour and then rinse off in a basin of water,
If the problem is on both hands and feet after three days just bath daily with 2 heaped tablespoons of Aalgo in a luke warm bath - do this in the evening so that the feet are not going back into socks or shoes until the next day, and the hands are not going back into water until the next day.
Continue having an Aalgo bath daily until totally clear - then 1-2 baths per week to keep clear.
When showering, always have a basin with enough water and some Aalgo dissolved in it out side the shower for you to step into after the shower - this will remove all the residue of shampoos, shower gels, soap etc that are in the foot well of the shower and prevent your feet from healing.
If there was no residue we wouldn't have to clean our showers
Legs - Statis dermatitis:
Use a deep basin or bucket fill with LUKE WARM WATER and 1to 2 tablespoons of Aalgo sit with you legs and feet in this for about half and hour then pat the skin dry and sit with your legs up. Put your moisturisers on about an hour later this will give the invisible residue of Aalgo time to be absorbed. Do this daily.
