Anecdotal: The spirit within Fucus is invoked to address spiritual pain that impedes the ability to move forward into a new life by resolving the associated loss of will or energy. Whalers have been known to rub Fucus on their bodies for protection and good luck. Anecdotally it is believed that when Fucus is combined with Althaea root it aids in healing obesity. Although I found no validation for this it might be worthy of further investigation by appropriate experts.
