If you're at the seaside, make the most of the possibility of thalassotherapy.

Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, discovered the therapeutic qualities of seawater by noticing the healing effects it had on the injured hands of fishermen. The seawater not only restricted infection risks, but patients who followed treatments involving the use of seawater found that it also promoted pain relief.

Romans were firm believers in the virtues of thermalism and thalassotherapy.

It is now known that sea salt therapy is an effective treatment that assists in the rejuvenation of the cells and also induces a healthy exchange of minerals and toxins between the blood and the water.

The contact with seawater, which is very similar to the body’s own internal fluids, allows magnesium and potassium to be drawn into the blood stream while toxins are actively eliminated. Not to mention the full body massage that even a short swim can give.

Seawater, which is rich in minerals and microelements, has wonderful therapeutic properties, especially when heated up to just over 38°C.
