HEALTH FROM THE SEA

Revitalise yourself with seawater. Thalassotherapy is a therapeutic treatment based on the use of the properties of seawater, algae and marine mud, under medical supervision and in a healthy marine environment.
The use of heat, balneotherapy and massage techniques promotes the absorption of mineral salts from marine elements through the pores of the skin, in a natural remineralisation process that provides beneficial effects for your health.

BENEFITS OF THALASSOTHERAPY
Seawater contains essential elements in the proportions required by our cells to maintain their integrity and balance, making it a natural method of remineralising the body.
The effects of changes in seawater temperature, the continuous massage created by the movement of the water and the pure air of the marine environment promote the absorption of minerals through the pores of the skin.
The therapeutic use of seawater is almost as old as human civilisation itself. According to historical sources, Hippocrates, the father of Medicine, recommended the use of seawater as a therapy to treat health imbalances.
Over the centuries, thalassotherapy has demonstrated visible results in relieving a variety of conditions. Thanks to its wide range of applications, thalassotherapy can provide significant improvements in overall health, helping to restore the body’s natural balance. Studies carried out in this field indicate that, at the end of a course of treatment, people report a feeling of pain relief and physical and psychological well-being that lasts over time [Roscoff, 2009].
Marine treatments are particularly effective in relieving rheumatic conditions. Historical records from Nazaré’s traditional hot saltwater baths contain testimonials from users reporting a significant reduction, and even elimination, of pain, improved muscular condition and increased range of motion in the joints.
