Thalassotherapy is a rediscovered spa treatment based on an ancient belief in the healing properties of seawater. The word appeared in France from the Greek "Thalassa", that means sea and "therapeia" meaning healing.

Today, thalassotherapy is used as an alternative treatment for medical conditions and has become a popular tourist attraction for stress reduction and relaxation, as well as a favorite method of anti-aging. In many cases it is a useful therapy to improve circulation.

The thalassotherapy uses not only seawater but also, sand, mud, algae, and other marine and sea derivatives to obtain benefits. All these materials are cleaned and purified before use.

Treatments may include: mud baths, underwater showers, whirlpool, algae masks, aromatherapy and others to provide calm and wellbeing to the body.

How does it serve?

The thalassotherapy main objective is to increase blood circulation, as this is affected by stress, poor diet and pollution.

The composition of sea water is so similar to human blood, that dives in warm seawater may promote absorption of minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium sulfates through the skin. This not only increases blood circulation, also has beneficial effects on the skin pores, such as tone and moisturizing.
Thalassotherapy also helps detoxify and nourish the skin and relax the body.

Benefits of Thalassotherapy

More and more people are turning to the thalassotherapy treatments for anti-aging. It has become a preferred treatment for cellulite reduction for its effectiveness and its calming effect.

The causes of cellulite are generally attributed to poor blood circulation and accumulation of toxins, so a thalassotherapy treatment can usually fight these agents while providing other benefits.
