“The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.”
Isak Dinesen
The sea has long been known to have a healing effect on humans, and Hippocrates and Galen were among the first to speak about it. It has been used to treat diseases such as eczema, arthritis, asthma, psoriasis and back pain.
Hippocrates discovered the healing properties of seawater by observing its effect on wounds. Thalassotherapy is known to improve blood cycle and circulation by restoring essential micro-elements within our bodies that are depleted by poor diets, stress or environmental pollution.
