Thalassotherapy An ancient Greek therapy (thalasso is Greek for sea) these treatments use the therapeutic benefits of the sea, and seawater products for their vitamins, minerals and trace elements, which can heal and reinvigorate skin and hair. Various treatments include: Individual baths of fresh seawater equipped with powerful underwater jets for deep massage; or a therapist applies manual massage to body with hoses. Body wrap, similar to herbal wrap, but using seaweed or sea algae paste, to eliminate toxins, restore minerals and skin elasticity. As with most wraps, it usually involves seaweed paste rubbed on the body, which is then covered with sheets and sometimes blankets for 10 to 20 minutes. Use of sea water and sea air to treat a disease; living near the sea, bathing in the water and breathing sea air. |
