Thalassotherapy:
the healing power of the sea

Enhance well-being with natural resources of the sea

Thalassotherapy is a healing method that harnesses natural elements from the sea. Its roots can be traced back to ancient Greece, where sea’s healing properties were already well-known. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, for example, recommended seawater baths for treating all kinds of ailments. The term “thalassotherapy” itself originated in ancient Greece, combining “thalassa” meaning “sea” with “therapeia” which stands for “treatment”. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the popularity of thalassotherapy spread across Europe, largely due to the pioneering work of British physician Richard Russell.

When is thalassotherapy recommended and how does it work?

Thalassotherapy helps with various health conditions, including respiratory ailments, rheumatism, chronic skin disorders, stress, and fatigue. It promotes blood circulation and detoxifies the body, relieving muscle and joint discomfort, improving skin health, and strengthening the immune system. Additionally, thalassotherapy helps alleviate stress and anxiety and improve overall relaxation. The mineral-rich composition of seawater also helps with tissue regeneration and speeds up wound healing. All these benefits make thalassotherapy an effective, complementary form therapy to improve general well-being and alleviate various health problems.
