The most miraculous SPA procedures, likerule, natural origin. Mud baths and thalassotherapy are two outstanding examples of these procedures. They help with a variety of diseases of the skin and the entire body as a whole, and also contribute to relaxation, detoxification of the body and the preservation of the health and beauty of the skin. But, if mud baths have been heard and practiced for a long time, thalassotherapy still raises questions, and this procedure for health and beauty deserves the closest attention. After all, life on earth was born in the water. And according to legend, it was from the azure waters of the Mediterranean that the goddess of love and beauty emerged - Aphrodite. The life-giving power of sea water since ancient times not only healed, but also rejuvenated people, although only very recently people came up with this therapeutic power called thalassotherapy.
What is thalassotherapy?
The term "thalassotherapy" itself was put into circulation inIn 1869 the French doctor De la Bonadier. This word is of Greek origin: "thálassa" is translated as "the sea", and "therapei" is "therapy", that is, in essence, thalassotherapy means "treatment by the sea". Speaking in scientific terms, thalassotherapy is the climatotherapy section, which includes a whole range of climatotherapy procedures, such as staying in the sea air, sun treatment, air baths, and hydrotherapy procedures: sea bathing. Or, simply put, a complex of modern SPA procedures, which is based on the use of algae, sea water and sea air for cosmetic and medicinal purposes - this is thalassotherapy. Sea water is the source of many irreplaceable trace elements, such as iodine, manganese, bromine, selenium, zinc, phosphorus, copper, iron, potassium, sulfur, calcium, magnesium. Seaweed is the main therapeutic component of thalassotherapy, which has an amazing ability to compensate for biologically active substances that are lacking in the human body. It has been estimated that about 150 useful micronutrients include thalassotherapy: reviews of contented women are as numerous and convincing as the impact of all these substances. Today thalassotherapy is widely practiced in the most luxurious resorts in Italy, France, Switzerland, as well as the islands of Bali, Maldives and many others. It should be noted that the modern centers of thalassotherapy do not set as their main goal to cure any diseases, but are primarily aimed at combating stress, chronic fatigue, malnutrition and, of course, aging. One of the advantages of the thalassotherapy complex is also that it can always be combined with a summer vacation at the sea or, for example, to supplement your summer vacation with an autumn or spring thalassotherapy course.

It is even strange that a strong interest inThalassotherapy appeared not so long ago, because this complex is not the present invention of mankind. The healing and juvenile properties of sea air and sea water were appreciated by the ancient Romans and, to a large extent, Romans. It is not without reason that Plato himself wrote that "the sea washes away misfortunes and returns youth." In modern times, the first thalassotherapy was used by the French, who were not indifferent to their appearance. As a result, fashion for thalassotherapy courses soon spread among the entire French elite, and the first spa resorts appeared on the Cote d'Azur. Today, as already mentioned, thalassotherapy has become a very popular SPA procedure, which is available to almost everyone, only in France it will cost more than, for example, in Tunisia. But, unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity, and even the time to visit the spa-resort, for this compelling reason, cosmetology firms have modified the methods of thalassotherapy. Of course, it is impossible to transfer the sea with its curative climate, but you can concentrate the salts, extracts of algae and deliver sea water. This all in combination with wrapping, massage and hydrotherapy turns thalassotherapy into an affordable procedure for your beauty and health. Enough, visit the nearest SPA center.
