People have reported feeling good around salt water for centuries, and there’s a name for it: Thalassotherapy. Thalasso (Greek word for Sea) Therapy: eases everything from sore muscles to stress to neurological issues to depression. Thalassotherapy is simply being near, interacting with, or submersing yourself in the ocean (salt water), rubbing salt-laden mud or seaweed onto your skin, or inhaling sea mist to improve quality of life.
The Ocean is a Healing Tool
Experiencing thalassotherapy leaves one feeling relaxed, with less pain and softer skin. You can have a thalassotherapy treatment with seaweed in a bath or hot tub, and you don’t have to go to the ocean to do it! It is SO easy! Just run a warm tub, add your seaweed (I like Turkish Towel and Kombu together ), put any additions you want into the water like Epsom salts, essential oils or bath bombs, and soak for as long as you would like. I LOVE to rub the seaweed onto my skin as it gets softer, and it leaves a beautiful silky film on the skin that is very hydrating.
Several studies have examined the effects of thalassotherapy on chronic health conditions and have concluded that disease severity and quality of life significantly improved for those with psoriasis and fibromyalgia. Salt water improves electrolyte balance and absorbing sodium and chloride through the skin can possibly slow the death of skin cells.
