The Origin of Thalassotherapy

The principle behind Thalassotherapy is that repeated immersion in seawater, marine mud, and protein-rich algae helps restore the body’s natural chemical balance. When immersed in seawater, the body absorbs the minerals it needs through the skin: trace elements of magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium and iodide. The use of seawater for therapeutic benefits dates back to the Romans, who also loved soaking in hot mineral springs. Modern thalassotherapy was pioneered in France, which continues to have more thalassotherapy spas than any other country.
