What is “Thalassotherapy”?
Thalassotherapy is derived from the Greek word ‘thalasso’ meaning ‘sea’ and ‘therapia’ is derived from the Greek word meaning ‘treatment’. So ‘thalassotherapy’ is the use of the healing and beneficial properties of the sea and marine environments for the betterment of a person’s health and well being.
At a thalassotherapy center there are many diferent treatments like seaweed baths, seaweed wraps, marine mud masks, sea bathing and many others. Today our diets often lack minerals that we need to stay healthy. Thalassotherapy helps you get the minerals you need to keep balanced, vigorous health.
The easiest way for you to practice thalassotherapy is by just soaking your feet, or body, in the sea. This is one reason Prince Edward Island is such a healthy place because it’s surrounded in fabulous beaches where you can spend hours in the sea.
Our Salon is located right on the ocean and we are surrounded by gorgeous beaches – Tracadie beach, Blooming Point Beach, Stanhope, Dalvay – so a visit to our salon means a trip to the sea. But if you are too busy to make it to the beach remember that a simple bath with natural bath salts will do the trick as well!
