Disclaimer: By definition, Thalassotherapy is the use of sea water and all the elements of the marine environment (seaweed, mud, sand, air, marine climate, etc.) for therapeutic purposes. It is always practised in a seaside environment in a specialized centre with medical monitoring. Like blood plasma, seawater contains up to 92 minerals and trace elements that are beneficial to our health. Our body has the capacity to absorb all of these natural elements because its mineral structure is very similar to the structure of seawater: this is called the remineralization of the body.
