Seawater is steeped in healing history after French biologist Rene Quinton demonstrated that it was similar in composition and mineral concentration to human blood plasma. Soon afterwards Thalassotherapy Centres were popping up everywhere as a place to go to ‘cure’ many ailments with the use of seawater! What is really amazing about thalassotherapy is that because the body’s chemistry is so similar to that of seawater the balancing of essential nutrients occurs very easily. And these mineral concentrations are essential in activating vital body functions and proper functioning of the cells to preserve their integrity. The problem is the body cannot produce these vital trace elements and minerals and even the slightest decline in these important ‘featherweights’ can cause an upset in both body and skin balance.
