Sea water washed the wounds, sores and cracks that have formed on human skin. The birth of today’s popular set of procedures “thalassotherapy”.
From the ancient Greek “Thalasso” means “sea treatment”, the treatment and recovery of heated sea water (the water is heated to 33-34C), seaweed and sea climate.
Properties of sea water
The therapeutic value of seawater is determined by the content of mineral salts and microelements, biologically active substances, plankton and microscopic algae. Due to the saturation of zooplankton of marine water has antibiotic and antiviral properties. The main objective of thalassotherapy is to supply the human body with the missing elements, such as calcium, iodine, potassium, sulfur. The therapeutic qualities of sea water are manifested at a temperature of 34C, so before use it is heated.
Sea water – a natural solution, which is in a balanced state when the toxicity of the individual salts is repaid others. The salty taste depends on the content of salt, a bitter taste forming magnesium chloride, sodium sulfate, magnesium.
Scientists have discovered that the composition of sea water and saline blood are similar, because billions of years ago all life originated in the ocean. A few decades ago the sea water used in medicine as a blood substitute, inserting intravenous ultraviolet irradiated seawater.
Sea water is rich in iodide of bromine (iodine-bromine), a substance used to treat disorders of the nervous system. Iodine-bromine contained in sea water at the optimum concentration and the rate of sea bathing can bring to life even the most Serganova citizen.
