I’m sure we all used the term Saltwater therapy 🌊 but have you heard of thalassotherapy? If you feel better around saltwater, you’re not making it up

Spending time in or near salt water can offer various benefits for mental health, including reduced stress and anxiety, increased relaxation, and a potential boost in mood. The calming effect of the ocean, often referred to as the "blue space effect," is associated with improved overall well-being.  Ocean water's rich mineral content, like magnesium, can contribute to a balanced mood and reduce stress. 

🌊 Stress Reduction:
Being near the ocean can lower cortisol levels, the body's stress hormone, promoting relaxation and a sense of calm. 

🌊 Increased Relaxation:
The rhythmic sounds of waves, the vastness of the ocean, and the fresh salty air can have a soothing effect on the mind and body. 

🌊 Blue Space Effect:
Studies suggest that spending time in "blue spaces," such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, is associated with improved mental health and well-being. 

🌊 Physical Activity:
Activities like swimming or walking on the beach can further enhance mental well-being by boosting endorphins and improving cardiovascular health. 

🌊Mineral Content:
Salt water is rich in minerals like magnesium, which can help regulate the nervous system and reduce stress. 

So now what is Thalassotherapy?

Thalassotherapy involves using seawater and sea air in therapeutic practices, and it has been linked to improved symptoms in patients with certain skin conditions and inflammatory diseases.

🌊Salt Therapy:
Salt rooms, which mimic the environment of a salt cave, can offer a relaxing and calming atmosphere that helps reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue.

🌊Salt Liking and Mental Health:
Research suggests that liking salt taste can be associated with mental disorders like depression and anxiety. 

🌊Historical Perspective:
In the 18th and 19th centuries, English doctors prescribed ocean baths to treat conditions like "melancholy" and "spleen," which were considered to be linked to depression and mood disorders. 

You already knew the ocean healed something inside you, but now the data’s here to back it up, so whether you’re deep in a dawn patrol session or catching a few mellow peelers before sunset, you’re doing more than just scoring waves—you’re protecting your mental health.
