Mud procedures not only treat but also help rejuvenate the skin
The name thalassotherapy has Greek origin and means “sea treatment”. Such treatment has been used for a long time. English physician Richard Russell wrote about sea treatment in his work in 1753. It can be said that this started the fashion for thalassotherapy. Today, “sea treatment” methods are widely used in the beauty industry, for example, mud therapy procedures are offered by the Health Workshop clinic.
And if in our country thalassotherapy is done by spa salons and beauty salons, abroad there are entire thalasso hotels. These are unique sanatoriums that widely use marine procedures: all kinds of grottos, pools with sea water, baths, saunas, and of course massage and treatment rooms. As in any sanatorium, upon entering a thalasso hotel, the patient's health condition is diagnosed by a doctor, who prescribes the necessary procedures.
It is difficult to call such a pastime treatment; it is rather a rest. But a week in such a hotel will bring anyone back to life.
What is thalassotherapy used for? There are many indications for using such procedures. If the patient wants to rejuvenate the skin of the whole body, normalize metabolism and blood circulation; strengthen the nervous system; get rid of headaches, including migraines; remove harmful substances from the body; restore strength; get rid of excess weight and cellulite – then they are prescribed thalassotherapy procedures.
The most important thing is that sea treatment is indicated for people with joint pain, rheumatism, arthrosis, arthritis. However, thalassotherapy also has its contraindications. It should not be used for any chronic diseases in the acute stage. Also, these procedures should be limited for such gynecological diseases as fibroids, mastopathy, endometriosis. For thyroid disorders, one should be careful with these procedures.
Although sea treatment has become mostly cosmetic procedures, it is necessary to consult a specialist before using thalassotherapy so that a pleasant pastime does not cause harm.
