Thalassotherapy treatments and the benefits of marine elements

Thalassotherapy centres offer a variety of treatments, whether for a day, a weekend or a week-long all-inclusive stay. You can choose a relaxing moment with a couples’ massage or opt for packages combining several treatments. Whatever treatment you choose – a body massage, slimming massage or another treatment – marine elements are at the heart of the experience. You can enjoy the benefits of seawater, as well as those of seaweed and marine mud.

Seaweed, a key ingredient in thalassotherapy treatments

Seaweed offers a wide range of benefits. It is no surprise, then, that it plays an important role in thalassotherapy treatments. Seaweed is particularly known for its ability to:

• purify and hydrate the skin;
• reduce inflammation and associated discomfort;
• help detoxify the body and promote relaxation.

Seaweed can be incorporated into a variety of treatments, including body wraps, baths, facials and slimming treatments.

Marine mud, perfect for a relaxing body wrap

Marine mud comes from the seabed and is rich in vitamins, trace elements and mineral salts. It is known for its detoxifying and remineralising properties, while helping to soothe muscular and joint discomfort and enhance the appearance of the skin.
