 Hippocrates,
the Father of Medicine, was the first to discover the
therapeutic virtues of seawater by observing the
beneficial effects it had on the injured hands of the
fishermen. Prompted by the fact that the contact with
the seawater restricted infection risks, his medical
genius made him encourage his patients to follow
treatments involving the use of seawater even for pain
relief. It is by now known that thalassotherapy is an
effective treatment system that assists in the
rejuvenation of the cells using fresh heated seawater,
which induces an exchange of minerals and toxins between
the blood and the water.
 Already,
a great number of luxurious hotel units throughout
Greece feature most contemporary thalassotherapy and spa
centres, (Sanus Per Aqua, health through water) with
excellent equipment and well-trained personnel. They
include daily bathing in a heated seawater pool with
jets and other facilities such as hydro-massages,
aromatherapy or algae wraps. Thalassotherapy is the
associated and simultaneous use of the beneficial
effects of the seawater and its components, while the
sea algae impart many beneficial effects out of the
therapeutic virtues of seawater.
The
number of thalassotherapy and spa centers increases
every day, especially in the luxury hotels and resorts
in Greece. There is also a great number of luxury hotels
spa and welness spa hotels, that offer a variety of
beauty, welness and sport programs, with or without
thalassotherapy.
The
treatment programs at most hotels include a combination
of seawater, algae and mud, to maximise the benefit that
the human body can get from the marine environment.
Thalassotherapy has many more beneficial effects,
including relaxation, stress management, muscle and skin
restoration, even weight control. Most
importantly, it aims to improve health and it identifies
with the simultaneous implementation of a balanced and
healthy diet program.
Characterised by its dependable sunshine full of
bracing, restorative powers, Greece's coastal climate
contributes to the creation of an ideal environment for
the application of thalassotherapy treatment programs,
so as the greek thalassotherapy centers and spa in the
greek luxury hotels to be as good as those abroad. In
this way Greece will become a unique destination for
those who are interested in SPA HOTELS, WELNESS SPA
HOTELS, therapeutic tourism and health tourism in
general. |
