It is a natural therapeutic system that embraces three environments: the water of the sea (hydrotherapy), the marine air (aero-therapy) and the solar radiation (helium-therapy).
In these marine cures the water takes advantage as thermal source, being picked up to different depths to assure its purity, and it is applied to temperatures that oscillate between the 10ºC and the 40ºC. depending on the objective of the treatment. In many cases they are supplemented with pressure, bubbles or ultrasonidos.
The marine water is so beneficial that many professionals of the medicine they recommend to its patient walks for the bank of the sea to heal certain illnesses.

All those factors, contribute to that the water constitutes for itself an aesthetic resource besides therapeutic, vastly profitable.
The benefits that it has more than enough the skin have the talasoterapia or, what is the same thing, the sea bathrooms, not only owe you to the quantity of sodium chloride (salt); they also intervene the oxygen, the nitrogen, the carbonic gas, the iodine, the fluorine, the copper, the iron, the zinc...
The absorption on the part of the skin of all these elements is translated in a series of beneficial effects, as the improvement of the circulatory system. The sea bathrooms constitute a suitable therapy for those people that suffer problems of varixes and of circulation in general.
