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.
