I know how fortunate I am living by the sea. I always sing the praises of the benefits of the ocean water. I feel my best during the warm months when I can bask in the vitamin D infused sunshine and soak in its mineral filled oasis.
The benefits of sea water are endless. And, if you're wondering why you don't feel the same after a good pool soak, well, you're probably allowing too much chlorine into your delicate system.
Sea water is good for your mood, and it will boost your health. The only thing that sea water does not do is hydrate our body. But that is not even a downside compared to the benefits.
Sea water can be a natural drug and medicine. It stimulates our body and promotes the feeling of well-being that surfers very well know. If you live by the beach or spend a lot of time in coastal areas, you know how receptive we are to sea-sprayed shores.
So, what does sea water contain? On average, sea water has 3.5 percent of salt (sodium chloride). In other words, for one liter of water, you get 35 grams of salts. And then, small parts of magnesium, sulfate and calcium.
Although still not scientifically proven, thalassotherapy uses sea water and sea-based products made from algae, marine salt, mud, seaweed, and ocean water to eliminates skin problems.
But salt water has many other surprising benefits:
