Interview with the Thalasso-Doctor MR Dr. med. Regina Schwanitz
Every sojourn by the sea has an incredibly positive effect on the body and mind. The air by the sea is carried by the ocean wind and free of pollutants and allergens. Tiny small drops of sea water float in the air near the coast and cleanse your lungs. A bath in in the sea rejuvenates, purifies, heals, and nurtures the skin. Seawater contains a whole host of minerals that permeate into your body via your skin and even games and sports by the sea are fun – and make you thin as well. Excess weight is burned off, since proper exercise in the sea's climate optimizes fat burning, stimulating the excretion of toxins, and removing water.
