Benefits of thalassotherapy on health and beauty

‘Don’t worry, the sea heals everything,’ our grandmas and grandpas often said when we complained about a cold, a wound, pimples, fatigue, even bad moods or unhappy love. And it was true – everything was better after a week by the sea.

Healing powers of the sea have been known for centuries

The benefits of sea water, sea climate, sea mud and salt have been known since antiquity. The word ‘thalassotherapy’ comes from the Greek – thálassa means the sea. In the 19^th century, the beneficial effects of the sea started to be explored systematically, and thalassotherapy began to establish itself as a scientific method of treatment and beauty care. The sea is so special because it’s rich with minerals and living organism. Thalassotherapy can only be practised by the sea because its beneficial effects decrease with distance from the sea. Of course, the quality of the sea water and clean surroundings are of great importance as well.

Strunjan Bay offers all the ingredients for thalassotherapy

In Strunjan, an outstanding town in the Slovenian seaside area, you can fully enjoy the healing effects of the sea and thalassotherapy. Talaso Strunjan, a health resort and holiday paradise, is located right by the sea, on the sunny side of the bay, in the middle of a protected landscape park, and right next to ancient salt pans. Its excellent location combined with a mild climate with 2300 hours of sunshine a year, an abundance of pine trees and other fragrant Mediterranean vegetation – all this makes Strunjan a pleasant place to be all year around.

The location and natural features make it possible for the health resort to develop a holistic thalassotherapy approach based on the use of different sea elements: seaside climate, sea water and brine, sea mud (fango), seaweed and sea salt. If we add a Mediterranean diet to thalassotherapy and exercise by the sea, we can say that Talaso Strunjan really offers a holistic approach to health care, mood improvement and better quality of life. For this reason, Talaso Strunjan is one of the best Slovenian natural climate spas and thalassotherapy resorts.

Enjoy a break in this seaside paradise and feel reborn

Taking a break by the sea is like a balm to your heart. Swimming and walking along the bay strengthen the respiratory and locomotor systems and help with depressive thoughts, as well as detoxify, rejuvenate and relax your body and mind. Vitamin D strengthens the bones. The vicinity of the Strunjan salt pans is perfect for natural inhalation of healing brine. For patients suffering from chronic and frequent respiratory diseases or living in cities with polluted air, we offer additional inhalations of brine and medications using a machine, and a variety of other therapies.

The Strunjan Bay offers so many healing benefits that it’s fair to say that a holiday in this beautiful bay is a healing one. At Talaso Strunjan, we use the gifts of nature for healing, care and nutrition. In the most natural form possible. We only add our expertise, advanced health methods, a big heart and wide smiles.
