Thalassotherapy is the treatment of illnesses by means of sea water.
In the Mar Menor, the waters have high levels of salt and are rich in magnesium, calcium, sodium, bromide, iodine, and fluoride. This makes them ideal for the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism, states of both physical and mental exhaustion, and many, many more.
In order to use it, all impurities are removed from the water which is then applied without ever surpassing 40ºC in temperature. The Centres of Thalassotherapy in the Region of Murcia offer technically advanced treatment with these waters by means of ozone bubbles and powdered sea-weeds, pressurised jets of water in heated swimming-pools, and hydromassage bathtubs, all under specialised medical control. Apart from this you can also try the therapeutic treatment which is based on the use of curative mud from the Mar Menor. These sediments contain a high percentage of calcium, magnesium, potassium, fluoride, chlorides and sulphates. Their use is highly recommended for many types of skin complaints, and their powers of heat conductivity also make them recommendable in cases of rheumatism, arthritis, gout and physiotherapy after bone fractures.
