Water Therapy in Athens

Water Therapy in Athens

Water Therapy (or better known as "Thalasso Therapy" or "Hydro Therapy") was first discovered by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. He realized the virtues of seawater by observing the beneficial effects it had on the injured hands of local fisherman.

Inspired by the fact that the contact with the seawater restricted infection risks, his medical prowess made him encourage his patients to follow treatments involving the use of seawater even for pain relief. It is by now known that thalasso-therapy 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.
