Wellness & spa treatments in Dithmarschen
So erlebst du hier echte Erholung
A walk along the North Sea dyke in wind and weather in the healthy stimulating climate alone leaves room for reflection and dreams, and the mind finally has time to rest. Active relaxation is the keyword here. The vastness of the sea and the seemingly endless horizon free you from the confines of everyday life. You can complement this with wellness and health services in the health centres and wellness facilities and mix your own personal relaxation cocktail.
Health from the sea: Thalasso
Derived from ‘Thalassa’, the Greek word for sea, Thalasso stands for a variety of healthy treatments in the medical and wellness sectors. Whether you are looking for a spa treatment or simply a short break, almost every desire can be fulfilled here. Thalasso treatments restore balance to body, mind and soul.
The fantastic 5: health from the sea
The air, the sea, the salt, the mud and the seaweed – together they form the Thalasso quintet. Five elements are all it takes for a genuine Dithmarschen health cocktail that revitalises body and mind.
Sea air:
Our North Sea air is particularly healthy as it contains condensed seawater, which is then absorbed through the respiratory system and skin. This not only strengthens the respiratory tract but also deepens breathing in the long term. At the same time, this air is hardly polluted by pollen or dust particles: a clear health benefit.
Seawater:
Seawater helps the body from the inside and outside. It detoxifies, revitalises and remineralises the body and has a positive effect on the skin and digestion. The salt mixture in seawater is largely identical to that in human blood and can therefore be easily absorbed and processed by the body. In thalassotherapy, it is used to treat stress-related complaints such as burnout, fatigue, nervousness and insomnia.
Sea salt:
Sea salt is a real all-rounder. Its ingredients have revitalising, anti-inflammatory, purifying, moisturising and antibacterial effects. It is mainly used to rid the skin of toxins, improve blood circulation and regulate the pH value of the tissue.
Sea silt:
Sea silt contains ten times more minerals than sea water. It consists mainly of fine-grained clay. Due to its fine consistency, sea silt is particularly malleable and very pleasant on the skin. In addition to its anti-inflammatory and anti-itching properties, sea silt has a detoxifying effect and promotes blood circulation. Silt packs store heat optimally and are used for muscle relaxation. In the cosmetic field, sea silt is used to treat blemished skin as it has a very deep cleansing effect.
Seaweed:
No other natural product is as rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and trace elements as seaweed. Seaweed is used internally and externally in thalassotherapy. It improves nutrient supply, promotes blood circulation, has a positive effect on the intestines, supplies the skin with energy and protects it from environmental influences.
