Algotherapy
Algotherapy is a seaweed bath similar in form to thalassotherapy, which is
the use of sea products to detoxify, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, giving
the skin back its radiant appearance that often fades with time, like flowers
in the autumn. In Algotherapy thin layers of heated seaweed are applied to a
persons skin and infra red lamps are used to maintain the seaweed temperature.
Seaweed has the ability to concentrate a wide range of minerals and trace elements
that are vital for the synthesis of enzymes, vitamins and hormones and the working
of human cells. Primarily brown seaweeds are used in Algotherapy. After being
washed and rinsed they are processed and preserved to retain all their active
ingredients.
The function of Algotherapy is to reduce pain and act as an anti-inflammatory
procedure.
