The Canary Islands are bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, which is especially rich in sodium. They are some of the best thermal waters in the world and, due to the volcanic nature of the islands, they also have some of the best medicinal mineral properties.
This is why the Canary archipelago is the ideal place for thalassotherapy treatments, which consist of the use of sea water and other marine products such as seaweed and mud. These treatments, combined with being out in the open air and exposed to the rays of the sun, contribute to improving health. Thalassotherapy helps the detoxification of the body, improves the gastric and intestinal functions, stimulates circulation and reduces cardiac rhythm.
Besides, the quality of the sea water around the Canary Islands is excellent and their beaches are regarded as open air spas. This is why they have been awarded a large number of blue flags, the European eco-label which guarantees the water is clean and meets environmental criteria as well as certain other standards.
