 Thalassotherapy is an ancient healing treatment dating back 5000 years and is based on the natural healing properties of seawater. The word itself was coined in 19th century France from the Greek "thalassa" meaning sea or sea goddess and "therapeia" meaning healing. In the mid 1800’s royalty, along with the rich & famous of the time would travel to France to ‘take to the waters’ as it was known, experiencing a warmed ocean water bath with raw seaweed found in abundance off the shores of France. Today, those healing ocean water therapies can be experienced at Grail Springs with our thalassotherapy facial, foot & body treatments offering raw & certified organic seaweed skin & body care products from Seaflora’s ocean garden in the cool & clean Pacific Ocean. Thalassotherapy is used as a balancing treatment which benefits the connection between mind & body while focusing the attention on well being & relaxation. Many positive benefits include reduced stress, reduced inflammation, reduced muscle soreness, mineral absorption which helps relieve chronic conditions including arthritis, psoriasis & eczema.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agree that 75% of cases of chronic illnesses have a major lifestyle component. Heart disease, diabetes, many cancers, arthritis, just to name the majors, are drastically affected by lifestyle choices we make......diet, level of physical activity, smoking & alcohol use.
We are not always innocent victims falling prey to these epidemics. Rather, if we take ownership of our behavior and modify our lifestyle we can often stave off or arrest further progression of these intimidating diseases.
Obesity and smoking are the most deadly, yet the most reparable of all lifestyle risk factors. Lifestyle fitness in Toronto is all about good old healthy eating, exercising regularly, stop whining and looking for excuses and accept responsibility for our actions. Many of us are very busy with a stifling number of obligations upon us and our time is almost an extinct resource.
We all have to learn to weave fitness into our hectic lives…and yes...it is possible. The commitment of this blog is to enable your lifestyle to evolve into one where healthy living is a determining factor in the choices you make.
