Thalassotherapy is a special section of alternative medicine, treatment with sea climate and bathing combined with air baths. Hydrotherapeutic effects play an important role in this therapy: sea baths, showers with warm sea water, sea mud and algae pastes.

The word "thalassotherapy" was first coined by the French physician De la Bonadière in 1869. In 420 B.C. Hippocrates, Galean, Aristotle advised to take warm baths with sea water. The ancient Greeks and Romans were convinced that life originated in the sea. Therefore, they turned to the sea to restore strength and health.

When doctors scientifically proved that sea water helps in the treatment of diseases, in 1899 the French doctor Louis Bago founded the first thalassotherapy center in Roscoff.
