The Secret Behind Ocean Therapy

The Secret Behind Ocean Therapy

Want to know the real secret behind ocean therapy?

Spending time near ocean sprays, waterfalls, and in nature has remarkable benefits due to the presence of negative ions. These negatively charged particles increase plasma levels in the body, enhancing mitochondrial function, which is essential for energy production in our cells. Improved mitochondrial function boosts brain activity, strengthens the immune system, and supports nervous system health. By immersing ourselves in natural environments, we allow our bodies to heal and rejuvenate, leveraging the powerful healing properties of negative ions.

There’s evidence now to show that being near the ocean can help reduce stress. It’s a more predictable environment where we know what to expect. The ocean waves crashing against the shore, water ripples, and a cascading waterfall are predictable. It’s more healing than a busy city or a corporate environment. Healing Waves Ocean Therapy says, “A 2006 study found that spa bathing significantly reduced levels of salivary cortisol in college students. Other studies have found that hot tubs and five-minute hot showers can measurably lower anxiety levels. And hydrotherapy was shown to help reduce the psychological stress and physical symptoms of a group of 139 people with rheumatoid arthritis.” Wallace J Nichols 2015.

Ocean therapy is relatively new, and while there are other ways to reduce anxiety and boost mental health, ocean therapy is a great option to try. Visit the ocean more often or go hiking to see some waterfalls – and you’ll find yourself calmer and happier.
