Tuesday, 21 October from 11.00 to 12.30 (am)
We are glad to announce the next online workshop of the Thalasso Working Group and the first speakers:
Dr. Marcus Wengel from Prof. Dr. Biener GmbH will speak about minerals in thalassotherapy. His presentation begins with the ocean — a rich source of minerals that can influence human health in many ways. He will focus on selected minerals and their benefits. Drawing on more than 60 years of expertise in marine minerals, his company successfully transforms this knowledge into medical wellness products.
Claudia Wagner from Fit Reisen will share her perspective and experience on thalasso health cures using natural remedies from the sea. For over 45 years, Fit Reisen has been creating and promoting healthy holiday experiences — from holistic and natural healing retreats such as thalasso therapy, to health spa hotels that integrate the latest advances in modern spa medicine and medical wellness.
Silke Lambert, a PhD researcher at Ghent University, collaborates with the Blue Growth Research Lab to investigate how exposure to coastal environments can support physiological health. Her research aims to expand our understanding of the mechanisms behind these effects. The title of her presentation is: “The Sea on Prescription: Investigating the Link Between Sea Spray Aerosols and Human Health Benefits.”
Stay tuned for more information! Registration will open in September.
The Thalasso working group, a collaborative effort between ESPA and Staatsbad Norderney, is dedicated to the advancement and professionalisation of Thalassotherapy within the health and lifestyle sector. Led by Marlies Sobczak from the Netherlands and Mr. Wilhelm Loth, Staatsbad Norderney, the group aims to integrate Thalassotherapy more closely into European healthcare practices. Emphasising the benefits of a seaside location and a healthy maritime climate, the group focuses on innovation and sustainability under medical supervision.
