Overview

Deep seawater bathing has no significant effects on plasma lactate and pyruvate levels or subjective judgment scores compared to surface seawater or tap water. Deep seawater may be the mildest water for the human body, suggesting potential health benefits.

Original Abstract of the Article :
The use of deep seawater (DSW) in thalassotherapy has begun in Japan. To clarify the health effects of DSW on the human body, we investigated the changes in plasma lactate and pyruvate concentrations, or subjective judgment scores, after bathing at rest in 9 healthy young men.

The Effects of Deep Seawater Bathing on Lactate and Pyruvate Levels

Ah, the therapeutic allure of deep seawater! It's like a refreshing oasis in the midst of a scorching desert. This research explores the physiological effects of bathing in deep seawater, specifically focusing on its impact on plasma lactate and pyruvate concentrations. The study involved 9 healthy young men who took baths in deep seawater, surface seawater, and tap water, all heated to 42 degrees Celsius.

Deep Seawater Bathing: A Mild Approach

The researchers found that bathing in deep seawater did not cause significant changes in plasma lactate and pyruvate concentrations, unlike the other water types. This finding suggests that deep seawater may be a gentler option for bathing, particularly for individuals seeking a therapeutic experience.

Potential Health Benefits of Deep Seawater

The study highlights the potential health benefits of deep seawater bathing. The higher concentrations of salts, such as sodium, nitrate-nitrogen, phosphate-phosphorus, and silicate-silicon, may have a positive impact on human health. However, further research is needed to solidify these findings.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This research suggests that deep seawater bathing may be a mild and potentially beneficial therapeutic approach. While further studies are warranted, deep seawater's unique composition could offer a refreshing alternative for those seeking a soothing and rejuvenating experience.
