“I find the ocean strangely therapeutic. It’s as if I share a deep spiritual connection with it. It could be because I practically grew up on the ocean. My dad was a marine engineer and me and my mom travelled with him on ships for years. Whenever I felt lonely or upset about something I would just stare at the ocean and eventually the sight of the shimmering blue expanse and the smell of the salty sea air would make me feel better. Even today, staring at the ocean refreshes me, relieves my stress and gives me peace. It’s vastness make me realise how small my problems are, compared to the bigger issues of the universe.
Research shows that the ocean has many healing properties. Sea water contains minerals needed by your body to heal and detoxify. It heals wounds, reduces infection and promotes pain relief. Conditions such as arthritis, psoriasis and depression are said to improve by swimming in the ocean. I would definitely prescribe vitamin sea to everyone. If you don’t live near the ocean, you can still enjoy its benefits by adding Epsom salts to your bath, using Himalayan salt lamps or visualising that you are on a beach while doing yoga or meditation.” – Tiya Gorain.
