Mineral baths with Sea of Cortez salt are quite unique. The reason is that
Sea of Cortez salt is very special in its mineral content. A typical sea
salt has 98-99% NaCl. Sea of Cortez salt contains only 70-72% NaCl. The
other 30% represent 90 elements of Mendeleev periodic system, with many rare
and trace elements not available from food or elsewhere. During the water
bath procedure, these elements get dissolved in water and become accessible
for the body as ions via skin osmosis. 30 – 40 minutes bath may be
sufficient for delivering rare elements enough for several months.
Russian sauna, or banya, is a stand-alone wooden sauna, which
combines high temperature with humidity for the best effect on the body. For
the best effect, heat & humidity sessions intersect with cold water
submersions. In Santa Maria, our patients cool down in an ocean front
sea-water pool, with cold water buckets and showers. With its design
virtually unchanged for centuries, the banya is a highly enjoyable
healing and longevity procedure, perfect for the cardio-vascular system,
immune system activation, and metabolism boosting.
We built a series of sea water pools on the volcanic rock on the ocean
front. Safe swimmable and highly "instagramable", our pools are open
year-round and enjoyed by our patients and guests.
