Sea water has disinfecting properties due to iodine and sulfur. It also contains a huge amount of other minerals that also help fight skin diseases.
UV radiation also contributes to this. In people who live near the sea and often swim in it, dermatological diseases are much less common.
Thalassotherapy (treatment with sea water and air baths) is also recommended for diseases such as psoriasis. Most patients feel improvement. Moreover, they are preserved for a long time.

Vacations to the sea used to be a standard solution for the treatment of tuberculosis.

Bronchial asthma, sinusitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis are diseases that are much milder among residents of the sea coast and are generally extremely rare.
