Making most of living on the coast

 Thinking about how to get the most out of living by the sea I am reminded of the long history the sea holds to contributing to our health and well being.Almost 500 years before birth of Christ Hippocrates encouraged his patients to bathe in warm sea water. He noticed fishermen who had injured their hands after soaking in warm sea water they had few infections. The warm sea water releases toxins between the blood and the water restores the balance of minerals in the blood.
                           
                             
I remember how my father used to heat up sea water for a foot bath. we gladly don't need to go to an exotic spa to get this treatment a trip to Huaxley and a quick warm up in the lobster pan...just the ticket!
The seawater has potassium for all over energy and iodine as a natural anticeptic.
We have records that Henry 111 bathed in the sea to heal scabies and in 1791 John Lathan opened the first seaside hospital.
In 1750 an Englishman named Russell published a work which enjoyed great popular success. In it he wrote" One should drink sea water, bathe in it and eat every product of the sea" on that bomb shell I am off for a Guinness!!!!!!!!!!!
