seaweed bath

Oceanic spa treatment

A seaweed bath is a spa treatment where you soak in water containing seaweed or seaweed extract, believed to soften skin and draw out toxins.

The practice originated in coastal Ireland, where bathhouses filled tubs with harvested kelp and saltwater.

We booked seaweed baths at a thalassotherapy spa in Galway.
