Water, element of life
¾ of the planet is made up of water. Thanks to it, life on Earth began millions of years ago. Water is an essential element for life.
The 2/3 parts of water that our body contains have a mineral composition very similar to that of the marine environment.
It is a wonder of nature that our life also begins to develop in a sister element, such as the amniotic fluid that nourishes us during the 9 months of pregnancy.
We know that the concentration of mineral salts is the same in the sea (9 gr/l. water) as in the human body (9 gr/l. blood).
It is scientifically proven that if we filter seawater correctly, it becomes natural physiological serum. So much so, that we can inject it into the human body through a vein and it is perfectly accepted in the form of blood plasma.
Sea water can be ionized to convert it to the same degree of salinity as our tears and body fluids, then used as a drink.
Thus we see that human beings have an especially deep harmony and connection with seawater.
