The positive effects of the blue ocean are well understood. Throughout history, saltwater healing has been practiced and documented. Whether it’s the teal blue color, the waves in our faces, or the connection with marine mammals, the ocean is the perfect antidote to help heal what ails you. Our documentary, SALTWATERx exemplifies what this means to people in need of the ocean, medicinally. We follow and interview the stories of different people going through a strenuous, grief-stricken time in their lives and demonstrate how the ocean helps to heal them. Medical experts will talk about and explain the importance of different forms of treatment to help individuals cope with life’s traumas. Their medical opinions weave throughout the four storylines and explain the physiological effects of using the ocean as a treatment modality. It’s a great form of medicine that acts as a preventative as well as an intervention and treatment for health-related conditions. In addition to its medicinal properties, the ocean provides mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, social gathering, connection to nature and many other positive influences.
