Quinton water: benefits and advantages
The sea is the cradle of life on earth and is full of riches essential to our biological balance. Did you know that the composition of seawater is close to certain fluids in our body, such as blood plasma and interstitial fluid?
And did you know that it is possible to use this same sea water as therapy? Indeed, seawater is an incredible resource of minerals, electrolytes and trace elements, capable of supporting many vital physiological functions.2, 4
The role of minerals and trace elements
Minerals and trace elements are absolutely essential for the health of the body. Biochemistry would no longer function without them. There would be no cell division, no healing without zinc, no repair of collagen without manganese, etc. The effects are multiple!
Magnesium plays a mixed role. The body uses it as a support or catalyst, and its metabolism is closely linked to that of calcium, phosphorus and potassium, among others.1, 2
Minerals respond to vital physiological functions:
- Metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates
- Building bones, teeth and connective tissues
- Regulation of the heart and muscle contraction
- Maintaining cellular integrity and the immune system
- Regulation of the nervous system1, 2, 3
Quinton water as therapy in history
Quinton water has a long history. The benefits of hydrotherapy, balneotherapy and thalassotherapy treatments have been recognized since Antiquity.2
- Euripides said "the sea washes away all the ills of man"
- Plato wrote "the sea cures the diseases of men"
- Hippocrates recommended bathing in warm sea water2
René Quinton is the undisputed pioneer of marine cure (1904) using sea water. This French biologist and physiologist said that we were a real living aquarium.2, 3, 4
Quinton water
It was by exploring our internal organic environment (the blood plasma and lymphatic system, which constitutes half the weight of our body), that he discovered that sea water has a chemical composition very similar to blood plasma with these minerals and trace elements, which allows complete cellular regeneration.2, 5, 6 This way we can understand a little better how the use of quinton water can impact health.
Where does Quinton’s water come from?
Captured at a depth of 30 meters off the Brittany coast of France and in the Bay of Biscay, it lies at the center of what is called a planktonic vortex. The swirling water movements, generated by marine currents, bring a concentration of phytoplankton, rich in all minerals and trace elements: calcium, copper, iodine, lithium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, silicon, sodium, zinc...5, 6, 7
Quinton water is microfiltered and freed of all its impurities and becomes a living product, under the names of serum, Quinton plasma or marine plasma. It is sterilized and comes in different concentrations: either isotonic, that is to say diluted with distilled water in order to obtain a concentration equivalent to human plasma, or a hypertonic concentration, the pure version, with a higher concentration of minerals and trace elements, which allows optimization of the functioning of the cells of the human body and is used to restore the vitality of the body.2, 6, 7
It was in 1905 that René Quinton opened his own laboratory where he sterilized sea water and created “marine plasma” to make a therapeutic product. This company which began then still exists today.
In 1906, he inaugurated his first marine dispensary in Paris where he helped thousands of people of all ages to regain balance in their health.2
In short, this pure marine plasma provides in a balanced and assimilable way the full spectrum of minerals we need to maintain optimal health and functions.2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
The benefits of Quinton water on the body
Quinton sea water comes in ampoules or bottles, for internal treatment (isotonic and hypertonic).
Quinton water for internal use:
- Remineralizes, balances PH, supports nutrition and cellular detoxification
- Provides the full spectrum of minerals in a balanced and assimilable manner
- In ionic form, is highly bioavailable.2, 5, 6, 7, 8
In which cases should you turn to Quinton water?
- Mineral and trace element deficiency
- Aids digestion (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and vitamins)
- Night cramps
- Brings more restorative sleep
- Chronic fatigue
- Helps with intestinal problems such as constipation
- Help in times of stress
- Help in times of lack of appetite
- Support for the immune system
- Help in the case of various inflammations (eczema, tendinitis, back pain, knees, etc.)
- Prevents hair loss
- During sports training
- Osteoporosis
- Etc.2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Other examples of use of Quinton water
To be used as a food supplement, hypertonic quinton and isotonic quinton should be consumed in a specific order:
- Starting with intense and persistent fatigue, we will use hypertonic water in bottle or in bulbs and once the energy is regained, we will continue the treatment with isotonic water in bottle or in bulbs for more long-term treatment.8
- It has an anti-inflammatory action by harmonizing the acid-base balance, following poor nutrition or stress which leads to a more acidic and therefore more inflammatory environment. Sea water rehydrates and revitalizes the body.8
Quinton water for external use
Quinton sea water can be applied externally in the form of a compress on wounds or scars, on sprains, on skin problems such as eczema, on back pain or muscle pain (due to lactic acid after training).
Quinton seawater helps cells and tissues regenerate and rebuild.2, 3, 4
Actimar highlights Quinton water
The function of the nose is to filter, humidify and warm the air. However, this “filter” must be clean to be effective. A congested nose prevents you from breathing freely and can interfere with sleep, your diet, and can be accompanied by headaches and loss of smell, etc.2, 3 Quinton water is therefore also beneficial for helping breathing: it helps avoid nasal congestion!
The Actimar spray with isotonic sea water :
- Moisturizes the nasal mucosa effectively
- Disinfects impurities by washing
- Reduces inflammation and irritation of the nasal mucosa
- Supports nasal hygiene during periods of allergies and colds
- Allows daily hygiene2, 3
External use: applied locally (compress) to irritated or inflamed areas (eczema, psoriasis, etc.) 7, 8
Nasal hygiene: 1 to 6 times a day.
Quinton water treatment for fitness
Essentially Quinton water is consumed orally in the form of a drinkable ampoule or in a bottle to be diluted.
- Oral route : 2 ampoules 3 times a day for 3 weeks (keep the liquid for one minute under the tongue and swallow it).
- In bottle : 4 teaspoons 3 times a day
Isotonic or hypertonic treatment? Isotonic sea water for a maintenance treatment. Hypertonic seawater for an attack treatment.
The treatment can be repeated 1 to 2 times per year.7, 8
