Did you know the ocean air in places like St. Thomas is naturally therapeutic? 🌬️💙
Here’s why your nervous system feels different here:
✨ Negative ions — Ocean air is rich in negative ions, which may help improve serotonin levels and calm stress.
✨ Salt particles — Breathing in sea salt aerosol can support respiratory health and ease inflammation.
✨ Blue space effect — Studies show water environments lower blood pressure and reduce fight-or-flight responses.
✨ Sensory reset — The rhythm of waves helps regulate the vagus nerve — your body’s relaxation switch.
So if you feel calmer, clearer, or more grounded near the ocean…
it’s not your imagination — it’s biology. 🌿🌊
