Mud, a remarkable gift from nature, has been forming for over 2000 years through the gradual decomposition of organic plant and animal matter. Rich in beneficial microorganisms, minerals, and nutrients, this natural substance offers powerful therapeutic benefits thanks to its biological, thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties.
How Mud Therapy Works
When applied to the body, the heat and nutrients in the mud help boost circulation, allowing tissues and cells to receive more oxygen and essential nutrients. At the same time, the body accelerates metabolism, promotes detoxification, and activates both the immune and hormonal systems.
Mud therapy is widely known for its:
-
Regenerative effects
-
Relaxing and soothing impact
-
Anti-inflammatory properties
-
Reduction of swelling (oedema)
-
Natural pain relief
Because of its healing power, mud is sometimes used as an alternative to anti-inflammatory, sedative, or even anesthetic medications in certain treatments.
Important Notice: Medical Supervision Required
Mud therapy should only be performed after a consultation and approval by a qualified physician, particularly one specialized in your relevant health condition. This ensures the treatment is safe and suitable for your specific needs.
When Mud Therapy is Not Recommended
Mud applications should be avoided in the following cases:
-
History of heart attack (myocardial infarction)
-
Cancer, tuberculosis, or uterine fibroids (myoma)
-
Late-stage pregnancy
-
Conditions where increased blood circulation could worsen symptoms
