mud therapy- mud bath



Mud baths are similar to mud packs, but cover the entire body.

• Mud or clay is ground, sieved and then mixed with hot water to make a smooth paste.

• The paste is spread on a sheet and wrapped round the body.

• One or two blankets are wrapped over this.

• A mud bath is followed by a warm water bath or a short cold shower.

• Mud bath increases circulation, tones and energizes the skin tissues.

• The duration of the bath ranges from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
