MUD THERAPY

The therapeutic effects of the mud are obtained by

the application of “liman” or lagoon mud, a

homogeneus and dense mixture, black in color and

shining, that is similar to the Dead Sea black muds

for its beneficial effects. “Liman” is applied in a thin

layer called “mud shirt”:

 hot mud, at a temperature of 40° C

 cold mud, at room temperature.

After mud applications you can relax having a bath

in water containing sodium chloride, bromide and

iodide (“Acqua Madre”) to wich you can add ozone

and a hydro-massage to complete the treatment.

The therapeutic effects of this mud is enhanced by

lying on the sun terrace, thereby combining the

healing properties of “Mud Therapy” with the

beneficial effects of sunlight.
