Method of Mud Therapy:
Mud is usually taken from the river beds or from plain hills. The
Naturopathy practitioners make extensive use of the Mud in treating various
ailments. Usually Mud Therapy is done in two ways - Mud Packs and Mud Bath.
The Mud Pack is prepared by the clay obtained from about 10 cms below the
surface of earth, after ensuring that it does not contain any composite or
any pebbles. The clay is then mixed with water and a paste is made out of
it. This when cooled down is spread on a cloth which is then applied as per
requirement of the treatment.
In Mud Bath, the paste of the clay is applied to the entire body. A massage
is done and when the clay gets dried up its washed off with cleansing water
bath. The Mud Bath is useful for toning up the skin by improving the blood
circulation. The Mud Bath is especially useful in getting temporary relief
from rheumatic pain or pains caused by injuries or accidents. Usually the
duration of the bath is from 20 to 30 minutes.
The Mud Therapy also makes use of the Hot and Cold Mud Therapy. This
Therapy is helpful in reliving chronic pains, intestinal cramps and lumbago.
Others like amoebiasis, colitis, enteritis and other inflammatory conditions
of bacterial origin are also treated by the Hot and Cold Mud Therapy.
