Mud & Heat Therapy

Mud and heat therapy uses mud packs, hot or cold applications and fomentation for local relief of pain, stiffness and inflammation. Many people find them soothing, but strong evidence for specific disease cure is limited.

Avoid heat over wounds, areas with poor sensation or inflamed joints, and use only clean, cleaned mud.
