Mud & peat treatments
What it is
Application of warmed, mineral- and organic-rich therapeutic mud or peat as packs and full-body wraps. A form of peloid thermotherapy delivered under medical supervision within a balneological programme.
Who it's for
Guests with chronic osteoarthritis, rheumatic disease, chronic back and spine pain, and those recovering from orthopaedic surgery who benefit from deep, retained heat.
Expected results
Relaxed muscles, eased joint pain and stiffness and improved mobility that build over a course of applications.
How mud and peat therapy works
Therapeutic mud and peat (peloids) hold heat exceptionally well and release it slowly into the body. A warmed pack or wrap keeps a steady, deep warmth against the treated joint or the spine for far longer than a bath.
The sustained heat relaxes muscles, widens blood vessels and improves local circulation, while minerals and organic compounds in the peloid support the body's anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving processes.

Duration:15 minYour resident physician confirms suitability, checks heat tolerance and sets the application area, temperature and duration.
The mud or peat wrap

Frequently asked
Mud & peat therapy — your questions answered
Answers to the questions guests ask most before a mud or peat thermotherapy stay.
About the treatment
Both are peloids that hold and release heat slowly. Mud is mineral-rich sediment, while peat is organic; your physician chooses the one best suited to your condition.
The warmed pack is applied cleanly to the treated area and most guests find the deep warmth very relaxing. A rinse follows the treatment.
Your stay
No referral is required for a self-pay medical stay; you are assessed by our resident physician on arrival.
Typically 10–15 over a 2–3 week stay, tailored by your physician to your tolerance and diagnosis.
