7 Days – Locomotor and Muscular Apparatus Pathologie

This program has focused on mud therapy. Mud consists of a mixture of a solid component (clay) and a liquid component (thermal water). The pH is alkaline and has an extremely low cooling index. The mud is kept soaked in special mud pools for about a year before being used. In such locations, the salty-sulphate-alkaline water supply with a strong salt concentration, rich in hydrogen sulfide and with an average temperature of 34 degrees, continuously mixes the deposited mud, imbuing it with salt components, directly from the Leopoldina spring. The application temperature of the mud is 47 degrees. Following the mud application, one will spend time in a Roman bath with Leopoldina water at 38°. The complex mechanism behind the effect of therapy is due to the synthesis of the thermal, metabolic and neuroendocrine effects that give the following curative effects: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxant. If one does not want, or it should be contraindicated with mud applications, one can choose therapeutic massages to relieve pain and muscle tensions

Conditions: fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, chronic arthritis, subacute arthritis, acute arthritis, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, lumbar pain, neck pain, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Thermal inhalations improve as well as inflammatory conditions caused by cigarette smoking and environmental pollution.
