Mud bath therapy

The application of muds ripened with ferruginous-bicarbonate mineral water from Nuova Fonte reduces joint inflammations and loosens muscular contractions. The treatment allows a protracted painkilling action.

The thermal muds are a mixture composed of the Nuova Fonte mineral water and clay. The ripening of muds is a complex process which takes place, within a period of at least 6 months, in special mud basins.

The muds are applied at a temperature of 47-50°C for 15 minutes. After removing them a cleansing shower takes place and, possibly, a thermal bath. The cycle ends with the “reaction phase”, which is performed lying down for about 10 minutes.
