■
It is a
completely
natural
treatment made
from the four
elements of
nature: Earth,
Air, Fire, and
Water.
■
It is a therapy
known since the
ancient Roman
times, testified
by the ruins of
Roman thermal
baths that
visitors can see
in Montegrotto
city centre.
■
It is
DOC-matured and
has received
“pharmaceutical”
recognition
because, as
such, it helps
to fight pain.
More than
standard
medicine, it
improves
symptomatolology
and the
physiological
conditions for
those who
undergo a cycle
of mud therapy.
■
It is
particularly
recommended for
painful
symptomatolology
such as
rheumatoid-arthritis,
osteoporosis,
and for many
pathologies
connected to
joint
articulation.
A thermal mud
therapy cycle of
at least six
consecutive
treatments
(10/12 cycles
are more
desirable)
produces the
following
beneficial
effects on the
organism:
■
stimulates the
production of
endorphins,
which raise the
pain threshold
(equal amounts
of pain can be
withstood with
greater ease);
■
stimulates
reconstitution
of cartilage
between joint
articulation;
■
thanks to the
heat released on
the body, it has
an myo-relaxing
and
decontracting
effect;
■
it has a
purifying effect
because it helps
expel toxins,
and represents a
light
peeling/face
pack for skin
over the entire
body.
The main
counter-indications
are for those
who suffer from
heart
conditions,
serious vascular
conditions,
hypo- and
hypertension.
For such
reasons, each
thermal center
is under the
responsibility
of a thermal
doctor health
director who
alone prescribes
the method and
time of each
treatment
session,
following a
medical check-up
to permit access
to thermal mud
bath therapy.
