Mud baths have been known and used for thousands of years, but their mechanism is not fully understood. Mud therapy has been successfully used in the treatment of neurological, rheumatologic (osteoarthritis) and cardiovascular disorders, gynecological conditions (inflammatory and menstrual cycle disorders) and skin pathology (eczema, acne, psoriasis, dermatitis). We present recent data on the mechanism of mud baths and their clinical application.
