Therapeutic mud applications, local and whole-body
A cool, still treatment using cleaned and prepared mud.
What it is
Cleaned, prepared mud is spread over the selected area, left in place for a set time and then washed away.
A local pack leaves the rest of the body uncovered, while a body pack extends the same prepared mud over a wider area. The application remains still rather than being massaged in; once the set interval is complete, the mud is removed with water.
Who it suits
- Those who prefer cool, still treatments.
- A local application to one area.
- A wider cooling body pack.
Check before booking

- Sensitive skin, eczema, active rash.
- Known allergies to specific minerals.
- Circulatory issues, easily chilled, low body temperature.
- Open wound on the area to be treated.
Before the session
Eat lightly. Note any skin sensitivity, allergy, rash or inflamed area. Wear easy-to-change clothing.
After
