Hungrian Mud

[dude xyx]

I was watching "The Doctor's" yesterday and they where doing a segment on Hungrian Mud as way to help people in pain. A Chiro was on talking about it and used it on a patient who had been in a car accident and had only 25% ROM and he put the mud on her and after the mud was taken off she was at 90% ROM.

Has anyone here used this stuff on clients???

Hungrian Mud

I have not specifically worked with Hungarian mud, but other types of mud. The great thing about using the mud for spot treatments is you don't have the time constraints and mess involved with a full body mud mask. Just apply to the affected area, leave it on for 15 minutes (I believe within a couple of minutes the skin is already absorbing minerals) remove with a hot towel, and apply massage to the area as needed. Muds can also boost your retail, as it is a spot treatment the client can do at home.



I found this tidbit here: Benefits of using spa (Fangotherapy, Thalassotherapy, etc.)

Fangotherapy combines the use of mud, peat and clay for healing purposes of various disorders. These materials have the property of preserving heat and have positive impact on the blood circulation, detoxification, as well as relieving pains and injuries. Some types of fango have also anti-inflammatory effect and help against soft-tissue ailments. The clay benefits on the skin through drawing out the impurities and supporting the natural exfoliation, after which the skin is left smooth and gentle. Peat and mud soften the skin’s texture, normalize its Ph and that is why the fangotherapy is suitable both for dry and oily types of skin.

& this bit of info from: http://www.massagetherapy.com/articles/index.php/article_id/1389/Fangotherapy-Fun

Fangotherapy is the use of mud, peat, and clay for healing purposes (fango is the Italian word for mud). Fangotherapy first gained popularity in the early eighteen-hundreds in Europe where it was, and still is, used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal and skin conditions. Fango treatments have been used successfully on such conditions as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, endocrine imbalance, immune disorders, fibromyalgia, muscular pain, pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchitis, acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, chronic dry skin, and scars.

All types of fango have heat-retention properties and can be warmed up and applied to the skin to stimulate and improve circulation. This aids nutrient and waste exchange, opens follicles, and improves the elasticity of skin. Apart from the common effect of increased circulation, clay, mud, and peat each have different therapeutic properties and uses.

I get my marine fango from SourceVital, that is where I got training for the body wraps. You have to register to buy, even to see the professional pricing, and provide proof of certification.
