Pelotherapy
is the mud therapy so highly demanded and popular procedure. The name of the procedure
comes from the Greek word «pelos» to stand for mud.Natural mud
has been used from ancient times to heal various diseases. The use of mud goes
back to the time when human beings lived in caves and that was the most
effective means. The tribe living on the mud territory was like the owner of
the planet. There is a myth about the ancient battle where a small and a weaker
tribe were struggling against the stronger tribe of conquerors. Finally, after a week of wars, the conquerors
escaped frightened since it seemed that the killed warriors get alive the
following day and go to struggle again. In fact, the killed warriors could not
get alive definitely though the wounded got healed effectively with the help of
the healing mud which was the most valuable and major property of the tribe.
The sin is
rejuvenated with the help of the mud, it gets smooth and elastic and young.
Cellulite escapes when mud therapy is used regularly. The inflammation process and disruptions are healed
and the affected nerve ends are rehabilitated. The salts disposed in joints are
removed, the impairment is gynecology with women and urinary tract diseases with
men are effectively healed with only mud therapy.
Mud is applied in various techniques.
It is used as component of mud
baths or just applications. It its turn,
mud baths can be for general purpose when mud is applied to the entire body
except for the neck and heart areas. The other approach is local procedure when
the mud is spread onto the loin and upper extremities or the mud is applied as
the pants to the area of buttocks, groin and thighs. The other techniques are
when the mud is spread to the area of the «glove», «boots» and so forth
depending on the particular health problem.
General mud
baths are applied rarely, too rare than local baths or applications. Suchignorance with general bath is easily explained.
Such bath is not required or the

Thus, the mud bath enables enlarging of the fine vessels of the skin, improvement
of metabolism process, decrease in labiality of vessels and so forth though
there are some adverse effect of this therapy including arrhythmia which is
prohibited or people suffering from tachycardia (rapid heart beating with impairment
of rhythm in most cases) and other cardio-vascular disorders. The mud therapy may

you go into the mud to enjoy and rehabilitate, you’d better seek the advice of
the doctor to have the prescription with favor for the organism.

particular disease. So, sapropel (silt sediments at the bottom of the fresh

nourishes and moisturizes and evens the cellulite folds. Sulphide silt mud deposited
at the bottom of salt lakes and sea estuaries render bactericidal effect,

tissues, cause anti-microbial effect and relieve allergic skin reactions. Peat
mud is used as the debilitants and in treatment of the disorders with musculoskeletal
system.

skin cover due to it. Also the brown algae containsplenty of iodine, it
is the champion in iodine content. This alga is often recommended in
treatment of thyroid
dysfunctions, though there are some diseases when iodine is not scarce
but, on the
contrary, it is plenty of it in the organism. And the attempt to
improve the health
with wrapping in brown algae may bring to some unpleasant results. When
you
consult with the doctor beforehand, you may avoid such situations and
get the
anticipated effect of beautiful, young and healthy skin.
As any
other health improving procedures, every alga has its purpose. So, fucus

removal of toxins and waste from the organism. This alga contains vitamins C
and E and it shares with them willingly. Laminaria stimulates the general metabolism
process and impacts to some endocrinal glands, like thyroid gland. It rehabilitates
the skin cells and is often used in programs to treat obesity and cellulite. Deep-water
