Thermal Mud Balneotherapy | How It Can Benefit You

In short, Mud Balneotherapy is a notably effective form of “Earthing.” In and of itself, earthing in any form has been shown to offer multiple benefits which support wellness. Submersion in thermal water- infused mud is a unique experience which shouldn’t be missed. 

In my travels to do research for my book, I have had the opportunity to visit multiple countries offering mud treatments. I found Northern Italy to have a uniquely regulated processing protocol of this natural healing resource. 

My favorite location is Abano Terme in the area near Venice. Scientific research has been done on the mud from the Euganean Hill region located close to this charming spa town. Based on the research, a patent has been issued in the European Union by Pietro d’Abano Thermal Studies center. The Center has identified the active ingredients naturally produced during the regulated mud aging process which takes about two months. The patent protects and guarantees the presence of these active ingredients naturally produced during the aging process when correctly regulated.

I have personally visited the mud aging areas in a number of hotels in the area and saw that the process is both well-respected and highly regulated.

Studies have shown the efficacy in treating chronic and degenerative inflammatory pathologies. In particular, those of osteoarticular origin seem to be the most popular for treatment and prescribed by local physicians.

After my visits to the Euganean thermal mud baths in Abano Terme, I noted a substantial reduction in joint pain along with an overall sense of wellbeing. For best results, treatments should be repeated, either annually or better yet, bi-annually. 

I prefer natural remedies over pharma any time. The experience of  “La Vita Bella” is not only an effective elixir for soothing the mind and spirit, but also a muse for the epicurean senses. Undoubtedly, this combination is a Regenerative Jumpstart for seekers of wellness.
