Mud therapy is one of the hallmarks of spa therapy.
Mud contains minerals and organic compounds that treat a variety of ailments. In particular, mud is prescribed to those who have long-standing joint pain, weak immune systems, and who dream of getting rid of chronic ailments. Treatments at the AZIMUT Health Yantar sanatorium use peat mud from the Goreloye deposit, which has been used for medicinal purposes for over 100 years.
The complex effects of therapeutic mud on the body:
- Physical — the mud is heated to a certain temperature and retains the heat, providing a warming and therapeutic effect.
- Mechanical — application in a thick layer creates pressure on the skin, which stimulates receptors, activates blood flow, and increases tissue metabolism.
- Chemical — the mud components penetrate deep into the skin, providing a targeted therapeutic effect.
Mud therapy is prescribed as part of a comprehensive therapy aimed at relieving symptoms and accelerating recovery. When combined with other types of therapy, the effectiveness of the treatment process is significantly increased.
Procedure effects:
- Maintains metabolism.
- Improves blood circulation.
- Reduces swelling and pain.
- Cleanses and heals the skin.
- Healing effect on joints.
- Normalizes the tone of the neuromuscular system.
Therapeutic mud is a valuable natural resource, widely used in medicine due to its unique composition and therapeutic properties. The AZIMUT Health Yantar uses mud applications (partial application of mud to problem areas of the body) and intracavitary mud tampons.
The sanatorium also offers other types of treatment using unique natural factors, such as balneotherapy and amber therapy. Not only guests of the sanatorium, but also guests of Svetlogorsk can use the services of the medical center.
