In Naturopathy, care is given to cure the disease and eliminate its root from the body. In this medical system, different diseases are treated using the things found in nature. One such treatment method is Mud Therapy, which is a panacea treatment for many diseases.

Soil is one of the five main elements of nature, the use of which helps in improving health and curing disease. Mud therapy is used to get soil from 3 to 4 feet deep in the ground. It is cleaned thoroughly before use so that there is no stone or any other kind of inaccuracy in it.
Soil therapy has many advantages. With its help, it helps in curing many diseases like body heat, headache, indigestion, high BP. If you have a headache, apply mud on the forehead by mixing soil with water. Let it sit for about half an hour, it will give you instant relief in headache.
If you have problems of indigestion or constipation, apply mud pack on the stomach. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Your stomach related problems will go away with frequent use. It is said that Mahatma Gandhi also used to resort to mud therapy to keep his stomach fit.

Many people have body heat problems. In this condition they experience burning sensation in hands or body. The best way to overcome this problem is mud therapy. The soil absorbs body heat, causing the person to experience instant relief.
Soil absorbs the toxins from body, it cures skin related diseases. The problem of long-standing skin allergies can also be overcome through mud therapy.
Very interesting way of treatment. Never heard before but seems to be really useful. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE mud therapies and find it utterly sensual to roll around in silty silky mud. I think the REASON it's connected with health is partly the high mineral and clay content (super detoxing) and also the probiotics we inevitably inhale and ingest during the process.
