Mud is a symbol for the earth (earth), one of the elements of the five elements. It is regarded as some early universal knowledge to cure disease and restore health. In naturopathy, moist earth is used properly and scientifically to benefit the body from the inside out. An important part of nature is mud. It has significant mineral content that benefits human health. Mud is extremely beneficial in preventing many diseases as it can absorb toxins from the human body. Additionally, it has a reputation for being therapeutic. Because it can hold moisture for a long time, it assists in cooling and relaxing the body. The earth, or mud, and its advantages are widely discussed in the Vedas. In the Vedas, several approaches and treatments for the disease are described. According to legend, one of the best treatments ever was and is clay. Soil, or earth, is one of the five elements that make up this universe, and it is essential for our survival. The therapeutic properties of mud come from its dark color, which helps to absorb different colors and transfer them to the body. Additionally, simply by changing the water content, its shape and stability can be easily changed, making it easier to use. Unlike cold compresses (cold water therapy), a mud pack maintains coolness for a long time. As a result, it is advisable whenever prolonged freezing application is required. Finally, it is a convenient and affordable treatment option.

How to prepare the mud pack?
The soil that is found 10 centimeters underground is used to make clay packs. It is ensured that the sludge is free of debris such as pebbles, compost or other impurities. To make a smooth paste, it is poured into hot water. To cool the mixture, it is allowed to stand before spreading it in a cloth strip of different sizes. Generally, black soil from areas near water sources is considered suitable for soil therapy. A cloth strip is filled with cold mud to form a strip. The affected area of the body is covered with it and covered in a protective material, such as flannel. Soil packs for adults can be about 20 x 10 x 2.5 cm in size. Depending on the needs of patients, the dimensions of the soil treatment fabric should change. Thus, the area of the body that needs to be treated should first be foamed for about 5 to 10 minutes until it is sufficiently warm. Depending on the required reaction, the soil is applied directly to the affected area for 5 to 15 minutes.
How to prepare a clay bath?
Clay baths involve covering the entire body with a special type of soil that is rich in minerals and natural salts (except the head). Many skin conditions, including psoriasis, hives, and leukoderma, can benefit from clay baths. After the massage, the dried soil is removed with a cleaning water bath. Better blood circulation from clay baths helps to tone the skin. Mud baths are particularly helpful for providing momentary relief from rheumatic aches or pains caused by accidents or injuries. The average bath lasts between 20 and 30 minutes.
