The mud of the Euganean hot springs detoxifies, reduces inflammation and thoroughly decongests, stimulates and oxygenates blood and tissues, bestowing energy and vitality.
Rich in trace elements, it is collected from the bottom of a small volcanic lake in the Euganean Hills, separated from impurities, left to mature in the hot spring waters in which sprouts a unique and natural microflora that determines its extraordinary properties.
The thermal culture in Abano is very ancient, the oldest in Europe, and was able to surpass empiricist methods for studying the efficiency of the raw materials through research and scientific proof. Abano is the largest example in the world of the prevention and cure of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, and of many articulation pathologies.

Mud application process

In order to tailor our mud therapy to each guest's individual needs, our Health Director will conduct an evaluation before starting treatment. This will determine the temperature of the mud and duration of application.

The mud is applied to the body gradually and will remain on between 15 and 20 minutes. It will then be removed and the guest will shower before being bathed in thermal water at a temperature of about 37 degrees C. for about 8 minutes. The guests are then dried with warm towels and led to their bed where they then experience a perspiration reaction and enjoy total relaxation for about 40 minutes. A thermal massage follows to intensify the relaxation induced by the mud therapy.

In summary, you will experience five separate steps that maximize the benefits of our mud therapy: application, cleansing shower, thermal bath, perspiration reaction and massage. The result of this therapy is a complete body tone-up of the muscular and nervous systems.
