Mineral bath
Mineral baths have on the body at the same time mechanical, thermal and chemical effects. Mechanical due to hydrostatic effect, which improves blood microcirculation in the body. The warmth of mineral water warms up internal organs, improves metabolism, and has an analgesic effect. Chemicals contained in mineral water (and this, as a rule, iron, bromine, boron, silicon, sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium) affect the skin reflexively, irritating nerve endings, and humorically, that is, penetrate the skin, saturating blood. In addition, the patient, while in the bath, inhales the vapors of mineral water, which are useful from the point of view of the effects on the respiratory organs.

Mud applications
Mud applications are the imposition of a layer of therapeutic mud (silt 4-6 cm, peat 6-8 cm) on different parts of the body, depending on the doctor's prescriptions in the localization of the pathological process. Usually the temperature of the mud is 38-42 degrees Celsius. There are several types of mud applications: "collar" (overlaying a layer of dirt on the collar area), "panties" (on the groin), "socks", "gloves". There are 3 phases in mud therapy. The first is the reflex phase, when the dirt acts on the skin receptors and it is through them that the central nervous system is affected (the central nervous system is responsible for the self-regulation of important vital processes in the body). The second phase is neurochemical, when biologically active substances are synthesized in the body, their circulation in the blood. The third phase is the reaction to the effects of therapeutic mud: the blood supply to various tissues and organs improves, the absorption of oxygen increases, the products of inflammatory processes (harmful substances, slags) are removed from the body, the protective mechanisms of the body are activated. The third phase is the longest of all (from 2 to 24 hours). Since mud applications are accompanied by less overheating of the body, put less stress on the cardiovascular system, they are more easily tolerated than mud baths.

Mud bath
Mud baths are usually carried out on the basis of therapeutic peat mud with a temperature of 36-38 °C. Mud baths, in order to avoid excessive load on the body, should be carried out every other day. Therapeutic mud acts on the skin, and also penetrating through it, saturates the body with chemicals. Heat from the mud warms up the internal organs, which contributes to the flow of blood to them, inhibits the activity of the central nervous system. Mud bath reduces muscle tone, reduces blood pressure, reduces pain, removes pathogens from the skin, eliminates inflammatory processes. I especially want to note that when medicinal mud is mixed with mineral water, it leaches out, that is, minerals are released from it more actively, which enhances the therapeutic effect.

This procedure also nourishes the body with oxygen, eliminates oxygen deficiency in tissues, which is present in a number of diseases. Pearl baths stimulate blood circulation, accelerate the resorption of inflammatory processes, relax muscles, eliminate cramps, reduce pain in the musculoskeletal system, accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body.
