Let’s say you had a difficult month at the office and now your body feels slowed down with a sense of heaviness that you can’t quite understand… In that case you know where to go: the mud bath. But let’s complicate the scenario and add that you are not in a position to go to a SPA or a thermal facility. If this is the case, the only place to go is your bathroom. Here is what you should do: Fill your tub with warm water. In the meantime drybrush your body making sure that the brush moves from bottom to top, towards your heart. This rough massage will accelerate blood circulation and increase the therapeutic effect of mud. Take two cups of mud or clay and slowly pour into the water. Be careful not to inhale the steam. Gently stir the water with a wooden spoon, get into the bathtub and lie in there for at least 20 minutes. Another important thing to remember is to drink lots of water before and after. So what do our bodies get from taking regular clay or mud baths? Increasing blood circulation, detoxing the body, getting rid of dead skin cells and restoring your healthy and radiant skin.
