In our collective imagination, the idea of "mud" is usually related to bad weather, puddles and dirt.

Who would have ever thought that we could consider mud as a medicine?
This is the case of the mud we use in Abano Terme and inside the AbanoRITZ SPA, as it has a characteristic making it unique: it contains some micro-organisms which produce natural substances with a real, scientifically tested anti-inflammatory action.
 
What is the difference between using mud and normal medicines as anti-inflammatory remedies?
Above all, the effect you can obtain with a mud treatment endures for more time, resulting in a longer-lasting wellbeing.
Also, thanks to the fact that the National Health System reimburses the expenses for such treatments, the application of mud results in a lower intake of medicines, reducing the public health cost. Finally, we must not forget that a prolonged use of anti-inflammatory medicines, as opposed to mud therapy, can cause heavy collateral effects such as gastric-intestine disorders or possible reactions to other medicines.
