Fango - healing mud with scientifically proven effects

Fango, a natural healing mud, has been valued for centuries for its health-promoting properties. Whether to relieve pain,improve circulation or promote mobility - the areas of application for mud packs and baths are many and varied.

With this collection of studies , we would like to show you which therapeutic effects of mud have been scientifically investigated and confirmed. Numerous studies have proven the effectiveness of mud treatments for knee osteoarthritis: in addition to noticeable pain relief, a reduction in the consumption of medication has also been demonstrated. Research results also show that mud packs and mud baths can bring significant improvements in rheumatoid arthritis, hand arthrosis and chronic back pain.

One particular study investigated the promotion of blood circulation through mud and confirmed its positive effect on the blood vessels. Equally promising is the treatment of symptoms of atherothrombotic diseases, which resulted in a safe and effective treatment.

The variety of applications for which the effect of fango has been scientifically proven make fango an effective and gentle method of relieving pain, promoting mobility and increasing general well-being.
