A handful of fango mud

Study on achieving better blood circulation with mud therapy

Julian Lukanov, André-Michael Beer

February 2022

Fango treatment

Peat & healing mud

Mud packs and baths have been known for centuries for their relaxing and pain-relieving effects.

This in-vitro study deals with the question of whether volcanic mud also contains biologically active substances in addition to the proven physical-thermal effects.

For this purpose, smooth muscle cells from the stomach of guinea pigs were bathed in aqueous fango extract and examined for spontaneous contractile activity (SCA). The addition of fango was shown to activate the cells, presumably by stimulating α2-adreno- and D2-dopamine receptors. Indirect evidence for this was provided by the addition of receptor blockers. These suppressed the stimulating effect.

It can be concluded from the results that volcanic mud contains biologically active substances and that its effect therefore goes beyond physical-thermal effects. The biological-chemical reactions in the body can thus lead to better blood circulation in the tissue.
