An important prerequisite for the success of clay treatment is compliance with the instructions of the attending physician. Based on the use of "mature" clay, application of the clay may be total or partial by immersion of the body in it or by applying clay on it. The therapeutic effect of clay is twofold: it acts topical (on the skin surface) and general (in different modes, thanks to substances which penetrate through the body). The effect of mud therapy is mainly due to three factors: mechanical, thermal and chemical.
