Unlike the classic treatment, which has pain reduction as its primary objective, the Oriental mud ritual makes it possible to achieve additional effects depending on the oils applied to the skin before the clay poultice. In particular, one can have a relaxing result (vata), a draining one (pitta), a toning one (kapha), or a nourishing one (tridosha). After removing the mud from the body with a refreshing shower, the procedure continues with immersion in an individual tub of thermal water enriched with the chosen essence. A further contribution is provided by aromatherapy, chromotherapy (the colours of the room) and music therapy. The treatment continues with drying in soft, warm bathrobes and a relaxing rest of at least half an hour in the pool or in one’s room, for the sweat reaction, sipping a tisane.
