In Danubius the mud used comes mainly from three famous sources: in Hungary from the famous Hévíz Thermal Lake and in Piesˇt’any from the sediment from the river Váh by-pass on the site of the hot springs. Saturation of this mud in the thermal waters creates a unique compound inhabited by healing bacteria and sulfur that is has many chemical and biological reactions. Firstly it has excellent heating conducting features, cooling down four times slower than water and secondly when the sulfur and minerals are absorbed through the skin, to the ligaments, cartilages and sinews it inhibits the degradation of elastine and collagen. The mud is applied either by pump or hand onto the body in a 5 cm layer, with exception to the head and frontal parts of the chest and neck. Its temperature is normally between 40-45 °C. The body is then wrapped up in blankets. After 20 minutes, the mud is hosed off and a 15 minute dry wrap may be conducted. The mud pack results in a reduction of local swellings around the joints, a reduction of muscle tension and better nutrition of the cartilage, connective tissue and spinal discs. It also strengthens anti-inflammatory activity and immune processes within the body. The mud can also be applied partially (See: Local Mud Pack). In Sovata Romania, mud is used from the Bear Salt Lake (See Balneotherapy: Salt Bath). This mud is applied in the same way. The salt mud is not only effective for mobility disorders but also some skin conditions and gynecological disorders (See: Gynecologic Mud/Peat Treatment).
