As the procedures used mud baths and applications. The most widely used local (partial) mud applications in which a relatively thick consistency dirt deposited on any part of the body. Manifestation body reaction in this case is caused not only by the temperature and physical-chemical properties of the mud, but also an area of ​​mud application and place of its overlay, such as reflex zones ( "collar" and "trusikovuyu", some parts of the upper and lower extremities) .
Great for application areas have a more intense effect on the body.

These procedures have on the body complex impact due to the action on the receptors in the skin of therapeutic mud and electric current, as well as entering the patient a therapeutically active chemicals contained in mud.
Not recommended in one day combine with common mud water, light and sun baths and other procedures that may lead to overheating or cooling of the body. Mud is included in the complex therapy of chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system, for the treatment of complications of limbs and spine injuries, especially accompanied by limited mobility; as well as the consequences of diseases and injuries of the peripheral and central nervous systems, diseases of male and female sexual organs, certain digestive diseases, peripheral vascular disease (phlebitis, thrombophlebitis and other effects.); residual phenomena after burns and frostbite, and a number of skin diseases, chronic bronchitis and pneumonia.
