Body wraps (for large areas)

Cover with cotton tissue or cling film, wrap the area with a wool blanket. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. Can be done every day or every other day, 8 times total. For feet and hands fill a plastic bag with warmed up softened mud and put hands/feet in it. A10% Rapan salt solution can be used instead of water for stronger effect.

Mud compress - local applications
Warm up some Rapan Mud (mixed with water to soft consistency) to 38-40°C, over a water bath. Apply the mud in a layer 1-2cm thick over an affected area. Cover with cling film or compress paper and a wool or cotton blanket. Leave on 30-60 minutes and rinse with warm water. 10-12 applications, every day or every other day, preferably before bed time. Add some Rapan Salt to the mud (a 10% water solution) to increase the effect.

Poultice
Spread 150-250g of softened Rapan Mud over a piece of cotton material, tie it up at the top. Warm it up to 45-55°C. Apply to affected area for 15-20 minutes, 10-15 applications, once every day or every other day. Very good for small areas, e.g. joints, muscle aches, etc. A 10% Rapan Salt solution can be used instead of water to soften the mud.

Face mask
Dilute mud as above. Apply to face in a thin layer for 15 minutes or until dry. Add a little Rapan Salt to increase the effect. Use for acne, dermatitis, eczema and to improve general skin condition.

Bath
Add 2 kg of Rapan mud to warm bath water (38-40°C). Add 0.5 kg of Rapan Salt. Stir the solution. Stay in the bath for 20-30 minutes, depending on your level of tolerance and health condition. Make sure you feel comfortable with the water temperature and during taking the bath. For health maintenance - take once a week. To relieve aches/pains - when needed.

N.B. Muds and clays can block drains, so make sure you stir the water properly when draining the bath.

Rheumatism, arthritis, muscle aches:
Warm up Rapan Mud to 38-40°C and spread over the affected joints, spine, knees, feet, hands and elbows. Cover with a blanket, so that the body can absorb the mud's properties. Have a warm bath (with Rapan salt) or shower, which has relaxing, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects and which also provide the cartilages with salts.
