A record-setting mud therapy event with 400 l of therapeutic mud

A record-breaking event took place during the European Spas & Balneology Congress 2024 in Druskininkai, Lithuania: the world’s largest mud therapy procedure! Close to 100 participants from 27 countries simultaneously applied therapeutic mud to their hands in a demonstration of the healing power of natural resources. In total, 400 liters of this therapeutic mud, extracted from Lithuania’s peatlands, was used in this historic event.

This event, organized by the National Association of Medical Spas and Rehabilitation Centers along with the Lithuanian Resorts Association, aimed to draw attention to innovations in Lithuania’s health sector and highlight the country’s natural resources and wellness potential.

According to Assoc. Prof. L. Rapolienė from the Faculty of Health Sciences at Klaipėda University, mud therapy has a positive effect not only on the skin but on the whole body. “Mud therapy stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing processes. Additionally, it helps reduce stress and encourages regenerative processes,” explained the scientist.
