Mud therapy & Hydrotherapy center in Krinides

Pelotherapy: Relaxation & the therapeutic effect of the healing clay.

Discover the benefits of Mud Therapy & Hydrotherapy, treat yourself to a therapeutic shower, or a relaxing massage, and experience a biomagnetic cupping massage or a reflexology session.

In the Krinides Mud Therapy centre, you will regenerate and improve your health and well-being.

The healing clay is beneficial both as a topical (on the skin’s surface) and a systemic therapeutic effect in various functions, thanks to substances that penetrate the body.

The clay has anti-inflammatory, absorbent, anti-allergic, analgesic, and nourishing-regenerative properties. 

It stimulates the neuroendocrine system and aids in the consolidation of the body’s responses.

The use of pelotherapy speeds up the absorption of contractions and scars after diseases or injuries to the central and peripheral nervous systems, improves peripheral nerve regeneration, alleviates neuralgia, resolves muscle spasticity and stiffness, and relieves impotence.

Three weeks is the recommended treatment time. The treatment does not have an immediate effect. Following the clay treatment, eczema improves in two months and psoriasis improves in six months.

Hydrotherapy & massage benefits

Hydrotherapy is the application of thermal waters to treat rheumatoid arthritis, hip and knee osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatism, lumbar problems, and other conditions.

The hammam Spa is beneficial to the skin because it opens up pores and removes dead skin cells. It also helps to relax muscles by producing a pleasant sensation.

Massage relieves headaches, improves sleep, reduces stress, and increases blood circulation, all of which contribute to overall body well-being.
