Biothermal Clay
The origins: Earth & Water – Mud Therapy
A certified excellence: IPERMATURO Plus Mud
The quality of our thermal mud is the result of a truly unique process. Our bio-thermal clay matures for over 7 months, immersed in thermal water at approximately 38°C, following a slow, natural, and carefully controlled cycle.
During this period, an exceptionally rich biofilm of beneficial microorganisms develops, most notably the precious cyanobacteria, which are responsible for the mud’s powerful anti-inflammatory effect.
The result is IPERMATURO Plus certified mud, a true excellence in the thermal wellness landscape:
- Anti-inflammatory power comparable to cortisone, without side effects
- Deep penetration into the tissues
- Effective relief from pain, stiffness, and muscle contractures
A natural, safe, and extraordinarily effective treatment, embodying the very essence of professionalism and quality.
It is our thermal water: rare, precious, and irreplaceable.
A saline–bromine–iodine thermal water born from the rainfall of the Little Dolomites and the Pre-Alps, beginning an underground journey of approximately 80 km. It descends to depths of up to 3,000 metres, becomes enriched with minerals, and resurfaces at our springs at a natural temperature of 80–87°C.
It is estimated that a single drop takes 30 years to reach our basin - a slow, pure journey that encapsulates the very essence of nature.
Its extraordinary qualities:
- Naturally very warm
- Releases muscle contractures
- Acts as a natural anti-inflammatory
- Soothes the skin
- Reduces tension and relaxes the mind
- Revitalises the body
- Free from contraindications
- Ideal for post-operative recovery
The stages of mud therapy
15 minutes
10 minutes
After the removal of the thermal mud with a lukewarm shower, the treatment continues with immersion in an ozonated thermal bath for 8–10 minutes, at a temperature between 36 and 38°C.
10–15 minutes
This treatment prepares the skin for thermal care by deeply cleansing it and enhancing the absorption of minerals and beneficial substances, allowing them to act more effectively on the body.
30–60 minutes
After mud therapy, a sweating reaction occurs - a natural physiological process whose duration and intensity vary from person to person.
10–15 minutes
Our hyper-mature biothermal clay is applied to the skin at a temperature between 38 and 42°C for a duration of 10 to 15 minutes.
25–55 minutes
At the end of the sweating reaction, a deep decontracting massage stimulates circulation and ideally completes the mud therapy protocol.
Our in-house physician will assess the guest’s health profile and define a personalized mud therapy protocol, indicating to the therapist the clay temperature, application duration, and any recommended complementary treatments.
- Powerful natural anti-inflammatory action
- Ideal for musculoskeletal conditions
Hyper-Mature Thermal Mud
Our mature thermal mud, recognized in 2014 as one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory resources, is an exclusive asset of Abano Terme.
Warm, enveloping, and rich in active principles, it supports the body’s regenerative processes, releases muscle tension, and helps relieve joint pain.
The treatment concludes with a revitalizing shower followed by immersion in pure thermal water enriched with ozone, enhancing the overall sense of well-being.
Thermal mud provides deep and targeted effectiveness. To enhance and prolong its benefits, we recommend combining each application with a post-mud therapeutic massage.
For a complete and convenient therapeutic program, we also suggest scheduling treatments using a forfait package.
Facial Mud Treatment for Sinusitis
All the benefits of thermal mud to help relieve paranasal conditions.
A warm mud application particularly suitable for guests suffering from headaches resistant to pharmacological treatments or caused by stress, as well as for those affected by chronic rhinitis and sinusitis that are difficult to alleviate with medication alone.
- Powerful natural anti-inflammatory action
- Supports relief of sinus and paranasal discomfort
Hands or Feet Mud Application
This partial application is performed on either the hands or the feet.
The treatment concludes with cleansing using a thermal shower.
For deeper and full-body effectiveness, a thermal bath is recommended, as it has no contraindications.
Respiratory Treatments with Salsobromoiodic Thermal Water
The unique composition of salsobromoiodic thermal water provides an effective cleansing action on the mucous membranes of the respiratory system - including the pharynx, larynx, bronchi, and paranasal sinuses.
A course of thermal water treatments promotes a strong mucolytic and decongestant effect.
The main conditions treated include rhinitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis, chronic catarrhal otitis, and chronic bronchitis.
Uses large droplets of nebulized thermal water, ideal for opening and treating the upper respiratory tract.
Produces micro-droplets capable of reaching deep into the bronchi and paranasal sinuses, providing a targeted and effective treatment.
Particularly effective in the prevention and treatment of sinusitis, it helps decongest mucous membranes in chronic respiratory conditions and is ideal for purifying the upper airways, especially for smokers. The treatment involves the application of a gentle, constant-temperature flow of nebulized mineral water into the nasal cavities.
Thermal inhalation therapies are widely used and officially recognized by the healthcare system for their effectiveness in treating respiratory tract disorders and in preventing flare-ups. In summary, the main therapeutic goals achieved through inhalation therapies include:
- Antiseptic action
- Stimulation of the ciliary system
- Liquefaction of secretions
- Normalization of respiratory mucus properties
- Anti-inflammatory activity
- Reduction of pathogenic microbial components
Inhalations and aerosol treatments with thermal water are effective in the treatment of:
- Chronic bronchitis, with or without obstructive component (excluding asthma and emphysema)
- Vasomotor rhinitis
- Chronic pharyngolaryngitis
- Chronic sinusitis or chronic rhinosinusitis syndrome
- Chronic rhinosinusitis–bronchial syndromes
- Tonsillar and adenoidal hypertrophy
- Eustachian tube dysfunction
- Chronic catarrhal otitis
- Chronic purulent otitis
- Hydrates the skin
- Provides relief in cases of allergies
- Improves overall respiratory system health
