Mud & Charcoal Sauna

This is a therapeutic sauna, popular in Korea.
Below are some of the benefits from our therapeutic mud & charcoal sauna.

Skin Health - mud

Mud contains a rich variety of minerals many of which our body requires for producing healthy connective tissues which are important for healthy skin, hair and nails.

Mud sauna promotes the release of several antioxidants which protect the skin from free radical damage and early aging. 

According to scientists from the National University of Entre Rios in Argentina:

"Mud contains natural compounds with anti-inflammatory and bacteria-killing properties." 

These properties may be beneficial in the therapeutic treatment of acne, infection, inflammation and dermatitis.
​

Relaxation - mud

According to some research at the University of Siena in Italy:

"Mud sauna or baths have a beneficial effect on cortisol levels as well as the release of endorphins."

This balance of hormones and neurochemistry will support greater feelings of well-being and relaxation.

Aches and Pains - mud

Traditionally the elderly would go to the mud to relieve their tired and aching joints.

Today, scientists and doctors are recommending patients with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis to do the same as their ancestors.

Researchers also found that the mud therapies had an increased levels of antioxidants in their blood as well as increased haemoglobin levels, which possibly explains the health benefits for aches and pains.

In the early 19th century, medical journals began publishing research revealing activated charcoal as an antidote for poisons.

​Current research estimates support these earlier practices of activated charcoal, and also introduce additional benefits to using it.

General Detoxification – charcoal

Toxins from low-quality, processed food and environmental pollution sap our energy and contribute to brain fog and digestive issues.

Chronic exposure to toxins causes cellular damage, allergic reactions, compromised immunity and rapid ageing.

​This charcoal sauna can help remove toxins from our body.

Improve digestive system - charcoal

​For ages it has been proven in Korea that activated charcoal improves stomach and intestinal problems acute and chronic

such as indigestion, stomach pain, food poisoning, diarrhoea, etc.

​And you can expect similar effect from charcoal sauna as special properties in the charcoal get into our system through the pores and by inhaling.

Relieve Gas and Bloating - charcoal

After digesting foods, bacteria in our body break down the cellulose, generating some less-than-optimal by-products like gas or liquid stools.

​Charcoal enters the digestive tract and counteracts this process by binding to by-products and easing these digestive issues.

Anti Aging – charcoal

Activated charcoal may have powerful anti-aging properties.

Early studies show it may prevent numerous cellular changes associated with ageing.

One rodent study showed that activated charcoal increased the average lifespan of older test animals by roughly 34 percent. 

You can expect similar effect from charcoal sauna.

Our general health depends much on the spinal condition.

This has been becoming so true with busy life and too much use of electronic devices because these don’t allow many young and old to have a healthy spine today.

Spine is also connected to our internal organs.

So it may well be said that spinal health is a key to our wellbeing.
