Peloid Therapy

This is our signature procedure. The patient is fully covered by Sea of Cortez medicinal mud and wrapped in a warm blanked for 25 – 30 minutes. The treatment is very good for skin health, as the mud has an anti-infectives effect and enriches the skin with hundreds of mineral ions and thousands of organic compounds. The mud is also a natural skin probiotic, as in contains billions of unites of halophytes, microorganisms living in high salt environment. Unexpectedly, our mud has a potent positive effect on mood and mental conditions. Most patients actually fall asleep within 5 minutes and wake up in the end of procedure refreshed, energized and in a better mood. Series of 3-6 full body mud wraps substantially relieve anxiety, sleep disorders and depression.

Local patches is the main way medicinal mud is administered at medical and spa resorts. The patches are applied on the troubled and painful areas, typically joints with osteoarthritis. It requires 10-20 applications to improve flexibility and reduce pain in an arthritic joint. Many of our patients start with daily patches at Santa Maria and continue at home with our mud.

Medicinal mud from Sea of Cortez has a strong anti-infective effect, which works both on pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The organic component of the mud features hundreds of biologically active compounds, some of which are natural antibiotics. Importantly, these are most likely novel antibiotics, which make them active on antibiotics-resistant bacteria. By now, most of bacterial strains on our skin are resistant to multiple antibiotics on the market, but yet susceptible to compounds from our mud. According to dermatologists who use our mud in clinic, it takes only 2-3 facials to get rid of acne completely, and the mud is effective against psoriasis and other skin conditions.

Red clay is a unique kind of sea clay found at the northern part of Sea of Cortez under salt crust. The clay has lower salt concentration than medicinal mud and does not have organic component. However, the mineral contain of red clay is very rich. Clay wraps are particularly good for skin, which picks up chemical elements and ions from clay via osmosis. In the process, the skin gets preferably enriched with the ions it lacks, such as magnesium, zinc, molybdenum, vanadium, selenium and rare elements. This is long-term effect lasting for several months

The gray clay, a distinct type of sea clay discovered in the northern region of the Sea of Cortez, lies hidden beneath a layer of mud and salt crust. Unlike medicinal mud, this gray clay has a lower salt concentration and lacks organic components. However, it is exceptionally rich in minerals. Clay wraps are renowned for their skin benefits, as the clay absorbs chemical elements and ions through osmosis. This enriches the skin with essential ions like magnesium, zinc, molybdenum, vanadium, selenium, and other rare elements that may be lacking. The effects of this process can last for several months, providing long-term benefits for the skin.

This is one of the favorite procedures by our patients. Our experienced therapists use a generous amount of Sea or Cortez mixed with natural vitamins from Baja sources and apply on full body. Patients see an immediate effect of refreshment and energy boost
