Medicinal Clay Treatment

MUD APPLICATIONS AND MUD BATH AT BOLLANTS - AN ANCIENT REMEDY FROM NATURE, INDIVIDUALLY APPLIED

Medicinal clay therapy

The natural healer Adolf Just (1859-1936) is considered the discoverer of medicinal clay therapy in the modern age. Pastor Felke took on this successful concept, made it internationally famous in his time and went down in history as the “Mud Pastor”. Felke further developed the regime and combined the natural elements of light, air, water, and earth in the “Felke medicinal clay bath”. Scientific studies confirm the multifaceted effect of the healing earth in the form of outdoor mud baths (April to October only), full-body medicinal clay therapy in the steam bath (year-round), as well as warm and cold poultices.

In 1994, Dr. med Axel Bolland supplemented the traditional mud baths with the Felke medicinal clay steam bath, which is applied worldwide today.

The most beautiful place you can take a mud bath is the SPA garden on the river! Located directly on the banks of the Nahe, the bath is applied in a heated, light-flooded pavilion surrounded by greenery. The mud baths also take place outside in this garden in the summer – here the mud can then be washed off directly in the river – a unique, natural experience!

The healing earth

• Strengthens the immune system
• Has a heavily deacidifying effect
• Improves blood circulation
• Alleviates inflamed joints and inflammatory diseases of the skin
• Normalises risk factors (increased liver enzymes, elevated uric acid,
  high blood pressure and cholesterol levels)
• Helps with rheumatic symptoms

“Intensive” medicinal clay

Warm and cool clay poultices have a circulation-promoting, pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and decongestant effect. They are of particular importance in the treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the spine and joints. The “intensive” medicinal clay poultice can be applied in line with your needs and according to your symptoms.

Healing earth therapy

The naturopath Adolf Just (1859-1936) is considered the discoverer of healing earth therapy in modern times. Pastor Felke took over this successful concept, made it known beyond the borders in his time and went down in history as the "clay pastor". Felke developed the treatment method further and combined the natural elements of light, air, water and earth in the "Felke healing earth bath". Scientific studies confirm the manifold effectiveness of the healing earth in the form of outdoor clay baths (only in the warm season), healing earth whole body therapy in the steam bath (all year round) and through warm and cold packs.

Dr. med. Axel Bolland added the Felke healing steam bath to the traditional clay baths in 1994, which is used worldwide today.
