What is
Rotorua Thermal Mud?
 |
|
As New Zealand sits on many many
inactive volcanoes, it�s not surprising
that you will find an extensive amount
of thermal activity. The vast major
thermal activity happens to be sitting
at the centre of North Island � Rotorua.
Thermal mud is a mineral-rich, volcanic
origin mud that is obtained from regions
of high thermal activity. While
different regional mud varieties may
differ in color, mineral content, smell,
trace element content and so on, they
all have deep cleansing, exfoliating,
moisturizing and regenerative
properties. For this reason, this
healing mud is used in many beauty and
therapeutic treatments.
Below are some further properties of
thermal mud treatments:
� Antiseptic: Destroys pathogenic agent
without attacking adjacent healthy
tissue.
� Healing: Silica, Aluminium and Zinc
are all essential to tissue regeneration
and scar prevention.
� Absorbing: Drains of infections and
absorbs excess fluids.
� Sedative: Has a sedative action on
local pain.
� Remineralising Equilibrium: Transmits
necessary mineral salts to organisms for
biological equilibrium.
� Rebalancing System: Provides
sufficient mineral salts to enhance the
body�s natural immune system.
The contact that the mud has with
volcanic gases and minerals from the
centre of the earth is the reason that
it is particularly rich in minerals.
Ordinary clays and muds contain some
minerals but because of its volcanic
origin, Rotorua mud is far richer in
these properties.
Rotorua thermal mud treatments are
excellent for use in regenerative skin
care because the clays have a very
strong affinity for moisture in the
skin. Thermal mud on drying will
generate heat, increasing blood
circulation and perspiration helping
toxins and other wastes to be
eliminated. The clay surfaces are highly
active and will easily absorb excess
oils, fatty secretions etc from within
the skins pores.
Major minerals present in thermal mud
include : Silica, Alumina, Magnesium,
Calcium, Iron, Titanium, Sulphur,
Phosphorus, Sodium, Potassium. Trace
elements include: Copper, Zinc,
Selenium, Cobalt, Manganese, Molybdenum.
For this reason, this healing mud is
used in many beauty and therapeutic
treatments. Various skin care products
like thermal mud masks, thermal mud Heat
Rub are made from the mud; these can be
purchased from spas, health centers and
online beauty care retailers.
