mud bath

Therapeutic mire immersion

A mud bath is a treatment in which the body is covered or immersed in mineral-rich mud, typically at spas or hot springs, believed to have therapeutic benefits for skin and joints.

The term extends to any situation involving getting thoroughly muddy: The kids came home from the playground looking like they'd had a mud bath.

Pigs and other animals take mud baths to cool off and protect against parasites.
