mud baths

Dirty spa treatment

Mud baths are treatments in which the body is immersed in warm mud, typically at spas or natural hot springs.

The practice is said to have therapeutic benefits—soothing sore muscles, softening skin, drawing out impurities.

Some animals take mud baths to cool off and protect against parasites: Elephants love a good mud bath.
