Hévíz Medicinal Mud Bath: A luxurious soak enriched with concentrated active ingredients. This bath provides a relaxing, soothing effect for the entire body, delivering the same therapeutic efficacy as a traditional mud pack.
Hévíz Medicinal Mud Wrap: A potent application of finely ground medicinal mud. This treatment is highly beneficial for bone and joint complaints and supports rapid skin regeneration through a strong chemical effect.
