The characteristic thermal mud of the Euganean area is composed by a solid part (argil and humus), a liquid part (hyper-thermal bromidic iodic salt water) and an organic one (micro-flora constituted by colonies of algae, protozoa, bacteria and the products of their degradation).
Before it can be used with a therapeutic purpose, thermal mud must undergo a long maturation process inside specific tubs.
 

During this process, by being in contact with thermal water and sun, the mud acquires the biological and physical chemical characteristics that change it into a proper medicine, registered at a European level, and used in the therapy of osteoarthritis and rheumatic diseases.

Mud-therapy is a natural healing method that is still very effective in the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis and of a variety of rheumatic pain.
The application of thermal mud produces an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and decontracting action on the muscles; this makes it ideal in the treatment of cervical and lumbar pain, osteoarthritis of hips and knees, fibromyalgia, consequences of traumas, fractures, and as prevention of osteoporosis.
Because of its action on the microcirculation, mud-therapy can be used in the treatment of obesity, cellulite, and skin ageing.
The thermal mud used at the Quisisana Wellness Centre is certified by the University of Padova with a QUALITY assurance label for MATURE MUD.
The action of the thermal vapour is complementary to the mud therapy in the curing of arthritis, and is also suggested to be effective in the fight against some metabolism diseases (especially hyperuricaemia), obesity, rhinosinusitis, and chronic bronchitis.
