Mud therapy with estuary mud in Pomorie
Pomorie has established itself as a leading balneological destination thanks to the unique properties of the estuary mud from the depths of Pomorie Lake. Mud therapy in the Black Sea town offers proven therapeutic benefits for the musculoskeletal system and overall health. The year-round Saint George Medical SPA Hotel in the center of Pomorie offers high-quality balneological procedures throughout the year, combining traditional methods with a modern medical approach.
Unique properties of Pomorie estuary mud
The healing mud from Pomorie Lake is a valuable natural resource, formed through complex natural processes. The estuary (sedimentary) mud is formed extremely slowly — only 1 mm per year, which makes it a valuable and limited resource..
Pomorie mud is rich in:
- Hydrogen sulfide;
- Magnesium;
- Calcium;
- Potassium;
- Chlorides.
Biological stimulants
These components determine its powerful anti-inflammatory, analgesic and regenerating effect. After each use, the mud goes through a special regeneration process to preserve its healing properties. Saint George Hotel uses only certified healing mud from Pomorie Lake, guaranteeing maximum effectiveness of the procedures.
