Mud therapy
The beneficial properties of liman mud have been known since ancient times. Ancient civilisations such as Egypt, Rome, Greece and India used mud to relieve various kinds of health problems. Mud has a complex physical and chemical composition. Combined with its electro-thermal properties, it has a positive effect on health.
The liman mud in the town of Pomorie is extracted from Pomorie Lake, which was formed after a catastrophic earthquake in 740 BC. The mud in Pomorie Lake is thick and black in colour. It has formed over millennia, with a specific chemical composition and a high content of sulphur and iron. Pomorie mud is unique and differs significantly from other liman mud deposits around the world.
The origins of mud therapy in Pomorie
Pomorie liman mud was rediscovered by Dr Petar Stoyanov in 1905. Over several years he studied its beneficial properties. A mud therapy centre was subsequently built and the town of Pomorie established itself as a national seaside mud therapy resort.
What does it help with?
Today, treatments with Pomorie liman mud are practised in two main forms – mud therapy and lye therapy. Extracting the mud and the lye requires specialised equipment and processing technology. Applying them sometimes calls for special apparatus, depending on the procedure.
Mud therapy is used for
- problems of the musculoskeletal system – all arthritic conditions, lower back pain, osteochondrosis (bone spurs).
- problems of the peripheral and central nervous system – disc disorders, plexitis, periarthritis.
- skin problems – eczema, skin ulcers, scleroderma and psoriasis.
- problems of the female and male reproductive systems – gynaecological conditions and infertility
- problems of the respiratory system – bronchitis, sinusitis
Lye therapy is also used for problems of the musculoskeletal system, the upper respiratory tract, the female reproductive organs, the kidneys, the urinary tract and more. Mud and lye treatments have been shown to boost immunity, stimulate the reproductive system and support many other functions of the human body. The anti-inflammatory, vasodilating, antibiotic and muscle-relaxing action of Pomorie lye and liman mud has been proven.
Methods of mud therapy
Pomorie mud is applied in the form of mud applications and mud baths.
The mud application
Applications are made to the whole body or to a specific area. They are carried out on a special trough-shaped couch lined with plastic sheeting and a canvas sheet. Warmed mud is placed on it and the body is coated with a layer 1–2 cm thick, after which it is wrapped up warmly. Once the treatment is complete, the body is rinsed under a shower and should not be bathed again for at least two hours.
- Temperature: 38-42 Co
- Duration: 20 min
- Course of treatment: 10-14 baths
Mud baths
This is a widely practised method. It is carried out in a bath filled with liman mud diluted with sea water and Black Sea lye. The skin absorbs more of the soluble chemical substances from the dissolved mud than it does with the mud application method.
- Temperature: 38 Co
- Duration: 20 min
- Course of treatment: 12-14 baths

I am extremely pleased with the mask with lye and Black Sea mud; the effect is felt as early as the third application.

This is the first time I have used such a body mask and beforehand I thought it would be a big mess, but it turned out not to be that bad and it washes off very easily. I expected the mask to dehydrate the surface of the skin, but instead it draws moisture from the depths towards the surface layer, which stays moist. The mask heals the red edges of psoriatic eczema, the skin calms down and the itching decreases, and it lets the skin form a healthy epithelial layer faster. I do not apply the mask regularly, I go by the condition of the skin. The product also helps with inflamed sinuses, but it is better to use the gel with lye there, since the liman mud draws and dries quickly, and you can see the area literally sink in – you have to keep the mask on for a very short time. The smell is bearable, you can tell it comes from the sea. The consistency spreads well with a wooden spatula and does not run. I would order the mask again. A drawback is that it can inflame a spot, which you have to watch out for – but then there is the gel with Black Sea lye. Even so, the mask is perfect.
