Healing Mud
Mar Menor, with its high proportion of sunny days per year, has an ideal climate for the natural production of rich clays. These have been used for therapeutic treatment for thousands of years - the Greeks were fond of such treatment, and Galen, in the 2nd century AD, wrote about the healing properties of mud. At Mar Menor you can find a range of healing treatments, said to cure anything from rheumatism to gout to healing breaking bones.
But you don't have to seek out the mud to be healed or feel relaxed. Mar Menor, a salty lagoon which is ideal for swimming, is said to contain beneficial levels of ions such as magnesium, calcium and iodine. These are said to create an osmotic effect on the body, stimulating blood flow and relaxing muscles.
