Fango is an Italian word for mud. Certain spas are likely to offer it where the fango or mud is natural with a spring incorporated within the spa facility. You actually can be immersed into fango therapy. Italy and other European countries are very well known for fango therapies because the government assists you for a certain number of days per year to get treated. I was born and raised in Italy, so I remember my mother going for fango therapy every year for 15 days, completely on the Italian government.
We can do fango therapy by using mud wraps. We place you on a table or under a horizontal shower with several jets of water. It moves from one side to the other, so we can actually move it out of the way or back on to the guest as he is lying down. We usually scrub the body first, then we put on an application of mud. After about 15-20 minutes we unwrap you, rinse you off, and finish with a nice hydrating lotion. It's a very effective as a cellulite treatment depending on the type of mud that you use. It's also great for arthritic conditions or detoxifying the skin.
Moor mud is a different type of fango that is not as aggressive in terms of detoxifying the body. It can be used, for example, with someone taking cancer therapy. It's more soothing and is very effective on joint pain.
