Lo Pagán Healing Muds

Lo Pagán– this name may sound exotic and a bit mysterious. However, it is here, in a small, charming town, that you will find some of the most healing muds in the world. The mud lagoons in Lo Pagán offer a natural remedy for rheumatism and skin diseases. What's more, the local microclimate, shaped by the Lesser Sea (Mar Menor) and salt lagoons, is extremely beneficial for people suffering from asthma and heart disease.

The muds in Lo Pagán are extremely rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, silica, iron and potassium. Their concentration here is much higher than in other regions of the Mediterranean, which makes them comparable to the famous Dead Sea mud. Mud therapies have been used since ancient times – from China to ancient Greece, and figures such as Hippocrates, Galen and Paracelsus recommended them to treat various ailments.
