“Why and when is mud therapy recommended?”
I recently underwent a naturopathic treatment and would like to know, what is the purpose of mud packs that were applied all over my body?

Mud packs, or clay packs, can have multiple purposes. The most common reasons naturopathic doctors use them in treatment are for drawing out toxins from the body, reducing inflammation/irritations/pain, when the packs are warm or hot they also help relaxing the muscles and other body tissue.
Every day.
Mud or Peat therapy can be used for all types of conditions. Mud has a specific charge that acts like a magnet to help the body get rid of toxins. Depending on the type of mud therapy you received, they may have increased your body temperature to reset your metabolism, increase circulation and/or increase immune function. The reason for doing this varies base on the practitioner. I've seen it used a lot with autoimmune cases, but can be used for a lot of things.
