Mudpack Treatment Procedures - Facial Mask (for dry, acneic or sensitive skin)

  • Warm one-third of a cup of Hungarian Apothecary Mud in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute. If you are in a spa environment, it is best to warm the mud in the towel cabi/sanitizer using a rubber bowl.

  • For cool mudpacks do not heat the mud.

  • Apply mud evenly and smoothly to desired area with a brush (a boar's bristle brush from a esthetics supply or art store is sufficient).

  • Let rest on face for 15 minutes.

  • Remove the mud with cool clean water without using SOAP. Once you have removed the mud you may blot the face dry and complete your mask treatment with a moisturizer of your choice.

Repeat the facial mask every third day.

Hungarian Apothecary Mud was originally developed for use in softening and conditioning sun-damaged, mature or dry skin and may be used to soften and moisturize the skin on a regular basis.

The body wrap treatment was devised to condition the skin for hair removal one or two days before the hair removal. However, this body treatment (minus the Salt Scrub) may be applied after hair removal to soften and condition the skin, or after a day in the sun to sooth inflammation and irritation. This body wrap is a very healing treatment for the mind and the body. Giving back to the body through the gifts of the earth is a very centering and therapeutic ritual in your busy schedule and the often exhausting and stressful demands of living in New York City and indeed the rest of the world.

You will need:

  • 1.5 Cups of Hungarian Apothecary Mud

  • A Microwave-safe bowl or esthetician's rubber bowl for a towel cabi/sanitizer

  • 1 Cup Dead Sea Salt or a body scrub/exfoliant of your choice

  • Loofahs

  • Small stainless steel bowl filled with warm water

  • An electric or wool blanket

  • Space Blanket (may be obtained at a spa supply house)

  • Sheet of Cling Film or other sheer plastic sheet to line and protect table

  • Moisturizer of your choice

To set up for the treatment, prepare a massage bed or treatment area by laying the electric or wool blanket flat on the surface to be used. Cover the blanket with the space blanket. Next use the protective layer of plastic sheeting or cling film to cover the blankets protecting everything from contact with the mud.

Prepare a 1.5-cup portion of the Hungarian Apothecary Mud (may be used hot or cold depending skin type, personal preference and/or time of year). If a warm treatment is desired, warm the mud in the rubber esthetician's bowl in the towel cabi/sanitizer or in a microwave oven for one minute on a high setting.

The practitioner should begin by having the client lie face down and positioned comfortably on the massage bed.

Using the hands, begin by dampening the skin by massaging gently all over with a small amount of warm water. When the entire body is moist, you should then either use a Loofah or bare hands and massage small amounts of the sea salt or body scrub on over the entire backside of the client's body massaging the scrub in long, gentle strokes.

Begin to apply the Hungarian Apothecary Mud (warm or cold) to the body atop the scrub. You may use your hand or a brush. Spread a fine and even layer. When that is completed, have the client roll over and repeat the process on the front side as previously described, beginning with warm water, followed by scrub and ending with the layering of the Hungarian Apothecary Mud.

When this is competed to wrap the clients' body, first pull the plastic wrap sheet or cling film up and around entire body wrapping it comfortably. Then one by one continue wrapping the client's body next layers; the space blanket, followed by the electric or wool blanket.

Secure the blankets and let the client rest for 20 to 30 min. The longer the mud remains on the body, the better. When you feel the mud is dry it has done its job.

Remove the mud in the tepid shower - Do not use hot water, do not use SOAP. Pat the skin dry and complete the treatment by moisturizing the body with a calming massage.

HUNGARIAN APOTHECARY MUD BATH

You will need:

  • Two cups of Hungarian Apothecary Mud

As the mud dissolves in water to a very fine paste, it presents no danger of clogging pipes and is suitable for use in standard bathtubs. Do not, however, use in whirlpools baths or Jacuzzis and hot tubs.

To begin your mud bath, add approximately 1 - 2 cups of mud to running bath water. After filling the tub, sink into the water and relax for at least 20 minutes. To increase the sensory pleasures of the bath, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, like lavender or rosemary. Rinse the mud off in a tepid shower, pat the sky dry and apply a body moisturizer.

This therapeutic bath helps many skin conditions including psoriasis and even acne. The mud bath is suggested as a once per week treatment.

You will need:

  • Two pounds of Hungarian Apothecary Mud

  • A Microwave-safe bowl or esthetician's rubber bowl for a towel cabi/sanitizer

  • Small stainless steel bowl filled with warm water

  • An electric or wool blanket

  • Space Blanket (may be obtained at a spa supply house)

  • Sheet of Cling Film or other sheer plastic sheet to line and protect table

  • Moisturizer of your choice

To set up for the treatment, prepare a massage bed or treatment area by laying the electric or wool blanket flat on the surface to be used. Cover the blanket with the space blanket. Next use the protective layer of plastic sheeting or cling film to cover the blankets protecting everything from contact with the mud.

Prepare the Hungarian Apothecary Mud (may be used hot or cold depending skin type, personal preference and/or time of year). If a warm treatment is desired, warm the mud in the rubber esthetician's bowl in the towel cabi/sanitizer or in a microwave oven for one minute on a high setting. It would be best to acquire a mud warmer from a spa supply warehouse.

Apply the mud to the shoulders, elbows, back, neck, spinal column and even the wrists and fingers. Use generous portions as the goal is to encase the joints area in as much mud as possible. Remember, however, that you can re-use the mud as it does not harbor any bacteria or fungus. Let the mud remain on for up to 30 minutes. If heated, the mud will retain heat due to its thermal abilities. The mud helps to improve circulation which, in turn, helps flush the toxins from the body. For injuries, you improve range of motion, and for arthritic problems you create effective pain management and improve use of your body.

When the time has elapsed, scrape the mud from the body then retain the mud for future use. Rinse the body thoroughly in a tepid shower and pat dry.


Mud can be re-used as it doesn't harbor bacteria.
