THE MUD OF EUGANEAN THERMAL BATHS IS UNIQUE IN THE WORLD

Mud

It can be scientifically affirmed after a research of over a year of the Centro Studi Termali Pietro d’Abano and the Department of Biology of the University of Padua

 

The Dipartimento di Biologia dell’Università di Padova, which includes the Orto Botanico (Unesco Heritage as a cultural asset since 1997), supported by the Centro Studi Termali Pietro d’Abano (created in 1981 by Abano and Montegrotto hoteliers for research in the field of thermal medicine), has finally scientifically proven the uniqueness of the mud baths of the Euganean Spas, whose beneficial effects can be enjoyed ONLY in this area… from the time of the ancient Romans.

The Department of Biology has extracted the DNA of cyanobacteria, responsible for the very high anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunostimulant powers of the Euganean mud, and it has been proven that such microorganisms can only develop from the volcanic clay of the Euganian Basin matured in hotel tanks for at least two months in Euganean thermal water at a specific temperature.

The conclusion, presented in mid-February, is the last piece of research that for over thirty years the Pietro d’Abano Thermal Studies Center has been scientifically conducting and determining the uniqueness and the high healing power of the Euganean muds, defined as “a of the most ancient biotechnological processes put in place for the selection of a specific beneficial microflora“.

The AbanoRITZ is proud to have participated in the project by making available its thermal aging tanks for the various samples.
