Medicinal mud

6 sites · 3 kinds of evidence · Selected from independent sources

Six places on the Adriatic where peloid — Croatian law’s own word for it — has an institution, a paper or a park ranger behind it. And four that only tourist brochures vouch for.

Run by a hospital · 1

One site in the country carries a hospital’s name on the therapy.

Peer-reviewed sites · 3

Three bays with a published paper behind the mud.

An official line, and no more · 2

Two sites where the only institutional trace is a local authority’s sentence.

Apply it where you find it, rinse in the sea, take nothing away. Three of these sites are protected habitats.

Any therapeutic effectThe law names peloid; nobody we cite claims an effect, so neither do we.
