Can mudpacks relieve arthritic joint pain? Part 2

So what does this mean for the consumer?

This was a small study and was not randomly performed. Nevertheless, there are a lot of anecdotal reports indicating that mudpacks may have some therapeutic benefit. However, for the consumer, selection of mudpack is a major problem. There are hundreds of mudpack products being sold, each with exorbitant claims about their healing powers. Many of these mudpacks have never been analyzed and no one really knows where the mud was obtained or what it contains. False labeling and misleading advertizing is common in the field of health and cosmetics. Almost everyone claims that their mudpacks are from the Dead or Red sea and sometimes from the Amazon rain forest. The only good news is that mudpacks are relatively cheap.

Today, there are many formulations of mudpacks. In fact, some ingenious vendors even sell liquid mudpacks which you can drink (probably these are the same people who recommend drinking urine for good health).

The starting price for a small tube of mudpack averages about $4. Therefore, if you have pain from osteoarthritis and have little money to spend on pharmaceutical drugs, one may want to try a mudpack. The only one way to know if the mudpack works is to try it out for a few weeks.

Individuals with arthritis who have excessive pain or joint instability, may greatly benefit from use of splints, crutches, wheel chairs, walkers, braces, or lift chairs. For more on supplies for your arthritis, please visit
