Girls smear each other with mud that is believed to be curative at Queen’s beach in Nin, south Croatia, on Sunday. The mud has been tested to be effective in treating various ailments such as rheumatic diseases, spinal deformities, muscular and the skeletal system problems, female infertility and various skin diseases for decades. The therapy, which usually lasts from 10 to 20 days, involves covering the body with the mud, then sunbathing on the sandy beach, then rinsing off the mud with warm seawater. This is done in the morning during July and August.SD-Agencies
