Forty kilometres away from Thessaloniki, Pikrolimni, Kilkis is a place known for the mud therapy it offers. Sulphur mud used to gush and excrete the “chalastraion nitron”, according to the ancient sources for the region of Kliton and Pikrolimni, as far as its action in antiquity is concerned. The specificity of this lake is that both its clay and water contain precious mineral traces with significant therapeutic and rejuvenating properties. It is said they are due to the sulphates and nitrates of clay at the bottom of the lake. This is the “key” to both the therapeutic and cosmetic properties of Pikrolimni. Experts in the field say that the therapeutic mud penetrates directly into the body through the skin and affects the nerve endings. Pikrolimni products have now gone on the market through Kilkis if one considers that clay, face cream, soap and water, clay and oil, anti-cellulite cream and natural masks for female faces are being marketed.
