Abstract
Objective of the work.
The aim of the study was to determine the content of humic acids in the tested peloid.
Material and methods.
The raw material was submitted for physical and chemical tests. The chemical composition of organic substances contained in the tested peloid was analyzed, including the content of humic acids.
Tests results.
The raw material contained 72% of organic substances in dry matter, of which 40% were humic acids. The content of humic acids in the mud from the new B deposit was higher than in the control mud/peloid. K2 mud/peloid was characterized by lower values. The least amount of humic acids was isolated from the control K1 mud/peloid.
Conclusions.
Control peloids, both K1 and K2, showed a much lower content of humic acids and differences were statistically significant compared to the peloid B.

Abstract
Mud (peloid, peat) has been used in medicine for many years. It is a natural resource used in Polish spas. The properties of treatments with mud are its thermal, mechanical, chemical, hormonal, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Pores from peat cause local overheating of tissues and thus increase cellular metabolism. Its mineral components such as magnesium sulfate, potassium, aluminum compounds and others, penetrate the skin and accumulate in the stratum corneum and deeper. The content of organic compounds humic acids testify to the therapeutic properties of mud.
The healing and prophylactic properties of peat are widely used in rheumatology, dermatology, cosmetology, urology, ophthalmology, gynecology, gastrology and dentistry. Traditional treatments with peloid are used in the form of complete or partial baths, soaking tubs, wraps, mud tampons or iontophoresis.
