Dry Sister

Is it okay to let a healthy child take a mud bath (have the body covered with mud and wrapped in sheets...)?

...and take a rest before get the mud removed with a shower. The family of the wife of my brother use alternative medicine. My son spend a weekend with his cousins and he and other five children were given this bath. According to the family, this helps the body to get rid of some toxins.

1. Its fine. And the info you have given is also true. This method of healing is being used extensively now a days.
2. It's fine. Harmless. However, the info you were given is BS. You will not "get rid of toxins" with a mud bath. That is hippy-dippy nonsense and there is ZERO evidence that any so-called "toxins" are removed by this, despite the claims of the spa owners and the people who swallow that pitch. (They're just trying to sell something, they don't have to prove it.)
3. Save your money and let your kid play in the mud in the backyard with his friends.
