Phyto-mineral fango is formed by the long-term accumulation of the residues of hot springs water rising to the surface with both dissolved and un-dissolved compounds from deep inside the earth that become mixed with plant matter. It is rich in sulfur, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, phosphorous and silicates.

At Termas de Chillán, phyto-mineral fango is used therapeutically as an anti-inflammatory and pain relief agent, decongestant, tonifier, antiseptic, and circulatory system stimulator, and cosmetically to treat skin conditions, especially acne and psoriasis; to prevent the signs of premature aging, reduce cellulite and restore elasticity through its astringent effect; and to nourish and regenerate skin cells with its essential and trace minerals.

Treatments include:

Fango Thalaterm
A 40-minute full body treatment with heated phyto-mineral fango in a special Thalaterm capsule.

Fango Body Wrap or Facial Mask
