Healing Mud Found in Cemetery in Karaman is Believed to Have Therapeutic Properties

In the Göktepe town of Karaman’s Sarıveliler district, a healing mud found in a cemetery is believed to be beneficial for various ailments and is generally more abundant in the summer months.
The healing mud, located next to the 'Büğlü Baba' tomb mentioned in Evliya Çelebi’s Travelogue, is thought to help with various diseases due to its mineral content, including sulfur, magnesium, sodium, calcium, and potassium.
Retired teacher Mehmet Uğuz, who narrates the story of the mud, stated, "Evliya Çelebi describes this place, saying 'Büğlü Baba' lies here.
There is healing mud nearby that is beneficial for many ailments.' This is where the name healing mud comes from.
The healing mud here does not stay in one place.
This mud has been analyzed many times.
People from all over the country come here to seek healing.
It generally increases in the summer," he said.
Ömer Gümüş, the headman of Gülpazarı Neighborhood, added, "It is said that the healing mud is good for eczema and psoriasis.
In recent years, the number of visitors from Europe and surrounding provinces has increased.
Many say they have found healing.
Therefore, it is a good thing for our region.
