parafango

It would seem the same word is used in English. There are 47000 results in google. I have found "paramud" used in a site which is obviously a translation from Spanish since the URL says "parafango". Examples below:

THE PARAMUD Is a thermotherapeutic method consisting of a mixture of paraffin and mud. It is applied in the area of the body to be treated in the form of plaque or plasters, at an initial temperature of approx. 50 ° C, wrapping the area with a sweating sheet and disposable towels to avoid heat loss, once the paramudAt 25 or 30 minutes, is removed from the body.

Parafango Therapy...
Parafango is a mixture of paraffin wax & dehydrated mud. It’s a perfect combination for treating cellulite and removing inches due to the thermal properties of the paraffin and the detoxifying effects of the mud. The warm parafango stimulates lymphatic flow and draws out toxins from around fat cells, resulting in immediate noticeable results.

Perhaps giving it a more fancy name makes it more commercial somehow.
