Over the past few months, I have been investigating, experimenting and using a new exciting substance that is relatively new to the US and Canada but has been tested, used, and supplied in Europe for centuries for all sorts of ailments and to promote a healthy body. This substance is all natural and absolutely amazing.
Moor Peat (also referred to as Moor Mud) has been used for centuries to balance, detoxify, and tone the body. Historical reports reveal the many uses of moor mud in the treatment of human disease. The therapeutic properties of Moor Peat have been known for thousands of years. Moor Peat has been successfully used in spas all over Europe for natural preventive medicine because of its curative properties. Modern scientific research provides new applications for Moor Peat in many therapeutic treatments, particularly in the fields of Rheumatology and Dermatology.

Peat Therapy plays an essential role in detoxification of the body. Every day we are exposed to a multitude of toxins in the environment-through the water, ground, air and even in our food. Our bodies try to process and eliminate these toxins, but with the large levels of chemicals and toxins in the environment, our bodies are not able to keep up with such a toxic load. Detoxification is essential to rid our bodies of these toxins.
Most toxins are stored in our fat tissue. The heat from Peat Therapy mobilizes toxins stored in our tissues, increases our circulation, and allows for toxin excretion, mainly through perspiration of the skin. Removal of toxins from our bodies improves cellular function, increases our circulation and immune system, and enhances our general health and well being.
Fat cells in an individual are congested with fluids containing toxins. These toxins cause the fat cells to swell and grow, in turn impairing circulation. This causes the metabolism to burn slowly making the body retain fluids and increases in weight through swollen fat cells.
As fat cells continue to get more fluids and swell they cease to breakdown in circulation, this inhibits the fat cells to be metabolized and burned off. When the fat cells are mobilized to release these toxins, they are burned as energy. The heat during the peat therapy also increases the metabolic rate, resulting in sustained weight loss in a detoxification program.
Scientists have proven that a large number of organic compounds and trace elements in the Moor Peat are in perfect balance, and can actually penetrate below the surface, and cause the skin to be nourished and rejuvenated. Moor Peat encourages circulation needed to metabolize lymphatic drainage that is required to prevent, and reduce the build up of cellulite and fat.
A Peat bath is offered at the finest spas around the world. In Europe , it is recommended to take 2-3 baths per week for 25-30 minutes. A full course of treatments in Europe consists of 21 baths. Maintenance baths can be taken once a week.
To take a Moor Peat bath, add 6-8 ounces to hot bath water. Relax in the tub for 20-25 minutes. After your bath, rinse in the shower and lie down to rest for one hour.
