A small ritual that has great power
Prior to application, the peat is transferred to a mixing boiler where it is diluted with water as required. The spa staff ensures that a perfectly smooth mixture of the appropriate consistency is created. It is then heated to a comfortable 42 °C - the temperature at which its healing effects are activated.
It is then applied to the body in the form of a natural peat wrap - it can be small (for example, a local treatment of the knees or shoulders) or large (for example, the entire back or spine). The spa doctor decides exactly where the wrap is applied, depending on the client's health and needs.
The heat of the peat penetrates deep into the tissues, improves blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and relieves pain and tension. Over the course of twenty minutes, the body gradually surrenders to the earth - and while the muscles relax, the mind relaxes. The treatment is followed by a shower and the recommended rest period to allow the effects to wear off.
