Peat is said to be a living pharmacy derived from hundreds of plants accumulated over thousands of years. Peat is a substance obtained from bogs on low or highland moors and has been used extensively as a medicinal preparation in baths and as topical packs in Europe for centuries.
Medicinal peat is not quite the same as peat moss, the matter we use in gardening. It is a natural product of thousands of years of plant decay. It has an unusual concentration of bio-minerals, trace elements, vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids in a molecular form that is easy for the skin to absorb.
A chief therapeutic property of peat is the ability to trap water and retain a higher temperature for a long duration. Not only can peat hold heat for a very long time, but the experience of the bather is that the peat is hotter than it actually is, making this a potent hyperthermia bath treatment. This hyperthermia treatment is effective for detoxification, immune stimulation, reducing inflammation, and normalizing the metabolism of our body’s tissues.
Therapeutic effects of peat baths include:
- Immune modulation
- Anti-inflammatory
- Antiviral and anti-bacterial
- Detoxification of heavy metals
- Pain-relieving properties
- Treatment of male and female infertility
- Supports endogenous estrogen production
- Anti-aging
- Enhances and improves metabolism of all tissues
Peat baths and local applications are beneficial for many conditions including:
- Skin concerns such as acne, psoriasis, and hives
- Chronic inflammation from autoimmune, infectious, or orthopedic concerns
- Metabolic disorders including fibromyalgia, genomic concerns, and impaired detoxification
- Women’s health concerns such as PMS, endometriosis, fertility, and chronic vaginitis
- Orthopedic concerns of acute or chronic back pain, muscle tension, arthritis, carpal tunnel, bursitis, sprains or strains
- Relieves stress and aides in sleep restoration
