Moor Mud has been around for centuries. The ancient Egyptian and Romans were using it way back then, as it was considered to hold magic ingredients to regenerate, preserve and prevent skin from aging.

Its uncanny ability to heal, nourish and detoxify has been used scientifically in European Spas for well over a century.

It is used not only to beautify, but also to help aid and cure a multitude of ailments, from mobility problems, arthritis, hormonal imbalances, including post surgery recovery and rapid muscle recovery in sports medicine.

Moor mud is a natural composition of organic remains from herbs, flowers and grasses. The semi-decomposed plant remnants rested in bogs over centuries, slowly turn into peat.

It has a unique composition of humic acids, fulvic acids, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, amino acids, plant hormones and fatty acids, which are released when the mud is heated. These nutrients are then absorbed through the skin and deposited in the aching parts of the body.

Mud baths (aka peloid therapy), apart from being incredibly relaxing, have many healing benefits.

This stuff that looks like poop really is magic ;-)

• Relieve muscle and joint aches and pains. The heat from the Moor Mud has incredible anti-inflammatory properties.

HOW TO TAKE A MUD BATH

1- Run water at a temperature that is as hot as you are comfortable with. Bear in mind that moor mud has an excellent ability to retain temperature, so don't make the water too hot.

2- Whilst water is running, dissolve one to two packs of 250 ml mud. You may also want to prepare a place to lay or sit to relax after the bath. Keep in mind, you probably will perspire quite a bit after the bath, so have a suitable cover ready to absorb the sweat. You need to stay warm and comfortable for 30 minutes.

3- Before getting in the bath, it is important to hydrate well as you may perspire immensely. I recommend using electrolytes.

4- Make sure all moor mud is dissolved. Retrieve the clump of moor mud and squish it until it is all suspended in the bath water. Get into the tub and immerse as much of your body as possible into the water, keep feet submerged.

5- Enjoy the experience! Remain in the moor mud bath for a maximum of 30 minutes or less if you feel you must exit*. If you start feeling light headed, get out of the tub immediately! It is often a sign that your detox level has reached an optimal maximum for the session. Be careful getting out of the tub.

6- After bathing, shower in warm water without using soap or shampoo, wrap yourself warm and relax for a further 20 to 30 minutes.  

*If you begin to feel agitated during your first bath, it is highly likely you have toxins within your body. We recommend persevering by bathing another 3 to 4 times. Once your body becomes less toxic, your experience will be one that you will appreciate and love.

**You may feel a little tired after the bath. This is natural. You may also get a mild head-ache as you detox.
