DETOXIFYING MOOR MUD BATH
Mud baths are an ancient treatment, dating back to a time when spas were located next to thermal hot springs. In those early days, mud baths were often a mixture of volcanic ash and water; today, the ingredient of choice is moor mud. In the modern spa, the mud is mixed with water in a European hydro tub, where clients are left to relax for 20 minutes. Moor mud is known as a natural detoxifier, relaxing the muscles and opening pores to minerals and nutrients. As you soak, calming music and aromatherapy create a serene space from the outside world. After the mud bath, a sparkling shower and a moisturizer application completes the treatment.
Additional benefits include: skin healing and protection, reduction of inflammation and pain, removal of toxins and the absorption of nutrients, natural essential hormones necessary for glandular balance, and the different moisturizing properties of moor mud help maintain skin barrier integrity, prevent dehydration and alleviate skin disorders. It acts as a natural astringent, absorbent, ion exchanger, hormone balancer, anti-inflammatory and cell re generator.
