STUDIES

Thermal bathing and Moor  treatments have played an important role in health and well being for a very long time. The healing power of Moor Mud and Moor waters was already known in antiquity where waters were ascribed to have super-natural or "curative" properties.

In ancient Greece and Rome, healing districts, bathing houses, and famous medical schools arose near thermal or mineral springs.
In the Middle Ages, the bathing rooms developed into community centers, in which not only cleansing baths were taken but also barbers and “Baders“ (german expression for physicians at a watering-place) were active.

In the 1600's (17th century) balneotherapy began to widely used as a treatment against acute maladies, first in France and England, later in Germany. Many famous "Bads" or healing bath centers and spas from this era still operate today. The first chemical analysis of the mineral waters were done at the end of the 18th century. Balneology as a scientific branch developed in the later 19th century where laboratories and institutes arose at the spas, allowing a solid examination of the patients and the use scientific methods to document treatment results and efficacy.

The father modern moor balneotherapy and treatments: Otto Stöber at Bad Neydhart, where many treatments were developed and many cases were documented. In recent times, there have been many studies - a few of which we have referenced here for informational purposes only.

Something to consider:
Within the past century many wondrous, helpfull, and powerful medicines have been developed - many derived or synthesized from single types of plants, flowers, and substances. Each of these medicines have undeniably advanced health care, enhanced disease and pain management, and improved the quality of life for millions of people.
Consider now the possibilities of the moor mud and the "moor bouquet" where, as the basis for treatments and therapies, you have almost 400 plants and flower types all naturally and harmoniously blended by nature over thousands of years and wonderfully presented in Moor Mud. This moor and associated treatments have been successfuly used for centuries to alleviate many maladies and infirmities. While it will take further study and research to fully understand how the moor mud works on the human body, centuries of experience have shown us the benefits some of these therapies. (Please check with your physician before taking any thermal moor baths if you have any medical condition(s) or contraindications)
