On average, the human body consists of 67% water. It is therefore not surprising that water also plays a decisive role in terms of health.
The beneficial warmth of moor, fango and mud was discovered early on. Mud baths were documented as a natural remedy as early as the 14th century.
The climate has long had a major influence on well-being. Those seeking relaxation are most likely to find it in an environment with a balanced temperature and constant humidity.
Kneipp cures are probably among the best-known water treatments. However, Kneipp therapy also includes nutrition, herbs, exercise and inner balance in addition to the water pillar.

Mud bath
A moor bathing treatment involves alternating a bathing day with a bath-free day. The bathing temperature is usually 39 degrees Celsius to begin with and is adjusted as needed. Warm natural moor baths are intensively effective treatments, so after showering, you go to a relaxation room for rest, an essential part of any bathing therapy.
Mud pack
Packs are generally used wherever a full mud bath is contraindicated or may be too stressful. The approx. 3 cm thick natural mud bath with a temperature of up to 45 degrees Celsius is offered locally, either as a large pack from the torso to the buttocks, as a partial body pack on the torso, stomach, back, joints or for mud kneading for hands and feet. Packs are applied warm or cold depending on the indication. Cold natural mud packs, with their deep thermal effects, can provide effective and gentle support for inflammatory processes, among other things.
Drinking cure
Contrary to some expectations, peat tastes and smells pleasantly neutral, especially when it is taken mixed with water or juice. When drinking peat, which is tested and approved as a food supplement, the valuable ingredients of the "black gold" reach exactly where they are supposed to work to regulate the acid-base balance and to regenerate the intestinal flora and intestinal mucous membranes - in the intestine.
Fango pack
The fango is heated and then applied as a pack around three centimetres thick. For better results, the patient is wrapped in special towels and wool blankets. The fango pack is applied for approximately 30 minutes, and it also heats deeper tissue for a long time.
TYPES OF SOIL
This label is awarded to health resorts that use peat baths as a medicinal remedy. Peat can be used in the form of packs and full baths in tubs.
Clay has a therapeutic effect due to its fine clay particles. These can bind large amounts of water, acid and other substances. The clay paste is applied to the area to be treated in a thickness of at least two centimeters. While the clay dries, the body can detoxify.
Fango consists of sand, silt and clay and is formed from deposits of rock weathering. For therapeutic use, the volcanic rock is finely ground and processed into fango mud or parafango. To produce parafango, the powdered rock is enriched with liquid paraffin. After the mass has hardened, it is sawn into blocks and delivered. In the practices, these are melted in an oven at a medium temperature and cool down slowly. Once the core of the mass has reached around 50 degrees Celsius, you can, for example, lie on your back in the fango.
