Over the past centuries, remains of many
hundreds of people-- men, women, and children--have come to light in peat
bogs in northwestern Europe, especially in Ireland, Great Britain, the
Netherlands, northern Germany, and Denmark. Peatlands are most extensive
in northern regions. They develop where drainage of water is blocked, precipitation
is retained, and decomposition of organic matter is slowed. Because of
their highly acidic nature, wetness, low temperature, and absence of oxygen,
northern bogs have become a repository of past life.
The bog people are amazingly well-preserved with fingernails, hair,
and teeth in excellent condition. How is this possible when the dates range
from 8000 B.C. to the early medieval times?
The peat (Moor Peat) contained in the bogs has amazing preserving
properties which contribute to its ability to both combat aging
and enhance health. Peat has excellent moisture- retaining qualities
which improves skin elasticity.
When peat is applied to the skin, penetrates partially between
the epidermis cells of the skin. A, producing an exchange reaction
of ions is produced when the binding process with albumin in the
skin occurs. The harmful positive ions in the skin tissues are
exchanged for the rejuvenating negative ions in the moor peat.
These particles are captured by the blood vessels in the system,
carried throughout the body to help healing.
The rejuvenating benefits can be attributed to the abundance of
essential oils, fatty acids and lipoids. These penetrate into the
skin re-establishing the skin's natural pH balance. When you apply
the moor peat to your skin, the increased flow of blood to the
skin can be seen by the flush of color seen on the skin when the
peat is rinsed off. This characteristic of Moor Peat makes it most
effective as an addition to any anti-aging and beauty treatment
for the skin.
The soluble organic and inorganic active ingredients leave the
skin detoxified, purified, and toned. It's naturally hypoallergenic
and powerful and yet gentle.
The anti-inflammatory, bactericidal astringent and its bioavailability
properties of Moor Peat make it an excellent skin treatment both
for healthy and problem skin.
It has been found to be helpful in treating acne, eczema, psoriasis,
burns, scars, stretch marks, and cellulite.
For Cellulite, an inflammation of the subcutaneous tissues caused
by a build up of toxins, poor blood circulation and fluid retention
due to weak lymphatic flow, Moor Peat improves both the inflammation
and its causes, making it an excellent treatment for cellulite
and an aid to weight loss.
In fine spas Moor Peat (or Moor Mud) is regularly used as bath,
body wrap, and facial treatments. Cost for these treatments can
be as high as $150 for a body wrap, $100 for a bath, and $85 for
a mud mask or facial mask. These spa treatments can be done successfully
at home for fraction of the cost by purchasing fine quality Moor
Peat from a quality supplier such as Moor Mud Baths (http://www.moormudbaths.com).
