A respected ancient healer, Paracelsus, understood healing to come from the earth and knew the healing properties of moor. Moor has been an important health and wellness ingredient for many centuries, and according to sources, one of the first users of moor was Cleopatra herself. Modern research was influenced by Professor Otto Stöber, a researcher who founded the Austrian Moor Research Institute in the 1940’s. His work has been continued by others, including Walter Kosmath in the 1950’s. He discovered tiefenmoor (a deeper deposit of moor near Vorarlberg, Austria). In most European countries today, Moor remains a respected and sought after therapy. A brief perusal of current clinical research reveals thousands of published studies in journals around the world on the therapeutic value of Moor.
Moor is a rich, organic mud, formed by time and composed of thousands of plants, which has been proven to be quite similar to the composition of the human body. Moor an ideal ingredient in body and skin care compounds, as its bio-availability aids in nourishing the body as well as assisting in its detoxification. This gives therapists a powerful tool to assist clients in reestablishing their body’s ability to heal. The anti-inflammatory properties of Moor assist in healing skin disorders such as psoriasis, and inflammation of the joints, as in Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is a natural antiseptic and works to balance hormones as well.
Every Moor Spa product includes the rich, black moor water as the signature ingredient. This water is extracted from the moor by a process of filtration which takes several weeks to complete. It contains most of the moor’s water-soluble nutrients and is therefore extremely nourishing to the skin and body.
