Benefits of Moor Mud
Moor Mud is more than mud (pun fully intended).
Did you know Moor Mud is actually formed by the decomposition of herbs, grasses and flowers over a long period of time? Fascinating right? Nature never rushes yet everything is always accomplished, and accomplished so very well, especially when it comes to this divine and complex mélange of extracts.
Moor Mud is featured in our rituals - including our Spring Seasonal Mud Season ritual - for many reasons, some of the main reasons being:
Over 1,300 natural, organic plant enzymes, bio-minerals, trace elements, amino acids, fatty acids and vitamins have been identified within the mud. (Sourced from Amalie Blog). A Moor Mud mask in fact is an opportunity to absorb these beneficial substances.
Moor Mud’s humic substances have been shown to have antimicrobial, antibacterial and even HIV-inhibiting powers in vitro (source).
Moor Mud is a natural anti-inflammatory and mild astringent, which is why Moor Mud has been used for centuries – documented as far back as Roman times – as a whole body treatment for body aches and pains, and treatment of arthritis. In recent research, Moor Mud (peat) has also been used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-itch agent in patients with dermatitis and psoriasis (source).
If you’ve never experienced this version of nature’s medicine, it’s a must. We once had a client visit us with extremely sore feet after a day on her feet in the mountains and she left her treatment - which included a Moor Mud Mask for the feet - feeling noticeably less fatigued and sensational. What a testimony to the power of nature.
