Moor bath and peat pack in the Gräflicher Park Grand Resort

A moor bath and moor pack in the Gräflicher Park Bad Driburg in North Rhine-Westphalia is just one of the wellness offers in the spa area of ​​the hotel. Our tour of the Castle Park led us through the English landscape park. We discovered both the labyrinth and colorful tulip beds. In the spa area we see the new Ayurveda center. Next to it is the therapy center with its treatment rooms. Adjacent to this is the resort's own moor. The natural bog lies outside the formal part of the park. From there, the therapy center obtains the fresh moor for its moor bath.

 

 

During our visit to one, we saw how healing moor can be Moor healer in Anthering near Salzburg experience. There we discovered how Moor is used culinary. In Bad Driburg, we get to know the outer application of the mud bath and peat pack in the therapy center. These applications are open to hotel guests. Day visitors can also use them.

 

 

This is how mud baths and peat packs work

Before our visit, I had tried to find out information on how a peat pack runs. However, I found no satisfactory answers. So I was curious about what to expect. When you walk through the mud bath, you first show us what a mud bath looks like.

The substance in the metal bathtub is black and viscous. A glass of water sits on the edge of the tub along with two white towels. A glance into the tub reveals that these towels won't stay white for long. Those taking a peat bath lie in the liquid peat for about 12 minutes. "Afterwards, you feel like you've just finished a few hours of fieldwork," our companion laughs. "Peat baths are strenuous." A shower follows. Afterwards, you should rest to recover your strength.

In a peat pack, you lie in black soil

I still don't know how our mud bath and mud pack will go. I imagine the moor being placed on me in a clean package. Wallowing in black broth isn't exactly my idea of ​​wellness. However, my expectations are shattered when I see the clinical treatment room.

A simple cot is covered with a sheet of plastic. Several blankets lie underneath. "Undress," our therapist instructs. She takes a bucket of peat and spreads it thickly at the head of the cot. "The peat is heated to 46° Celsius. Sit on the cot and lie down on your back in the peat," she directs me. "Oh dear," I think. "Now I'm going to be wallowing in mud." But I've already agreed to it. So I might as well let the ritual wash over me.

She wraps me in the blankets. â € œYou will be lying there for twenty minutes. Then I'll be back.â €

 

 

Warm moor is doing well

If I initially feared that the moor would be too warm to be comfortable, I soon realize that this is not the case. On the contrary! It doesn't take long and I nestle in the warm mass of the moor. My mud bath and my mud pack create a comfortable feeling. Moor packs also help with back problems and arthrosis. However, since I don't have either of them, I can simply enjoy the pleasant feeling of lying in the moor. It doesn't take long and I drift off into deep relaxation.

After twenty minutes, our therapist peels me out of my mud bath and my mud pack. After a shower, I'm wrapped in warm sheets again and allowed to rest for another twenty minutes.

Even if a mud bath and a mud pack initially cost you a little effort, I would do them again at any time. The pleasant warmth and the velvety feeling of the moor on the skin ensure a real pleasurable experience.
