Research conducted throughout Europe over the past 50 years has revealed the following therapeutic properties of moor:
Bio-Available: Because many of the organic substances present within the moor are in a colloidal (suspension) form they are highly bio-available (easily absorbed by the body). The inorganic substances (iron, manganese, copper and zinc being particularly valuable to the body) are in bivalent form and are therefore small enough to be easily absorbed by the system.
Thermal Transmission: Thermal properties enable the substance to retain and transmit heat (or cold) over an extended period. This can have a beneficial effect on the skin and underlying tissues and organs.
Antiseptic: The moor contains lignin and bitumen, both of which contain high proportions of phenol substances. These act as natural antiseptics.
Detoxifying: The high proportion of humic acid and other humus substances enables the moor to both draw and absorb toxic substances trapped in the tissues. Detoxification is now widely recognized as an important component of health care maintenance and anti-aging.
Homonal Support: Moor contains several substances that are similar to hormones and these help to stimulate and regenerate the cellular functioning of the body.
Anti-Inflammatory: Moor has consistently been found to exert an anti-inflammatory effect on irritated or inflamed tissues.
Ion-Exchanging: The presence of humic acids also causes an exchange reaction in which harmful positive ions in the tissues are replaced by revitalizing negative ions present within the moor.
Bio-Energy Potency: Kirlian photography reveals the bio-energy or ‘vital force’ present within natural therapeutic substances. The Tiefenmoor has been found to exhibit very high levels of bio-energy. Many nature-cure scientists claim that the bio-energy is absorbed into the tissues, resulting in regeneration on a cellular level.
“After the moor treatments our clients feel refreshed, relaxed and stress-free. Many have reported feeling a "glow" - an inner warmth that lasts for several hours afterwards. Others have experienced significant relief from aches and pains and other health problems."
