Dear Interested TORF Customer:

 

Peat therapy is on the move here in the United States.  With few doctors, massage therapists and spas doing this form of treatment, it is an exciting niche.  For over 200 years, Eastern Europe has been at the forefront of peat treatment providing balneotherapy education in universities, spa treatment for numerous conditions and researching the effects of peat. 

 

TORF Krasno, a Czech based peat company, has entered the United States market providing high-quality, Balneo-grade peat.

 

A bit about peat:  Balneo Peat is an organic substance produced by natural decomposition of numerous plants under special conditions.  Unlike other peat used in the spa industry, Balneo peat contains virtually no clay and is not dehydrated.  Balneo peat consists of mosses, minerals, herbs, flowers and grasses.  Over thousands of years, this residue transformed into a fine paste that easily dissolves in water allowing the unusual concentration of bio-minerals, trace elements, amino acids, plant hormones and fatty acids to penetrate the human skin.  Think of it not as a plant extract from one plant - but hundreds.   The range of conditions that peat therapy improves is growing by the decade as research and clinical use expands.  Currently, peat therapy is used for:  mobility issues, arthritis, pain, hormonal imbalance, muscle recovery, poor immune function, cancer, infertility, spasms, sprains, detoxification, skin toning and others that are not so mainstream.

 

Peat’s ability to improve a vast range of conditions is no secret yet the precise mechanisms are proving to be challenging to determine.  There is research pointing to numerous active ingredients in peat; such as humic and fulvic acids, pH, and stage of decomposition.  The research is excellent to have yet one must be cautious in trying to determine all of peat’s active constituents.  It is understood by great physicians and herbalists that it is not one or three active constituents that make a substance active – yet it is the sum and interaction of all parts combined.  The most important item to consider with peat is the quality.

 

Quality of peat is determined by the content of humic and fulvic acid, pH, water, sulphur, stage of decomposition, odor, heat capacity, no contaminants, packaging and freshness.  TORF Krasno’s peat meets these quality criteria.  Most companies have dried out their peat in order to save on shipping costs.  When a company dries out peat, bioactive elements are destroyed; nutrient absorption into the skin is decreased and the colloidal suspension in bath water is decreased.  TORF does not dry out their peat nor add any preservatives, menthol, salicylates, chemicals or oils.  The Czech Ministry of Health checks TORF’s peat for quality and contaminants.  It is then harvested, stirred and packaged as a 100% pure unaltered Balneo-grade peat.

 

TORF peat and their other products are used in world famous spa resorts, naturopathic clinics, athletic facilities, massage centers and others in the medical field.  We invite you to try TORF Krasno Balneo Peat on yourself.  Once you’ve experienced it, then invite a patient to do so.  No other natural product can do so much as quickly, efficiently and as inexpensively as peat. 

 

There are contraindications to this treatment and all who use TORF Krasno peat must be familiarized with peat therapy.  We provide information and continued customer service free of charge.  It is important to us that you understand peat therapy correctly.  When used correctly, patients and clients will be happy and so will you.
