Torf Krasno Peat: Used as body
wrap or peat pack
Torf Natural Peat Bath, because of its consistency, is
excellent for mud body wrap or peat pack. Use for general detoxification, poor
mobility issues, muscle spasms, sprains, strains, pain treatment, acne, eczema,
chest congestion, psoriasis, reduction body wrap or
cellulite reduction. Versatile in that
it may be used hot or cold – depending on patient’s complaint.
Hot Peat uses: detox, acne,
stiffness, chronic spasm, pain, chest congestion, most chronic conditions.
Cold Peat uses: acute pain, acute swelling, acute sprain,
most acute conditions with pain and swelling.
(If treatment area is
localized, large and flat, consider using the Torf Krasno single peat foments as they
are easier to manage, fast and as effective.)
Be well hydrated. Drink water well for a week before
treatment. Do not drink caffeine prior
just before treatment or after. After
treatment, maintain hydration as without fatigue or headache may result.
Do not place on open wounds
and ensure sensation to temperature is present.
To Heat Peat: Boil water in pot. Place peat
inside glass jar or steel bowl. Place
peat container into hot water. Add hot
water to peat for desired consistency.
Wait few minutes until desired temperature. Peat should be hot but not boiling. (No microwave. Microwave is inconsistent heating and result may
burn the client. Microwave and boiling also destroys beneficial nutrients and bioactive
enzymes in the peat thereby rendering the treatment ineffective.)
Ensure temperature of peat is
not going to burn. Apply even layer of hot
peat to treatment area or whole body.
Wrap treatment area and/or body in a thermal blanket or foil. Treatment time: 20 minutes. Rinse off peat without soap. Relax wrapped in dry blanket for 20
minutes. No soap for 12 hours post
therapy as soap washes off beneficial nutrients prevents treatment from
progressing.
Keep client warm and out of
drafts for 3 hours. Have client drink warm
water afterwards. Cold water post treatment will shock
the system.
Limit treatment to 3 times
per week for 3 weeks then give a week off and repeat if needed.
May feel fatigued after
treatment, this is normal. The treatment
is powerful. Rest and drink plenty of filtered
water. Repeat in two to three days.
The client should notice a improvement within a week at the latest with proper
treatment. Most patients will feel
something immediately.
To Cool Peat: Place peat in freezer for 10 minutes or until very
cold. Do not freeze. Add cold water for desired consistency.
Apply cold peat to treatment
area for 20 to 30 minutes. Wrap with
saran wrap or foil. Cover with wet cold
towel followed by dry towel. Repeat daily or as needed to reduce swelling
and acute pains.
Swelling and pain typically gone after one treatment. If swelling or pain returns, repeat. Remember, cold is for acute conditions typically. Cold may be used in contrast therapy, also.
