Hungarian Mud
Also
known as Moor Mud, I have been intrigued by this superstar ingredient
since I first heard of it. Found in bogs around Europe, this organic
substance is essentially decomposed plant material from thousands of
years ago. Sound stinky? Not so. This purifying mud contains a high
level of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and trace
elements. The bogs even have their own natural filtration process-
the top layer acts as a barrier, keeping oxygen and modern day toxins
out of the pristine mud underneath. The result is a deeply
nourishing, healing, and detoxifying mud that can be used both
internally and externally.
The use of therapeutic mud dates back to Egyptian times and more recently in the 1940's. Used for hormone balance, pain relief, detoxification and general well-being, Moor Mud rapidly became popular in Austrian spa treatments. After clinical studies by the German and Austrian governments, Moor mud became mainstream and is still used today by European physicians.
But what fascinates me most is Moor Mud's remarkable effect on SKIN!!! A simple google search for "bog people" will bring up some truly creepy pictures of bodies that were mummified in this European mud. Due to insanely perfect conditions, the skin on these bodies (which date back to 8000 BCE) is in near immaculate condition! I always think of this story of "The Girl of Uchter Moor." Her body was discovered in 2000 and initially thought to be that of a girl that disappeared in 1969. Upon DNA testing they discovered that the body was from 764 to 515 BC. Maybe it's just me, but I would think that under moderate observation, forensic experts might know the difference between a 31 year old corpse and a 2,600 year old one.
This only leads me to believe that Moor Mud has amazing anti-aging properties, and should be applied to our skin. Frequently. I know there are a lot of new scientific anti-aging products out there, and I do believe that many of them work. But how long have they been around? Certainly not for thousands of years. The proof is in the pudding, in this case. The very dark muddy pudding.
So I urge you to come try for yourself. Eminence has a wonderful Hungarian Herbal Mud Treatment that can be incorporated into your facial at Spa Moab. This treatment will stimulate circulation, aid in detoxification (great for acne), heal and soothe irritations, and promote young, healthy, glowing skin! Hope to see you soon.
