Moor Peat Detox Wrap
Many spas offer a watered-down version of the Eastern European tradition of moor therapy. However, not all moor "mud" is the same (in fact, it isn't "mud" at all!) In this treatment, we combine several therapeutic treatments into one service. Body brushing, Moor therapy, massage, aromatherapy, and a mineral springs soak are combined for full-body experience.
Moor peat is an organic product resulting from natural decomposition of multitudes of plants under special conditions. Unlike other mud used in the spa industry, ours contains virtually no clay (less then 3%) and consists of an organic residue of herbs, flowers and grasses. Over a period of thousands of years this residue was transformed. Its uncanny ability to heal, nourish and detoxify has been observed by people for millennia and has been used scientifically in European Spas for well over a century.
Our therapy-grade moor peat harvested from the western region of the Czech Republic has an unusual concentration of bio-mineral, trace elements, vitamins, amino acids, plant hormones and fatty acids. Moor peat contains a myriad of nutrients, natural trace elements, minerals, and humic substances easily absorbed through human skin.
Moor therapy is used for a multitude of ailments from mobility problems, arthritis, and hormonal imbalance to post surgery recovery and muscle recovery in sport medicine. Moor therapy is indicated for inflammatory conditions of the joints and muscles, circulatory complaints, hormonal and female problems, gastrointestinal and skin troubles, ulcers, and autoimmune diseases. Its actions are thermophysical, biochemical, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and natural antibiotic.

Arthritis/Pain Relief Wrap
Our Moor Peat is mixed with essential oils used for relieving pain (arthritis as well as muscle pain) and is applied to the body as a warm paste. You are wrapped while your therapist massages your head and feet to offer a deep sense of relaxation. The moor peat is removed in a warm mineral bath. You may choose to add paraffin to this treatment to enhance pain relief for hands and/or feet.
Paraffin Treatment
Paraffin envelopes your hands & feet in deep penetrating heat to soothe stiffness, aches & pains associated with overuse, muscle spasms, or arthritis. Joints feel less inflamed and more flexible, muscles relax, and cold extremities are warmed. Moisturizer is applied before dipping your hands or feet so your skin emerges silky smooth.
The Springs uses the PerfectSense Paraffin system eliminating risk of infection, contamination and the traditional drawbacks of paraffin dips- resulting in a premium paraffin experience. The PerfecTemp™ delivery system heat the individual paraffin packs to an ideal immersion temperature, using natural mineral technology, in only five minutes. The infusion of heat stimulates blood vessel dilation for increased blood flow, tissue relaxation for relief of sore muscles and achy joints, and perspiration for hydration and detoxification.
Deep Moisture Body Masque
For those who suffer from dry skin, this body masque is the ultimate treatment. Following body brushing to exfoliate & stimulate the skin, a special selection of ingredients including avocado oil, shea butter, borage oil, and skin rejuvenating essential oils to help heal dry skin are applied to the body and left to absorb. This treatment includes a scalp and foot massage while you are wrapped. Excess masque is removed with warm moist towels infused with essential oils and moisturizer is massaged onto the body to complete the treatment. This body treatment with slight modifications is available during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. Approx 70 min

Manicures & Pedicures
The Springs nail services are an alternative to typical nail salon services in many ways. Our technicians are focused on providing gentle, effective treatments, and clients are educated about healthy nail care and offered natural solutions to common problems associated with the hands and feet. We do not apply artificial nails, as we value the intrinsic beauty of the natural nails. We offer a wide range of polish colors in a professional line of lacquers that are free from toxic chemicals such as di-butyl phthalate (associated with birth defects), formaldehyde (a potent irritant), and tolulene (a toxic thinning agent). This reduces exposure to toxic chemicals for clients with chemical sensitivities and pregnant women.
While some clients seek out our services particularly because we offer natural alternatives, others receive the advantage of healthier nail care by virtue of the availability at The Springs. Diabetics and clients with other conditions that require special precautions are welcome at The Springs as we have the resources to facilitate safe administration of nail care. We always follow hospital sanitation guidelines to guard against infection.
