Moor mud – an old natural resource with a versatile application spectrum has had an impact on humans’ health awareness for many years.
All around Bad Aibling, the oldest moor spa in Bavaria, you will find one of the largest high moor areas in Germany where the peat is transformed in an untouched manner.

Most of today’s existing moors have their seeds in the post-glacial period, which means approximately 10,000 years ago. The melted ice left behind huge areas of wetlands in which dead plants decomposed into turf. The “Koller Filzen” in Bad Aibling is

Due to the extreme conditions with constant waterlogging, acid soil moisture and nutrient deficiency, it is almost only possible for specialists among the sensitive plants or animals to survive. These include many endangered species on the red list. Many plants, e. g. spruce (commonly known as moor mountain pine), cotton grass and milk-parsley or the “carnivorous” sundew can be found only here.

Many moor applications not only use the excellent thermal effects, but also let the peat’s ingredients have an influence on the organism. With this, the materials developing during humification (i. e. parts of plants converting in the moor) have a special significance. Without air, plant components like for example medicinal herbs become moor which can be envisioned
