A special form of connective tissue massage is segment massage. The basis is a reflex relationship between certain spinal cord segments and corresponding cutaneous nerve centers. These centers can present themselves as interference fields. During the segment massage, exactly these skin regions in which the interference fields are located are treated using special massage and stroking techniques.

Effects : Metabolism and hormone production are stimulated, blood circulation throughout the body is significantly increased and improved, and the lymphatic system is stimulated. Furthermore, mobility is promoted, joint pain is relieved, muscles are relaxed, and connective tissue is loosened. Due to its many mineral components, peat also has a very positive effect on the skin and contains anti-inflammatory humic acid.

Indication : The intense warming effect of peat is primarily used for rheumatic and degenerative joint and spinal diseases. It also provides relief for post-treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, osteoporosis, chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and urinary tract, gynecological conditions, and circulatory disorders. A period of rest is recommended after a peat bath, as the body is placed under considerable strain during the treatment.

After an alternating bath with warm and cold spray water in separate arm and foot basins, carbon dioxide gas is applied to the extremities. The CO2 gas bath is an alternative to the carbon dioxide bubble bath or mineral bath,
since there is no central hydrostatic pressure on the body trunk.

Effect : Alternating between warm and cold stimuli stimulates the metabolism and improves the body's oxygen supply. The additional introduction of CO2 gas alters blood circulation via the skin capillaries and can lower blood pressure.

You relax in an original copper tub filled with warm mineral healing water at up to 38 degrees.

Effect: The natural minerals and trace elements have a positive effect on many processes in the human body. The body absorbs dissolved ingredients such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and many others
up and recycles them. Essentially important trace elements regulate the acid-base balance and water balance. The minerals are involved in the absorption and transport of nutrients as well as blood clotting, protect and strengthen bones, stabilize the heartbeat, help regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels and neutralize free radicals. For optimization purposes, natural healing waters are recommended as drinking sources.

Duration : first application 15 minutes, from the second application onwards 20 minutes + rest time

You bathe in natural, carbonated mineral healing water that is up to 34 degrees warm, in an original copper tub, where you absorb the natural carbon dioxide through your entire skin.

Effects: The small blood vessels dilate, thereby improving blood circulation, accelerating oxygen and other metabolic processes, and lowering blood pressure and heart rate. Transport processes in the body are accelerated, and the nervous system is calmed.

Indications: General (mild to moderate) heart disease without heart failure with shortness of breath at rest. High blood pressure (arterial hypertension), overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), arterial circulatory disorders up to and including occlusive disease, deep vein thrombosis/microcirculatory disorders (venous insufficiency), fibromyalgia, autonomic nervous system disorders.

Duration: first application 15 minutes, from the second application onwards 20 minutes + rest time
