Scio-Bad Aiblinger moor cushion therapy - 40x60 cm, 4000 g

The Scio-Bad Aiblinger Peat Cushion is a therapeutic thermal cushion used for localized hot and cold therapy for various ailments. It is used to support the treatment of chronic, widespread back pain, tension, lumbago, sciatica, sprains, and rheumatic complaints.

The peat cushion is based on the use of natural peat, which has been used in medical applications for about 200 years. Over the last 70 years, the positive properties of peat have been particularly researched in the field of spa and medico-therapeutic applications. In the last 20 years, it has been found that peat, due to its interesting active ingredients, is also used in other medical areas such as internal medicine, urology, and dermatology.

One of the most important properties of peat is its ability to store heat or cold for a long time and release it slowly. Compared to other materials such as water, thermogel, or fango, natural peat can store heat significantly longer and release it more slowly.

The application of the peat cushion with heat can relieve pain in cases of wear and tear, promote blood circulation, and improve the nutrient supply to cells and joints. The prolonged release of heat loosens and relaxes stiff muscles.

The Bad Aiblinger Peat Cushion is handmade. The freshly harvested peat is cleaned of stones and branches and stirred with water into a airy paste. This paste is then hand-filled into a flexible film and sealed. The increased air inclusion enhances the storage and release capacity for heat or cold.

The peat cushion can be effectively used for tension in the neck/shoulder area, back pain, joint problems, menstrual cramps, rheumatic complaints, lumbago, sciatica, sprains, and bruises. It offers a natural and supportive therapy option for these conditions.

Application of the peat cushions

Heating in a water bath:

The cushion can also be gently warmed in a water bath. Please do not boil peat cushions in a pot and do not heat them in the oven! Boil water, remove the pot from the hob, place the peat cushion in the hot water, let it steep for 10-15 minutes, pat it dry, and apply it to the affected areas.

Cold application:

For cold application, the peat cushion is placed in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Lifespan

With proper use, the peat cushion can be used for approx. 1 1/2 to 2 years due to the durability of the film.
