Hot packs applied to certain parts of the body overheats them, thus increasing the blood circulation and the elimination of metabolic wastes. The positive effects of peat packs are: pain relief, improved function and regeneration. Peat packs have certain advantages over Fango and Parafango applications.

If the patient is peat-intolerant, sacks of wildflowers (Heublumen) can be substituted. Please do not shower with soap after therapy.
