Hay-bathing
Hay-bathing is one of the most ancient and efficient natural remedies, which was discovered, almost by chance, by the farmers who went to the mountain for stocking up with hay for their animals. During the night they slept covered with the hay and the day after they really felt in top form and ready for another hard day of work.
For that reason people thought they could take advantage from these herbs thanks to real hay-bath therapies.
The treatment consists in lowering into a bed of herbs and alpine flowers previously cut and rest, and lay down in this bed of hay for about twenty minutes.
Alchimilla, artemisia, festuca, valerian, lavender and the other herbs, which made this efficacious mix, start the fermentation and the heat they generate helps the elimination of liquids and toxins and, at the same time, they moisturize the skin and regenerate muscles, articulations and bones. To say nothing about the depurative, relaxing and dermatological effects.
As this unusual "green sauna" ends you still lay, covered with wool blankets, in order to finish the perspiration.
