First time | Peat sauna experience "Part 1"

My first contact with the world of peat treatments was one winter day.

I tested a peat sauna .

By the way, I'll tell you that I went to the sauna with a very skeptical mind. Of course, I was
I've read and heard about the good effects of peat treatments, but I'm very skeptical about these types of things.

My inner child came to life there on the sauna benches and laughed heartily.
brown and cool peat on my skin. And besides, without remembering anything anymore
instructions or health benefits.

I have to admit that at the time I was absolutely certain that peat treatments were complete nonsense, another stupid method that would fade into oblivion within a year.

The only fun thing is that you can dive into the feelings of a childhood mud puddle, with peat sloshing all over your body.

After the sauna and the peat bath, I also got a neck and shoulder massage. It felt
nice, but it didn't really bring any relief to this stone-necked person.

We got to test some products while drying and I fell in love with HiusSpray. You can spray half a bottle of store-bought hair straightening sprays and it's still enough to get rid of tangles. But this spray only took a few sprays and it straightened out nicely. I just couldn't figure out what made my hair so easy to comb.

In any case, I don't think it could have anything to do with peat, because that's nonsense.

A week or so after this peat sauna, I noticed that I no longer felt the need to oil my skin all over after showering and that even the worst symptoms of dry skin had disappeared.

Dry skin hasn't really bothered me since that sauna session. Although before, in the winter I always felt like I could dive into a bathtub filled with moisturizer after a shower. Of course, I still couldn't believe that peat had anything to do with the disappearance of dry skin.

Hello Skeptic

Skeptic here again, hey! | Peat massage experience "Part 2"

This time I finally got an appointment and went to test it out.
peat massage treatment . I had been procrastinating and procrastinating on this for too long, supposedly I couldn't find the time.

To be honest, I've never had a massage before, and I didn't really know what to expect, and I was actually scared and embarrassed that I was already in such bad shape. Completely twisted and hooked. Well, but now the appointment was booked and I had to go there.

This time I was surprised that the peat that the nurse applied to my skin was actually warm. Whereas the first time it was cool and even felt cold in the heat of the sauna.

The peat applied to the skin and the warm peat bags were very relaxing. I felt the need to talk and joke the whole time because it started to relax me so much that I almost fell asleep on the treatment table.

The treatment lasted about an hour, during which time I got to experience warm peat on my skin, warm peat bath bags applied to my body, a suction cup massage on my back, a massage that started at the head, continued to the hands, fingers, feet, toes, and focused especially on the bad muscle spasms in my back.

Let me tell you again that when I came for treatment and sat down on the treatment table
I was very stressed, very negatively charged. Not towards this treatment, but all the adversities in my personal life had made me very negative and irritable, and I had been in a bad mood all the time for the past couple of weeks.

When I got up from the treatment table, I felt incredibly light! I didn't even remember why I was there.
I was in such a bad mood this morning. All that negative baggage was left behind.
on that changing table and swims with the peat into the city's sewer system.
I felt so incredibly wonderful, so light, happy and cheerful. I smiled for no particular reason and told Katriina that I couldn't even remember the last time I had smiled like that.

I have to experience this again! So I booked another appointment.

Katriina, who did the massage and treatment, recommended 5 times of intensive treatment for me to really feel better, but she said that the muscles were still tight several times.
My hope at the time was that we would find my missing neck some day.
at the end of the treatment session.

Second peat treatment session | Peat massage "Part 3"

At the end of the first treatment, Katriina reminded me to drink plenty of water and check in the mirror to see if I saw any changes.

I remembered to drink water, but forgot to follow it through the mirror. However, I did notice one thing during the week: I felt more refreshed and slept a little.
better, and when I got up in the morning I wasn't quite as sore as I had been before.

Although the work week, with one day off, had taken its toll and I went on Sunday.
At the end of the shift, I was completely out of shape and on Monday morning I was sore and in pain. But luckily I had a second peat treatment!

The treatment was carried out this time as the first time, Katriina focused
especially the back muscles.

I don't know if I can describe in words how I felt when I got up from the treatment table and sat up, my head buzzing as the blood started circulating. I had straightened up, and my back no longer hurt, like it had when I walked in the door of the treatment room.

And most importantly and what I had been waiting for the most, I finally had a neck! A tiny stump of a neck was found, but there it was! I had it, it had just sunk between my shoulders, forgotten there for years.

When my neck popped out, my posture was partially restored and I felt beautiful. It was a great feeling.

My friend said to me, "What on earth has happened to you? You look so refreshed and happy! You were so tired and gray just a couple of weeks ago. But now you're like a different person!"

Then it dawned on me, I had to go look in the mirror and sure enough, there was a woman looking out of the mirror, her face narrowed, the dark circles under her eyes faded, the color had returned to her cheeks, and the dimple was visible again.

I told my friend that I had done enough to go twice.
in peat treatment. Maybe that's the trick :)

Part 4. The third time is the truth

After the first two treatments, I had experienced a couple of new things.
The first of these is the sensitization of the sense of smell.

After the first treatment, I could smell things so well that my child was in pain and asked, "What's wrong with your nose?"

After the second treatment, my sense of smell became more sensitive again and my sense of smell started to work.
overspeed. What is the cause? I'll have to remember to mention it to Katriina and ask if other customers have noticed something similar.

The sense of smell returns to normal after a few days of treatment, but
It becomes sensitive again after another treatment. Amazing.
I don't even know if the sensitization of the sense of smell is related to peat treatments, but so far I haven't been able to connect anything else to these cases.

Another significant improvement, in addition to all the good feeling, is the movement of fluids. My body has changed for the better. Movement has become easier and the range of motion for my arms and head has expanded. My balance is better and I can squat and get up from squats without pain. Of course, the release of muscle tightness has also contributed to these positive effects on easier movement.

This third time, Katriina started to loosen up the muscles in my chest. Oh my, listen to how wonderfully my posture changed and breathing became easier! After an hour, a slightly more erect woman walked out of the clinic, who had found a few more millimeters of her missing neck.

I don't know where it's going to end up, having experienced such drastic changes after just three treatments. And my quality of life has improved rapidly!

At the end of the treatment, I told Katriina, “This is so wonderful that I would like to share it with everyone.”
for my friends and acquaintances to have the opportunity to try this!”

And I really mean it. I recommend you try it!

Part 5. Positive changes

The week after the third treatment, I remembered to check in on myself and my well-being.
a little more. I had noticed so many wonderful things after my previous visits to the treatment center that I started to get really interested in this peat business.

I looked at the changes in the mirror, where I saw something not so pleasing to my eye, then I sprinkled more peat on those spots in the sauna and tried to massage the fluid in. I tried to massage it in a way that I didn't know which direction to massage in so that the fluid would go away and not rise up again where I didn't want it.

In the lobby of the Lehtopeat care center, there are various peat products on display and you can buy them, and Katriina gives good and detailed instructions for using the products at home.

I recommend checking out the selection. And the prices of the products are not too high. They are sufficient if used according to the instructions.

I had to share some of my observations..

I sleep better, or actually more soundly and better.
I wake up in the morning feeling more refreshed and energetic.

Sure, I noticed an energy spike after the first and second visits, but I thought I was going to get sick when I had enough energy to clean my house more than usual.
Usually when I'm coming down with the flu, I get a surge of energy the day or two before and I clean and tidy and do laundry. But this time it wasn't about getting sick, I've been feeling really good.

My sleep quality has improved, I sleep much more soundly.
I've always been a really light sleeper, I wake up to even the slightest noise, and I can't fall asleep unless it's very quiet in my sleeping area.

And sleeping has been, throughout my life, the most enjoyable of my hobbies, I have usually taken at least one nap, at least four hours, every single day. And I have needed at least 9 hours of sleep at night, in addition to naps.

During these three weeks I haven't missed a single nap. And a night's sleep
are perfectly sufficient for 8 hours.

As a skeptic, I of course cannot yet authentically accept that this
peat blowing would now be the source of these positive experiences of mine ;)

Part 6. The last time of intensive treatment

Wow, I've had a peat massage once a week four times now. Today is
The fifth, or last, intensive treatment session. This type of intensive treatment was chosen for me on Katriina's recommendation. And yes, I have been very pleased that I took it and started going once a week. I have had very good experiences and a lot of positive changes in my body and mind from these sessions.

This time, the body was also thoroughly examined. Katriina spread peat on my back, legs, and the front of my neck, all the way to the elastic of my underwear. Then she wrapped me in plastic wrap. No, she just put the plastic wrap on to protect me so that the peat wouldn't mess up the towels that were placed on me, so that I wouldn't freeze on the changing table.

During the peat effect, I received another wonderful scalp massage, and Katriina said,
that my scalp feels completely different. At first it was so tight and now it's completely
“loosely”. I don’t remember exactly what word he used. But practically the same
meant.

A normal hand massage was also performed, so wonderful when all the blockages disappeared.
from shoulders to fingertips. I have personally noticed that these arm massages have eliminated the lumps of strength that used to build up in my armpits, which some people call turkey bums or alli. Now they are gone!

My massage is done in a modified manner because I am unable to go to bed.
to lie on the treatment table. So, after the peat has had time to take effect, the front and legs are treated first, and then I sit on a stool and lean on the treatment table, and then the back is treated.

So if you're also having trouble getting a massage because you should be able to go
on the changing table on their stomach, then don't worry, Katriina's can do it this way too!

This concludes my 5 intensive treatments. But there are still so many products and other treatments from Lehtopeat Oy that I have yet to test, so these diary entries will be available for reading as I have time to test products and other peat stuff.

Basic information about my situation before starting peat treatments

I'll tell you a little fact about the starting situation. It's embarrassing that I even let it happen.
myself to the state I was in before starting these peat treatments.

So I had let myself get into a state where I was no longer able to move properly.
I managed my shifts with the help of strong painkillers and muscle relaxants (my job is
physical, the whole body works), after the shifts I couldn't really get back to
getting into the car, my butt hurt while driving and getting out of the car had been a struggle
been in the works for a long time.

Getting out of bed in the morning was also hard and physically painful.
The soles of the feet were like the legs of a rocking chair, the gait was jerky, very short
steps.

I felt like I had the strength of an elderly person, even though my body was only 40 years old.
I understood that something had to be done! But what and where would I get help from, when I didn't
Did you want to pop any more pills?! Because they didn't take away the cause of the pain,
only numbed the senses so that the pain was more bearable and I was able
to take care of the basics at that time.

I was hoping that exercise would help and tried to take short walks. Going for a jog
ended when I fell and hit my head pretty hard, then they went
My back muscles were sore again and I needed a walking stick again to help me move.

When I finally got the courage to come to my first sample treatment, I didn't
I didn't expect any improvement like I got there. I was able to throw away the painkillers
and muscle relaxants in the depths of the medicine cabinet and haven't needed them yet (yet)
fish out.

And although I went to test these treatments with great skepticism, I must say...
once: I'm so glad I went! And I recommend it to you too, even if you haven't let me go.
yourself into the same mess I got myself into.

And I hope everyone remembers to be their own best friend and to love themselves.
Take care! I won't give up on these anymore, I owe these treatments to myself!
