PEAT TREATMENTS
We are the first and only Finnish Peat Sauna in the United States. In addition to the powerfully detoxing peat treatments, we offer private sauna sessions as well as other traditional Finnish sauna treatments.
WHAT IS PEAT?
Peat is created through the slow accumulation of partially decayed vegetation and other organic matter, including mosses, sedges, and shrubs, that collects naturally in various wetland areas, like fens, bogs, marshes, moors, and swamps.
Most modern peat bogs started forming approximately 12,000 years ago in high latitudes after the glaciers retreated at the end of the last ice age. For this reason, most peat deposits are found at higher northern latitudes, including in Finland, whose natural climate, geography, and environment are especially ideal for peat bog formation.
WHY PEAT?
Peat contains potent, bioactive ingredients known for their beneficial effects on various conditions. Its fulvic acid and humic substances shield the skin from free radicals, enhance collagen production, and improve skin elasticity, making it ideal for skin, hair, and scalp treatments. Peat also promotes cell turnover, tightens pores, and exhibits mild astringent and anti-inflammatory properties, benefiting those with psoriasis, eczema, or sensitive skin.
Moreover, peat supports internal cleansing and detoxification, making it suitable for whole-body treatments like sauna sessions or peat baths. It boosts blood flow and metabolism, but due to its detoxifying effects, ample hydration is crucial during peat treatments. It's important to note that peat treatments are not recommended during pregnancy.

"The Works" - Full Body Peat Treatment
2 hours
$250
​
This treatment can be done without the sauna and therefore this treatment is suitable for those who may not wish to, or cannot, be in the sauna but still want the benefits of Finnish peat.
Warmed peat is applied to your shower clean body, initially to your back and legs, as you lay on the treatment table. The peat is then covered to retain the moisture and heat and you are additionally covered in a heated and weighted "peat blanket". The peat is left to act while you relax. A cupping instrument is used to encourage lymph movement once the peat is removed. The application is repeated on the front side of your body and finally a face mask is applied for about 10 minutes.
Peat Bath
1.5 hours
$135
​
A peat bath is a gentler way to receive the treatment for anyone whose system is compromised for any reason. You will first get your body warmed up either in the sauna, under a red light or in the infrared sauna. You will apply the peat on your body to initially absorb the beneficial minerals and then you will enter the bath. The bath is replenished with warm water as you stay in it for 30 minutes and continue to self-massage your body. Given that the peat will be in the bath water, its effect is more homeopathic in nature. Individuals with very compromised health will enter the bath with the peat already in the water as opposed to applying it on their skin first.

​
Private Peat Wrap
$250 (one person)
This treatment can also be done without the sauna and therefore this treatment is suitable for those who may not wish to, or cannot, be in the sauna but still want the benefits of Finnish peat.
Warmed peat is applied to your back, after which you lie down on your back on the treatment table. You will then be wrapped in several layers of heat retaining wrap followed by several wool blankets.
The peat is left to act, during which you can relax in complete peace. At the end of the effect time, a cooling face mask is applied for about 10 minutes. After this you can take a shower.
​
Localized Peat Treatment
$85 (one person)
45 -60 minutes
The localized Peat treatment is best for folks who have a specific part or area of their body in need of some attention. The localized treatment does not involve sauna and is much shorter in duration that any of our other treatments. The peat is heated up and applied by Tanjariitta to the specific area of the body.
