For a new body feeling<br />

The miracle of the hay... and other true tales of beauty<br />

and well-being.<br />

Life in the mountains of South Tyrol was austere. To make sure that the food for the<br />

livestock lasted through the winter, the farmers gathered every blade of grass from<br />

the Alpine meadows and steep slopes of the mountainsides and brought it all into the<br />

mountain huts. After the arduous work, they spent the night in the haystack. The hay<br />

makers soon noticed that they awoke the next morning feeling particularly refreshed and<br />

that all their exhaustion had vanished. The news of this spread. Very soon the first people<br />

from outside the region came „to bathe in the hay“. Servants even had bathing leave<br />

written into their contracts. For it was realised that the hay not only had a restorative<br />

effect, it also seemed to have healing properties - for example in cases of rheumatism<br />

or arthritis. Walking sticks, which guests had left behind after the cure, were proudly<br />

displayed.<br />

Today, South Tyrolean mountain meadow hay is as good as ever. For only hay from<br />

untreated Alpine meadows high up the mountains with their wealth of types of Alpine<br />

grasses and herbs (more than 40 species per 50 square metres) may bear this name.<br />

The hay is harvested by hand, at enormous expense. Relax for 20-30 minutes in warm,<br />

scented hay - the effect is impressive! Even if we leave aside the healing effect on the<br />

body - the soul emerges refreshed from the South Tyrolean hay bath.<br />

This is due to the essential oils which reach the oldest part of our brain through the<br />

nose. There, in the limbic system, feelings and memories are stored, to which we have no<br />

access. Scents activate them, well-being and lightness of spirit are radiated and we feel<br />

as light-hearted as a child in summer in the country.<br />
