GHARIENI MLX QUARTZ

THE PSAMMO CONCEPT

PSAMMO THERAPY – A TRADITION THAT DATES BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS…

Psammotherapy (Hot Sand Therapy) was initially used in Ancient Egypt for medical treatment to treat a number of ailments ranging from scoliosis to inflammatory diseases. Today, psammotherapy is used in wellness and spa resorts to provide mental and physical relaxation. The Gharieni Group created a quartz sand bed to elevate the experience and provide supreme comfort to guests enjoying the multiple benefits of quartz therapy. Integrating aromatherapy, inversion therapy, undulating massage – all at a touch of a button truly renders unique and satisfying moments.

In 1980, on the island of Ischia located in the Italian Mediterrenean, Rita Blum immersed herself into a bed of hot sand and emerged completely rejuvenated and reborn. Upon her return to Germany, her husband used his carpentry skills to build a box like structure, integrated a heating unit and filled it with sand. Rita tested the sand bed and declared that it replicated the benefits of Ischia, thereby creating the first prototype of the now famous MLX Quartz. They soon began to commercialize their invention which elicited the attention of the Gharieni Group, a manufacturer of medical equipment at the time. They brought in the original inventor and collaborated to improve and refine the bed into a real design masterpiece, ready to enhance any décor or setting. High functionality with impeccable design featuring ancient therapy approaches to promote wellness in any resort or spa setting.

BRING THE BEACH TO WHEREVER YOU ARE

Regardless of your location, whether it be an urban setting, the jungle, or even the mountains, you can now bring the benefits of quartz sand from the beach, to your resort and wellness center to recreate the benefits of sand therapy. The MLX Quartz bed is filled with coated alpha quartz sand and will provide your guests and clients with a truly unique experience.

Why quartz sand? The warm sand contours the body and limbs exquisitely, so as to alleviate any discomfort by creating a cocooning-effect. The sand itself retains heat at an optimal temperature to impart the full benefits of the treatment and is easily controllable through a touch panel located at the foot of the bed. The treatment may be stand alone as the bed has a built-in undulating massage component, to gently knead the back and neck. Or it can be integrated into a number of body modalities such as quartz poultices, hot stones, singing bowls, wrapping treatments and exfoliation. There are no limitations to creating singular and unparalleled experiences for the guest.

FULLY EQUIPPED –
FEATURES FOR BETTER RELAXATION

This wellness experience is complemented with warm sand poultices and warm, fragrant oil. The gentle pressure massage with the heat-storing poultice allows targeted temperature stimulation and stimulates the reflex zones of the skin. This has an additional muscle relaxing effect and a reflex effect on the internal organs. At the same time, the entire energy flow of the body is activated and energy blockages are released.

The easy to use touch panel is embedded into the table and allows for seamless integration of controls without cables. All functions are pre programmable and can be adapted with one touch. Temperature, incline functions and dynamic massage system are all easily adjusted for a supreme and continuous transformative experience.

A new Gharieni innovation to impart an olfactive component and to render the treatment truly multi-sensorial, the aromatherapy capsules diffuse a pre-selected scent to envelop the guest as s(he) is lying supine on the bed. Tiny diffusers located in the interior head section quietly release aromas to softly swathe the guest
into bliss.

Intensify any sand treatment with the fully integrated massage system that gently massages neck and back. Pre programmable, the air cushioning can inflate or deflate thereby creating a wave like sensation for the guests to enjoy simultaneously with a traditional massage or other body modality.

Also known as zero gravity, inversion therapy creates an ideal stretch that improves spinal health and targets back pain by helping to:
1. Rehydrate discs
2. Reduce nerve pressure
3. Realign the spine
4. Relax tense muscles
5. Ease stress
6. Improve joint health
7. Increase flexibility
8. Improve fitness & build core strength

Bringing high technology to equipment is a Gharieni trademark and the incorporation of our Spa Ambience Light to the MLX Quartz collection enables the guest to be fully encircled into the treatment with muted lighting features.

Projecting a neat and tidy appearance in treatment rooms is made easier with Gharieni’s spacious storage compartments located at the base of the treatment bed. Big enough to hold all the essential needs for treatments, they are stowed and out of sight when not in use.

The interior filling is also customizable and the quartz sand can be natural, color coated or for an even more luxurious experience, amber or persian blue salt mixes are available.

Illuminated and heated salt tiles, that can be integrated into the sides of the spa table optionally, generate negative ions to purify air.

Alternative quartz mixtures

Until now, the MLX Quartz only offered the basic quartz sand or the more exclusive versions of gold or copper-colored coating mixes.
Now, Gharieni offers a wide choice of color quartz and hybrid quartz mixtures, which can be customized to specific treatments and concepts.

HIMALAYAN TOUCH – SALT-QUARTZ MIX

This innovative mixture combines the positive qualities of warm quartz sand with the beneficial effects of stone salt harvested from the Himalayas. Due to the adjustable heating of the quartz and salt mixture, the negative ions of salt are released creating ionized air to replicate the micro-climate of coastal areas.

provide antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects

Treatment with poultices

This wellness experience is performed with heated sand poultices and warm, fragrant oil. Using synchronized, gentle pressure massage techniques with the heat-retaining poultices allows to target specific reflex zones of the body while also stimulating the temperature of the skin. It works on the entire energy flow of the body to enhance muscle relaxation, release energy blockages and also positively affect the internal organs.
