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, thermal therapy 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 sand 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.
