What exactly is Rügen healing chalk?

Rügen healing chalk is a natural peloid – a mineral natural substance that formed over 60 to 70 million years in what's called the Rügen Chalk Sea. It consists of around 98 percent calcium carbonate and contains magnesium carbonate, silicon, iron and aluminum compounds, as well as other minerals and trace elements as secondary components. The healing chalk has been used in spa facilities as a medical device for wraps and baths for over 100 years. Its alkaline pH value of 8 to 9 fundamentally distinguishes it from conventional care products and makes it a versatile natural product for external use.

How does Rügen healing chalk work on the skin?

Rügen healing chalk has particularly high heat storage capacity – when applied as a wrap, it can warm the body thoroughly and evenly for a long time. This thermophysical property can stimulate circulation and metabolism. Due to its extremely fine-grained structure, the chalk also acts as a gentle natural scrub when rinsed off, freeing the skin from dead cells. A clinical study led by Prof. Dr. med. Beer confirmed the anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties of the healing chalk at the cellular biological level.

How do you use Rügen healing chalk?

Application is straightforward: Simply mix the healing chalk with warm water to form a spreadable paste. For daily facial cleansing, two teaspoons of chalk and one teaspoon of water are sufficient. For a nourishing face mask, mix one tablespoon of chalk with one tablespoon of warm water, apply, and leave on for 15 minutes. The chalk is also suitable as a full bath, foot bath, or large-area body wrap. A major advantage over mud or fango wraps: Rügen healing chalk can be used at any body-compatible temperature – warm or cold.

How often should you use Rügen healing chalk?

The frequency of application depends on the specific purpose. For daily facial cleansing, the chalk can be used daily. A scrub is recommended once a week for about two minutes with gentle massage movements. Facial masks and body wraps can be done once or twice a week as needed. An important note: After using the chalk, don't apply moisturizer to the skin, as the body is stimulated to produce more of its own skin moisture. This natural effect is intentionally desired and supports skin regeneration.

How do you recognize genuine Rügen healing chalk?

Genuine Rügen healing chalk is characterized by its snow-white color, extremely fine-grained structure, and proven thermophysical quality. When purchasing, look for the following features: Designation as a medical device or peloid with traceable origin from the island of Rügen. Transparent composition with around 98 percent calcium carbonate. Evidence through balneological reports or independent laboratory analyses. The Original Rügen Three Crowns Healing Chalk has been tested through comprehensive studies and analyses regarding chemical, physical, and microbiological quality.

Are there any contraindications for Rügen healing chalk?

In pure form, Rügen healing chalk has no known side effects or allergic reactions – it's considered an allergen-free natural product. Two restrictions apply exclusively when combined with algae: If you have kidney stones of alkaline origin or thyroid dysfunction, you should avoid algae as an additive. Additionally, the chalk is not suitable for hair washing. For all other applications – from facial cleansing to wraps to full baths – the healing chalk is very well tolerated even on sensitive or dry skin and can be used without hesitation.

The original. The natural elutriated chalk Rügener Chalk is a natural product with an alkaline pH value of 8-9. It can be used for alkaline full baths, foot baths, wraps, masks, or for brushing teeth, among other things. A study (by Prof. Dr. C. Dartsch) has proven that medicinal chalk has a strong inhibitory anti-inflammatory effect, can stimulate metabolism, stimulates cell division, and thus promotes wound healing by 40% compared to untreated wounds.

2 kg Pack – Original Rügen Dreikronen Medicinal Chalk – The White Gold of Rügen

Original: Rügener Chalk – so wonderfully soothing.
For 60 to 70 million years, Rügener Chalk lay untouched in the “Rügener Chalk Sea.” For about 100 years, the chalk has proven itself as a medical product, applied directly to the skin, as a pack, or in a bath.

Rügener Chalk warms the body for a long time and in a unique way. You can simply mix the original chalk with water and apply it immediately. When used as a pack, Rügener Chalk can develop an increased ability to retain heat.

Positive aspects include stimulating blood circulation and metabolic processes throughout the body. The sorptive properties of Rügener Chalk, along with the peeling performed during cleansing after a pack application, further support the product’s positive qualities.

Rügener Chalk is a wonderful natural product. Its alkaline pH value is 8 – 9.

In its pure form, the chalk has no known side effects or allergic reactions. When used with algae, the only exceptions are kidney stones of alkaline origin or thyroid dysfunction. In these two cases, Rügener Chalk should not be used. The chalk is not suitable for hair washing.

Application examples:

Application of Original Rügener Dreikronen-Heilkreide®

The chalk is used as a warm or cold pack, but also often as a bath additive. In its original form, directly from the packaging, Rügener Chalk is simply mixed with water. Or with natural additives.

Examples:

Sea salt
Oils
Algae (do not use if you have kidney stones or thyroid problems)
Honey
Mare’s milk

A major advantage of Rügener Chalk, compared to mud or fango packs, is that it can be applied at any body-compatible temperature.

For all types of chalk pack applications, we recommend:

Mix Rügener Chalk with warm water, as this helps the components combine better. The small particle size of the chalk, combined with water, guarantees a homogeneous mass with a high degree of spreadability, which facilitates application and allows for perfect body adhesion.

Note:

You should not moisturize after using the chalk. The body is stimulated to produce more moisture for the skin. There is no actual dehydration of the skin, but rather a stimulation of the body’s natural skin oil production.

This aspect should be particularly considered for skin problems and irritations. Rügener Chalk is a natural product and can be disposed of in household waste, but also in the garden (pH value improvement).

With normal household use, there are no negative effects on the sewage system.

Rügener Chalk is a pure, allergen-free natural product. Rügener Chalk is particularly distinguished by its aesthetic, snow-white color, fine-grained structure, and good heat or cold retention capacity.

The natural elutriated chalk Original Rügener Dreikronen-Heilkreide® is a peloid that is used purely in many health resorts.

Skin compatibility study:

In 2013, a skin compatibility study was conducted under the direction of Prof. Dr. med. A.-M. Beer, Chief Physician of the Department of Naturopathy at Klinik Blankenstein, Hattingen, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. med. M. Bacharach-Buhles.

Summary of the study
“These cell biological research results confirm some of the therapeutically observed anti-inflammatory effects and positive influence on wound healing! Prof. Dr. Dartsch’s study proved that medicinal chalk has a strong inhibitory anti-inflammatory effect, can stimulate metabolism, stimulates cell division, and thus promotes wound healing by 40% compared to untreated wounds.”

Empirical studies:
Comprehensive analyses regarding Rügener Chalk were carried out by a renowned analytical laboratory. The chemical and physical quality was tested. In addition, a microbiological assessment of the product was performed. The natural properties and purity of the composition, especially the increased thermophysical quality of the product, were proven.

Composition:

approx. 98% calcium carbonate, with magnesium carbonate, silicon, iron, and aluminum compounds as minor components, as well as compounds containing minerals and trace elements (phosphorus, sulfur, etc.).

For wraps and masks, mix with warm water to a spreadable paste, apply, and leave on depending on the application. For daily facial cleansing, mix 2 teaspoons of chalk with 1 teaspoon of water. For a peeling, apply once a week with gentle massaging movements and rinse thoroughly. Also usable as a warm or cold pack and as a bath additive. Do not moisturize after using the chalk.
