Kneipp-cure

Kneipp-cure, which is based on the alternative use of cold and hot water, was a fashionable treatment in the 19th century. It stimulates metabolism, as well as circulation. This treatment was and still is popular all over Europe. It allows patients to live an active and healthy life. It is used in many medicinal baths and hotels.  
The basics of the Kneipp method are as follows:
Water therapy (hydrotherapy), which uses water of different temperature alternately, thus exposing the body to different stimuli  and provoking a vegetative reaction.
 Herbs (fitotherapy) have a slow effect but they have fewer side effects.

 Healthy eating, which requires the consumption of fruits, vegetables and dairy products is part of the cure.

 Exercises  are based on regularity and rationality.

The rule of the harmony of body, mind and spirit teaches patients to live in harmony with themselves and to find their own rhythm of life.

Kneipp cure is mostly used to teat circulatory problems and to prevent metabolic and stress-induced conditions.

The floor of the Kneipp-pool is pebbly. When taking a sauna, the cold water session offers refreshment, while the pebbles will perform foot massage.

It is recommended for patients complaining about varicose veins, infections, front sensitivity, abnormal foot perspiration, high blood pressure and depression.

It is not recommended for menstruating women, and patients with gynaecological disorders and infections, diseases of the kidney, infections of the urinary tract and severe circulatory disorders.
