Water applications

Kneipp harmonises and stabilises the basic functions such as breathing, circulation, heat balance, metabolism, digestion, nervous and hormonal system and strengthens the immune system.  Many functional disorders without organic damage, known as vegetative dystonia, can be regulated and favourably influenced in the long term by Kneipp applications.

"If people would only take half as much care to keep themselves healthy as they unconsciously take trouble to get sick - they would be spared half the diseases." -Sebastian Kneipp

"Just as one can thereby be useful to the body and protect it from diseases and infirmities of all kinds by hardening the feet and also the whole body and making them resistant, so one can achieve further significant hardening by walking in water, in damp grass, on wet stones and finally also in snow." - Sebastian Kneipp

In our indoor Kneipp facility, you can experience the effects of Kneipp treatments first-hand.

Kneipp is as simple as it is ingenious: millions of nerves pick up the stimuli that are brought to the skin with the water and cause the body to react positively.

The water temperature determines the effect.

The water treatments can be precisely dosed in temperature and extent of the treated body area: the temperature of the water is chosen according to the patient's readiness to react. For prevention, the cool area is chosen, as it is able to trigger more powerful effects. Apart from the extent of the treated body area and the chosen temperature, the intensity can be increased by alternately applying cold (short-lasting) and warm stimuli (longer-lasting).
