Kneipp Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy according to Kneipp
Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897), known as “Waterdoctor from Worishofen” (Germany), was the creator of a holistic and natural way of life and healing. He used water as a natural stimulus on the body.
The working philosophy of Hydrotherapy according to Kneipp, lay on the basis that health, and therefore healing, is proportional to quantity and quality of blood flow through the organs and tissues of the body. Water has a remarkable ability to improve blood flow, and this can be manipulated by varying its temperature and specific treatments.
The therapeutic qualities of water have a positive effect on circulation, increasing energy, balancing immune functions, relieving symptoms, detoxifying, and improving body-awareness, aiding relaxation and well-being. Hydrotherapy uses hot and cold water in a variety of applications such as compresses, hot rolls, body wraps, salt scrubs, inhalations, and constitutional hydrotherapy .
Kneipp’s water treatments are adjusted to suit the individual unique requirements. Aromatherapy and medicated herbal water, may be used in conjunction with hydrotherapy to intensify its therapeutic effects on the body.
