Sebastian Kneipp

®
Kneipp® Since 1891
Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897), at the young age of 28 years old, cured
himself of tuberculosis (a disease which was incurable during this time),
by taking brief immersions in the cold waters of the Danube River during
the winter.
He then dedicated the rest of his long life to preventing disease through
the healing power of water combined with plants and herbs
(HYDROTHERAPY). Through his many years of scientific study - including
the analysis of pharmaceutical and natural medicines from the world’s
centuries-old cultures - and his continual reassessment of a healthy
lifestyle, Sebastian Kneipp became not just a pioneer but also the
authority in the field of holistic healing.
-A naturopathic, holistic, maintain good health philosophy
-No preservatives. No artificial ingredients. No paraffin,
silicone or mineral oils, NO animal testing
-Kneipp® products are manufactured according to
pharmaceutical standards in Germany.
“Nature has provided us generously with
everything we need to remain in good health”
– Sebastian Kneipp
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy:
The use of water to revitalize, maintain and restore health. Water works as a natural
stimulus on the body. It increases energy, resistance to disease and improves body
awareness. Temperature change is essential.
Hydrotherapy is a stimulus-reaction-regulation therapy
with the intention of normalising malfunctions by activating and strengthening the
powers of the body to heal itself (supporting the internal doctor).
