Kneipp Classic Herbal Bath Oils
Breathe in… Soak in… the benefits.
Product: The 100% natural Kneipp Classic Herbal Bath Oils are alkaline free, preservative free, dermatologist tested, bathtub friendly (leaves tub clean), and skin-friendly (vitamin E). These pure Essential oils are extracted through steam distillation, expression, cold pressing or CO2 extraction.
How it works: The purest natural herbs in the form of highly concentrated Essential oils interact with the natural healing and soothing powers of water, releasing (evaporating) the Essential oils. Essential oils, known as the immune system of the plant, are inhaled from the steam in a bath, and absorbed through the skin by soaking in a tub, benefiting body and mind.
Herb Benefits: Taking a Kneipp Therapeutic Herbal Bath is suitable for all skin types. Kneipp Herbal Baths bathe away stress, strain, fatigue and stimulate blood circulation. When choosing which Kneipp Classic Herbal Bath Oil to use, it is important to evaluate the desired benefit. Each Essential oil used has a specific healing property:

Usage: Use one capful of Kneipp Herbal Bath Oil for each bath. For best results, bathing time should never exceed 15 to 20 minutes. Most Kneipp bath therapy starts with water that is body temperature or slightly warmer (98.6°–104°F). Sleep inducing, relaxing baths should be a little cooler, (97°–98°F) and it is advisable to take a warmer bath (102°–104°F) with the onset of a cold or when suffering from rheumatism. Never bathe if you have a fever, and baths that are too hot put a strain on the circulatory system. A foot bath or partial bath is recommended when suffering from cardiac conditions or cold and flu.
After a bath, replenish skin by massaging the body with a moisturizer or body oil. This helps the skin to regain its natural pH balance and form a protective layer.
