Who was Sebastian Kneipp? PDF Print E-mail
Contributed by Kneipp USA Staff - August 9th, 2006
In the mid to late 1800’s, Sebastian Kneipp revolutionized natural medicine.  At the age of 28, Sebastian Kneipp cured himself of a severe case of tuberculosis (a disease considered incurable during this time) by taking brief immersions in the cold waters of the Danube during the winter.  Kneipp dedicated the rest of his long life to harnessing the healing power of water by using specific plants and herbs.  Kneipp was not just a pioneer, but also became an authority in the field of holistic healing.

How long do Kneipp products last? PDF Print E-mail
Contributed by Kneipp USA Staff - August 7th, 2006
All Kneipp prodcuts, if they have no use-by date, are good until at least 30 months from purchase, in keeping with the standards of the EU (European Union). No special storage is required. Keep in mind, however, that natural products are sensitive and should therefore not be exposed to extreme temperatures for long periods of time. We recommend that all Kneipp products are stored at room temperature and kept out of direct sunlight.

How do I take a Kneipp curative bath? PDF Print E-mail
Contributed by Kneipp USA Staff - August 7th, 2006
Most Kneipp bath therapies start with water that is body temperature or slightly warmer (98.6°-104°).  Sleep inducing, relaxing baths should be a little cooler, (97°- 98°) and it is advisable to take a warmer bath (102°-104°) with the onset of a cold.  A foot bath or partial bath is recommended when suffering from cardiac conditions or cold and flu.  Use one capful Herbal Bath Oil or 1/3 capful Thermal Spring Bath Salt.  For best results, bathing time should never exceed 15-20 minutes.

When should I use an Herbal Bath Oil opposed to a Bath Salt? PDF Print E-mail
Contributed by Kneipp USA Staff - August 7th, 2006
The Herbal Bath Oils are suitable for all skin types.  Oily skin may find that the Thermal Bath Salts are the best alternative.  A salt is great for active people that need extra minerals as they release a greater amount of sweat.  Salts have minerals like Calcium and Magnesium and are very good for people with certain illnesses that force them to lose the natural salt in their bodies.  Salts are not good for people with very dry skin.  After bathing, replenish skin by massaging the body with a moisturizer or body oil.  This helps the skin to regain its natural ph balance and forms a protective layer.

FAQ

Why are the five pillars of Kneipp so important?
The five pillars, water, plants, exercise, nutrition and balance all act in harmony with one another to create the core of the Kneipp philosophy.  Water stimulates the circulation and improves the natural healing powers of the body.  Specially selected herbs and plants are key to effective healing and active health protections.  Exercise strengthens the body’s natural immune defenses, while frequent, balanced and nutritious low-fat meals are key ingredients of the holistic approach.  When all elements are combined, true balance and well-being can be achieved.
