In the 1800’s, Sebastian Kneipp developed the Kneipp Kur. The 5 pillars of the Kneipp Kur - water, exercise, nutrition, plants and balance – are considered closely linked and create a holistic life philosophy. Water (in the form of hot and cold showers!) stimulates circulation and keeps the body’s immune defense system in top form, regular exercise revitalizes the entire body and strengthens your body’s natural immune defenses, along with the healing effects of plants, herbs and a balanced diet - together these pillars create a balanced lifestyle.

Since 1891, Kneipp has been manufacturing products for health and well-being made with natural plant extracts and herbs. These herbal and plant-based formulas used with water therapies (and not forgetting the other pillars!) can be a part of your lifestyle to keep you healthy and to restore your well being. Kneipp’s products are certified natural by NaTrue (www.natrue.org).
