Kneipp Herbal Products

Sebastian Kneipp's (1821 - 1897) holistic approach is still of groundbreaking relevance today for naturopathic healing methods and contemporary preventative medicine. During his life, Kneipp used knowledge of the healing powers of water and medicinal plants and combined them with his own insights to create a systematic teaching.

Thus the priest and naturopath created a visionary life philosophy that sees man going about his daily habits and routines and his natural environment as an inseparable and balanced entity. He considered the elements of water, plants, exercise, diet and balance to be closely linked. The name Kneipp not only stands for scientifically based naturopathic products and treatments, but also for a holistic life philosophy.

• Sebastian Kneipp revolutionized naturopathic medicine in the 19 century. After having cured himself of a severe case of tuberculosis (a disease held to be incurable in his day) by taking short immersions in the freezing cold Danube, he began intensive study of the health-promoting power of water and the healing properties of certain plants.
• The result of his long years of study and successes with practical application is a visionary life philosophy of timeless relevance. In the light of increasing pollution and stress-related diseases of civilisation, we have a greater need for effective healing methods and to practice preventative medicine.
• For Kneipp, this meant regular physical exercise, a healthy diet and the balance of body, mind and soul. He became a pioneer in the field of holistic healing and teaching. The competence of a generations-old, tried and trusted naturopathic and pharmaceutical knowledge is synonymous with his name.
