What is Kneipp Kur?
Kneipp Kur is a holistic healing method developed in the late 1980s by a Dominican priest called Sebastian Kneipp. He was one of the founders of the naturopathic medicinal movement, which focuses on natural than human drugs. It is said that Kneippp came to his conclusions after he cured tuberculosis by immersing himself in the freezing waters of the Danube River. Kneipp Kur is largely focused on hydrotherapy, which is the application of various types of water treatment such as cold and hot showers, baths and compression. Together, Kneipp Kur becomes a period of treatment focused on hydrotherapy scheduled for a certain period of time. According to Kneipp itself, "inactivity weakens, strengthens exercise, excess Hars", which nicely associates with the concept of Kur.
Although Kneipp's main focus was on water treatment and was most closely linked to naturopathy, developed the entire healing system based on fiveMain points - hydrotherapy, herb, exercise, nutrition and spirituality. Kneipp Kur will usually include hydrotherapy wheels and a focus on natural food and application and intake of herbs.
