Kneipp hose treatment

Full and partial Kneipp hose treatments are available. The low-pressure water jet flows out of a hose (diameter: 2.5 cm) so that the water does not spray when it hits the body but gently envelopes the skin.

Procedure:
hose is guided from the periphery towards the heart. For example, on the legs the jet is guided laterally upwards and medially down again.

Effect:
the vessels constrict when a cold water jet is applied, and dilate again when warm water is used, which helps to normalise responsiveness.

Cardiovascular system:
vascular training, regulated blood pressure, improves blood flow, spasmolytic effect on coronary vessels.

Skin:
cell regeneration leading to smooth, taut skin.

Immune system:
strengthens immune system, improves power to resist colds and influenza.
