The water cure was known as a healing method to the Greeks and Romans, but it fell into oblivion over the centuries. Sebastian Kneipp, the famous water doctor, was the one who rediscovered the therapeutic value of this treatment method. He further developed cold water applications, introduced the warm water method, and recognized the value of alternating stimuli. His countless healing successes impressively demonstrate the effectiveness of his water cure. However, it is not only the water cure that brings help and healing; it is also a natural lifestyle. Kneipp's teachings on movement, education, and nutrition have lost none of their significance even in our times.
