      Sebastian Kneipp's five pillars of health form a holistic concept for physical and mental well-being. Here is a brief overview:

      💧 1. Water (Hydrotherapy)
      Water treatments such as showers, baths, wraps, or water treading stimulate the circulation, strengthen the immune system, and promote self-healing.


      🥗 2. Nutrition
      Kneipp emphasized a simple, natural, and balanced diet with fresh, regional ingredients – without strict diets, but with moderation and enjoyment.


      🌿 3. Medicinal Plants (Phytotherapy)
      The power of herbs is used in the form of teas, ointments, baths, or tinctures – e.g., chamomile, rosemary, arnica, or valerian.


      🚶‍♂️ 4. Exercise
      Regular, moderate exercise – such as walking, cycling, or swimming – promotes health and is easily integrated into everyday life.


      🧘‍♀️ 5. Balance
      Inner balance through conscious living, relaxation, mindfulness, and mental balance – e.g., through breathing exercises or meditation.
