    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.
