Kniepp Herbal Baths

Not just a bath, but an entire lifestyle! Enjoy the pleasures of herbal bathing from one of Europe's most respected companies, Kneipp-Werke of Germany's Rhine/Main River Valley.

A century ago, around 1891, a Bavarian priest, Fr. Sebastian Kneipp, developed a warm water bathing regimen based on herbs to improve health. Fr. Kneipp believed that, only by using herbal baths can man become close enough to his natural origins to achieve balanced health. Today, "Kneippism" has become a way of life for many Europeans. The herbal extracts used in these formulas are obtained by the most modern methods that preserve all the vitamins, minerals and essential oils so prized by Father Kneipp. Each of the Kneipp Herbal Bath formulas has a different result. Experiment!

Hops for relaxation before bed.
Melissa a sedative that soothes the psyche.
