Numerous historical traditions record that the use of water for healing purposes goes right back to ancient times. Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897), a priest from the Allgäu region of southern Germany, invented a completely new method of treatment with water and imposed a systematic order on the existing tradition. He developed a detailed therapeutic concept which has been elaborated and scientifically researched by generations of physicians since then. Today, this prototype of natural curative treatment is an integral part of modern medicine.
