The Climate Cure

Leave your day to day life behind you, the stress, smog and pollution, the unhealthy habits and enter a different world! The high altitude, clean air, the stimulating climate of the Alpine foothills - these are the most important factors in our Climate Cure. But not only these! A change of routine, lots of excercise in the fresh air, lots of sleep and a few healthy new resolutions all contribute to the treatment.

The Kneipp Cure

Here you can profit from the work of Dr. Nature! Earth and water, warmth and cold, light and air, movement and rest, a healthy diet, the healing properties of plants; these are the basic elements of this natural treatment, developed more than a century ago by Sebastian Kneipp, a priest from the town of Wörishofen.

Taking the Waters

The ‘Taking the Waters’ Cure is based upon the principal of copious amounts of water rich in
minerals, in the form of drinks and of bathing treatments. There’s nothing to beat the use of water as a bathing treatment: it envelopes the entire body, transfering warmth and promoting relaxation. In combinaton with medicinal ingredients, it can be an important element of healing in the hands of a doctor.

Peatbog

This is a very special peatbog soil, rich in minerals, which, when applied in the appropriate manner in the form of wraps, immersion baths or partial baths, promotes an intensive healing effect.

Haywraps

This is a method specific to Allgäu, generally practiced in Pfronten. It is based on the healing properties of herbs which have gathered their potency in the sunshine, wind and rain on mountain
meadows unsullied by fertilisers. This natural treatment is for the entire body and is augmented by
physiotherapeutic treatments.

Mental Training

This is an integral part of any treatment in the same way that the soul is a part of the body. The
proverbial interaction between body and soul, oft referred to by the Romans, is of more relevance than ever before. Autogenious Training and Yoga are important methods, lectures and
discussions - even personal soul-searching in a wonderful, intact environment - all these can contribute to regeneration.
