Kneipp therapy and histamine intolerance
What does one have to do with the other?
Viewed holistically, you don't have to explain much. The effect on the vagus nerve on the vegetative nervous system, on relaxation and inner peace alone, says everything. Better blood circulation and a strengthened immune system show their effect in the entire body and significantly improve our health.
Kneipp therapy sounds pretty dusty for today's conditions - but far from it! It is currently being rediscovered, not only because some celebrities and athletes like to publicly present part of the "Wim Hof method" (Eisbaden) and advertise their effectiveness, but because it is easy to apply and bring the best health results. Egg bathing is an extreme form that should never be practiced untrained! In the many Kneipp clubs nationwide, the Kneipp applications have always been kept, practiced and passed on alive.
💬 Here is a small summary of the top conversation by Prof. Spitz with the alternative practitioner Kerstin Schmitz-Wolf:
Pastor Sebastian Kneipp, who was born in Allgäu in 1821, made his first observations in nature as a child. As a cowhirt, he observed a paralyzing cow, for example, how she chilled her leg again and again for a long time in a stream and then run normally again. His own illness finally made him look for ways of self -treatment and prevention. His water applications in particular made him famous worldwide, and already in his lifetime. It described the natural stimuli such as heat or cold as ignition sparks for the organism to strengthen the immune system, the immune system and the vegetative nervous system.
The 5 pillars of the Kneipp apprenticeship include:
• Water applications (hydrotherapy),
• Movement in air, light + sun,
• herbal applications (phytotherapy),
• Order therapy relaxation
• Nutrition
Due to the temperature stimuli of the water applications, blood vessels, skin tissue, metabolism and muscles are brought into reaction, which leads to better blood circulation, detoxification and general relaxation. Repeated applications increase the training effect and hardening and strengthen the immune system and the circulation.
If you are interested, you can read or inquire about the various water applications such as washes, castings, sauna, full and partial baths, wraps, compresses, packs and bursts.
Even today, including in Bad Wörishofen in the Allgäu, Kneipp cures and training courses are offered. What was previously only proven by the success of application is scientifically provable, recognized and current than ever.
In the case of all water applications, certain basic rules should be observed, about which one should find out before the therapy, a medical examination before the start of therapy is advisable.
💡 For everyone with histamine intolerance:
The Kneipp applications are intended as irritating therapy to bring the body back to a reaction from its rigid. Here it is time to try out again and find your own way and each find your own temperature, and slowly approach yourself.
All wraps, washes and alternating showers can be made both cold and warm or lukewarm. Even weak stimuli have their effect!
Simple applications such as walking barefoot / dew, dry brushes or, for example, the liver wrap, but are easy to implement as an introduction.
