Kneipp Foot Basin

Alternating hot and cold foot baths are an integral part of hydrotherapy (water-based therapy) and produce the following beneficial effects:

• increase in local blood circulation,
• support to the body’s defence mechanisms,
• refreshing action in persons affected with tiredness and physical weakness.

 

Use

Sebastian Kneipp is known for having “invented” the alternating foot bath. He proposed the following procedure:

Start your Kneipp bath with warm water (about 38°C).
After five minutes, switch for a few seconds to cold water (below 18°C).
Repeat this procedure three times.

Important: The bath should be terminated with cold water, which brings about contraction of the blood vessels. Thus, the heat is kept inside the body.
