Kneipp therapy is a holistic natural healing philosophy. The Bavarian priest Sebastian Kneipp discovered the healing power of water for himself in the 19th century and used it to overcome his tuberculosis. The philosophy he developed from this caused a sensation and the humble priest became one of the most famous Germans in the world. Princes, empresses and the Pope swore by his services. Today, Kneipp therapy is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Euromaxx reporter Hendrik Welling takes a Kneipp cure in Bad Wörishofen. There, where it all began.
