Today is the birthday of Sebastian Kneipp (May 17, 1821 – June 17, 1897), priest and one of the founders of the Naturopathic medicine movement. He is oft referred to as the Father of Hydrotherapy. He believed that disease could be cured by using water to eliminate waste from the body. A naturopath, Sebastian Kneipp developed water cures and massage with essential oils. In 1886, he published My Water Cure, which was translated into several languages and became popular throughout Europe. His health products are still in use in the world market today.
"... for the healthy individual it is an excellent means to maintain his health and energy, but also in times of illness it is the prime remedy; it is the most natural, the simplest and, when used properly, the safest means. Water is my best friend and will remain so until I die." - Sebastian Kneipp
"Nature has provided us generously with everything we need to remain in good health."- Sebastian Kneipp
"There is hardly any other circumstance that is more damaging to our health than the way we live our days. A equilibrium must be found to strengthen overstrained nerves, to maintain their strength: we must create a balance." - Sebastian Kneipp
