Kneipp's natural pharmacy
Many people still know that thyme helps with colds and chamomile soothes the stomach. But the fact that nature provides us with a wealth of medicinal plants that can actually cure many illnesses has almost completely disappeared from our daily lives. For example, lemon balm can replace a sleeping pill, anise can relieve all kinds of cramps, and a bran or whey bath can soothe annoying itching.
Sebastian Kneipp knew a great many medicinal plants and how to use them both internally and externally. The sheer variety of herbs that grow in this country is a veritable treasure trove of remedies. Anyone who strolls mindfully through the herb gardens in the spa park of Bad Wörishofen will get a first impression of this abundance.
