Kneipp spa
We encounter the primal element of water as a source of beneficial power in many places in the St. Blasien region. It is therefore almost natural that the recognized Kneipp spa town of St. Blasien offers Kneipp treading pools to locals and guests at various locations throughout its territory, to do something good for body and soul. More relevant than ever is people's desire for a simple method that keeps them healthy or heals them and has virtually no side effects. After a short hike, you must take off your shoes and socks and walk through the usually fresh water in a "stork walk." It is recommended to only tread water if your feet feel warm at the beginning. One leg should always be completely out of the water and the toes should be bent slightly downwards. After about 30 seconds, you will feel a strong sensation of cold in your feet and lower legs. Then you should briefly step out of the cold water to warm your feet again. Repeat this process several times. After treading, simply wipe off the water (do not dry yourself) and do a little exercise to warm up. Regularly practiced, this therapy strengthens the body's immune system, stimulates circulation, can help with varicose veins, and relieves migraines. When used in the evening, it promotes healthy sleep.
