In the morning guests can get a hot compress in the room and, after breakfast, Kneipp hydrotherapy and theraml baths (ineral, herbal, steam, in oil dispersion) followed by 40 minutes of reaction and rest . Inahlations, aerosol and nasal showers are held in the morning, as well as wraps, numerous external applications (medicate, hot, cold, etc), intravenous therapy, ozone therapy and hyperthermia.
After lunch, usually around 14.00, a yarrow wrap on the liver is brought into the room; it aids digestion and rest.
In the afternoon, after 15.00, those who follow a course of treatment will benefit from massage therapy or physiotherapy, or art therapy (individual or group) as eurythmy, painting, drawing and modeling of form.
