Abstract: Especially in the field of prevention and rehabilitation, the Kneipp therapy has been generally successful. Kneipp cures are especially suited to make high-risk patients aware of a healthy way of life and to practice it.The work we present, shows the results of a study about the influence of cure measures at home (lavages, baths, water treading) on certain parameters of the cardiovascular system (HF, RR lactate before, during, and after exercise). 27 healthy persons participated in a randomized test and control phase of 6 weeks each.In the HF behaviour there were only minor differences with respect to the dependencyof the applications. In some cases, the RR values were reduced after the applications. In the field of metabolism a trend of a reduction in the lactate level was present during and after the exercise during a test phase.Although inpatient cure treatments have a much more clearer and longer lasting effect, a consequent Kneipp therapy at home can cause clear changes in the cardiocircular and metabolic field. Especially the psychovegetative effects have been subjectively felt to be pleasant. It seems to be justified to carry out further examinations.
