Theiner’s treatments: pure well-being
After a run, a hike or a bike tour, or during a day dedicated to wellness, a relaxing massage, a pleasant face or body treatment or a revitalizing bath are always welcome.
Wellness for mind, body and soul
A Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath, a bio-sauna with herbs and a tub with cold water are at your disposal. Let daily stress evaporate and revitalize with new energy!
Steam bath
Temperatures between 45° and 48° C are lower than dry saunas. Instead, the humidity is much higher (90-100%) and exceeds the saturation limit (producing fog). As in the sauna, aromatic jets of steam can take place.
Biosauna with herbs
The bio-sauna, also known as a low-temperature sauna, has a humidity of 50-60% and an average temperature of 55-60 ° C. The aromatic herbs used come directly from our garden. The goal of the biosauna is to stimulate circulation. Therefore, you can stay inside a bit longer.
Finnish sauna
In the Finnish sauna, dry hot air prevails; the temperature is between 90° and 100° C and the humidity is 10%. The Finnish sauna cleanses the body of waste products and strengthens the immune system, heart and circulation.
Aufguss
The Aufguss or steam jet consists in pouring cold or hot water on hot stones. Procedure: the water evaporates on the stones at a temperature equal to approx. 100 ° C, increasing the humidity in a short time.
The steam rises upwards and the sauna master distributes it homogeneously into the environment, by waving a towel. This movement causes the layer of air present on the surface of the skin to evaporate with hot air and the body continues to heat up.
Therefore, the steam jet amplifies the sensation of heat. For non-regular visitors, we recommend sitting on the lower benches, where the air is less hot.
A better quality of life thanks to nature
The method developed by the parish priest Kneipp (1821 – 1897), one of the greatest and best known natural healers, and later by the eponymous association, is based on five pillars: nutrition, movement, herbs, water and harmony.
The effectiveness of hydrotherapy is based on the stimuli provoked in the nervous system by the application of hot and cold water on the skin, to strengthen the immune system.
The teachings of Kneipp
The teachings of Kneipp enhance the concept of health at theiner’s garten in different areas, contributing to your complete well-being. We are happy to provide you with our advice to enable you to make healthy choices, even at home.
Phlebotonic treatment
After a massage with the brush and a jet on the thighs, you will rest briefly on a bed of hay and sip an herbal tea.
This is followed by a massage with lymphatic drainage to the legs with a relaxing and detoxifying effect. This treatment is recommended ro reactivate the circulation, for heavy-feeling legs as well as after physical exertion.
