The classic Kneipp treatments involve the use of water at various temperatures in baths, deluges, steam or wraps, phyto (plant) therapy, dietetic (nutrition) therapy, kinesi-therapy and regulative therapy. Kneipp therapies are not only particularly efficacious in the treatment of cardio vascular complaints and blood pressure disorders but are also used as prophylactic measures. Kneipp deluges are really fun and once the process has been learnt they can be done at home. (Source: Wellnessfinder.de - only in German)
