What happens during a Felke treatment at Menschels Vitalresort
Anamnesis and objectives:
Medical admission and selection of treatments (clay bath or pack, temperature and frequency).
Daily applications:
- Clay bath (half bath): In the hall (all year round) or in the natural light air bath park (summer), usually once a day for approx. 30-60 minutes. The clay baths are below body temperature (~27-28 °C), which creates a defined cold/regulatory stimulus.
- Clay packs: Local, cold for acute/inflammatory conditions (e.g. activated osteoarthritis, varicose veins), warm for tension, degenerative back/joint problems or exhaustion. Frequency by indication
Elements of water, air, light:
Sitting bath (cold) in the morning, air and light baths seasonally.
Movement and relaxation:
At least one hour of moderate activity daily, supplemented by group activities.
Aftercare and transfer:
Instructions for applications that can be implemented at home (e.g. small packs) and dietary recommendations.

Supporting applications and combinations
Depending on the goal, we combine Felke applications with:
- Kneipp infusions/water treatments for circulation/metabolism activation
- Physiotherapy and massages (e.g. for problems with muscle tone or posture)
- Nutrition and vital substance advice
Synergy with therapeutic fasting: Alkaline clay supports the removal of acidic metabolites through the skin. In combination with Therapeutic fasting This process is further promoted.
This is how Felke Therapy works
Mechanical/compressive:
The weight of the clay compresses the leg vessels so that there is a backflow to the center of the body. This relieves the periphery and improves organ perfusion.
Physical-thermal:
Cool clay baths below body temperature create a regulatory stimulus that stimulates the immune system.
Physico-chemical:
Fine clay minerals (alkaline pH of approx. 8) bind water and acids, support delivery via the skin (deacidification) and influence electrolyte and mineral exchange.
Microcirculation and lymph:
The drying and swelling of the clay as well as the density and weight stimulation increase blood flow, promote lymphatic flow and tissue metabolism.
Psycho-vegetative:
The ritualization (30-60 minutes of rest in a clay bath) supports deceleration, mindfulness and stress reduction.
