Bad Sobernheim, the newest 'Bath' in the Nahe valley

Bad Sobernheim is the newest of the three 'Baths' in the Nahe valley and is therefore overshadowed by the two older ones: Bad Kreuznach and Bad Münster am Stein. This is a bit unfair, though, because Bad Sobernheim has its very own special and attractive qualities. The standards are high. There is a new and impressive infrastructure with three health-resort hotels managed by doctors who consider holistic and natural treatments not to be trends that come and go, but have emphasized them for decades.

It is here that the Pastor Emmanuel Felke, a natural healer (naturopath) worked, beginning in the year 1915. He made mud (healing earth), air, light, and water the bases for his treatment methods. These are complemented today by the latest findings of nutritional science as well as the most modern diagnostic techniques. Here, a "cure" doesn't mean just following a program, but it means a harmony of comfort, health and nature. Just how important this is, has been newly documented by scientific studies, which show, in an impressive way, how the immune system (Sommer 1999), blood pressure, levels of cholesterol, uric acid and liver indicators (Breden 1998) can be influenced for the better.

After a period of observation lasting 3 weeks, the results of the study demonstrated a significant reduction of cholesterol, uric acid, liver indicators and blood pressure. At the same time, vitality and physical fitness improved. The results of the Felke-cure were a reduction of risk factors for arteriosclerosis, meaning more protection for the heart and vascular system, combined with a generally improved sense of well being and a raised level of fitness. It is worth coming to Bad Sobernheim to relax and regenerate. The best part is that one feels good doing it.
