Term Definition
Kinesiology
Diagnosis and treatment of a disease through muscle testing. Virtually any diseased area of the body will have a structural manifestation, a specific "body language," represented by specific muscle weakness patterns. This system restores the structural, mental and chemical balance of the body through the strengthening of weak muscles, stimulation of meridian points and diet.
 
Kirlian Photography
A special photographic technique that shows the energy field surrounding the body, typically the hands.
 
Kneipp Baths
Developed by Father Sebastian Kneipp, this herbal/mineral bath is used as part of a regimented therapy of healing. Used in combination with nutritional and exercise disciplines. Hot and cold water therapy is a key component of this form of therapy.
 
Kneipp Kur System
There are Five Pillars of Kneipp - Hydro, Phyto, Kinesi, Dietetic and Regulative. These treatments combine hydrotherapy, herbology and a diet of natural foods developed by Father Sebastian Kneipp to achieve physical and emotional well being.
 
Kurs
Much of the European Spa experience centres on the tradition of “Taking the Kur”. The Kur is a series of treatments, lasting a period of three to four weeks, based on the use of natural resources such as thermal mineral water, algae, mud, essential oils and herbs that help to re-mineralize, nourish, and balance the body.
