Fever, inflammation, fatigue, stiffness? The Priessnitz wrap will help.

When to use a Priessnitz wrap?

In modern times, full of drugs (antibiotics) and quick fixes, methods that have worked for centuries are often forgotten. The Priessnitz wrap is one of them. It helps the body activate natural regeneration, relieve pain and inflammation without chemicals.

This simple principle - a combination of a wet and dry layer - can offer relief in many situations. Let's show you specific examples from practice when the wrap really helps.

Fever - when the body needs to cool down

Fever is a natural defense reaction of the body, but at high temperatures it is advisable to cool down the body.
This is where the cold Priessnitz wrap comes into play.

How to do it:

  1. Soak the inner fabric in cold water, wring it out slightly and place it in the wrap.
  2. Apply to the neck, forehead or chest.
  3. The Priessnitz wrap is ready

⏱️ Duration: 20–40 minutes, repeat as needed.

The wrap helps cool the body and at the same time promotes natural sweating, thus reducing the temperature without the need for medication.

Inflammation – when you need to calm down and increase blood flow

Inflammation is the body's reaction to overload, injury or infection.
The Priessnitz wrap helps activate blood circulation, remove harmful substances and accelerates healing.

Example from practice:

After exercise or a cold, you feel pain in your throat or bronchi. Simply apply a damp cold wrap and cover it with a dry layer.
The temperature contrast triggers a reaction blood flow, which helps regeneration and reduces pain.

💡 This method is also suitable after an injury or when the knee or ankle is swollen.

Fatigue – natural awakening of the circulatory system

When the body reacts with fatigue, it is a signal of slowed circulation and muscle overload. Then the dry warm version of the Priessnitz wrap will help.

How to proceed:

  • Do not soak the inner fabric and place it dry in the wrap belt. Heat the heating pad and place it in the wrap belt.
  • Apply to the desired area – e.g. neck, hips or joints.
  • Leave on for 15–30 minutes.

A warm wrap improves blood circulation, relieves tension and brings deep relaxation.
It is ideal after sports, a hard day or for back pain.

  • After removing, gently stretch or massage the affected area.
  • Repeat 1–2 times a day.

The wrap increases muscle flexibility, releases blockages and improves overall comfort of movement.
