Research
An open research project.
No laboratory, no clinical study — but the structured self-exploration of many people, carefully guided and documented. Our questions are open, our results are experiences, not proof. That is precisely what makes them honest.
Our research questions
How does regular, long alkaline bathing change perceived well-being?
What role do duration, rhythm and temperature play?
What do people report about sleep, skin and mood — and what do they not?
How participation works
- Become a member — participation is reserved for members of the association.
- Receive guidance — introduction, materials knowledge, the bathing protocol.
- Bathe & observe — at your own pace, at home or at our bathing locations; observations go into the bathing diary.
- Share experiences — reports flow, anonymised, into the shared evaluation.
Research materials
Materials (bathing powders, rock flours, accessories) are made available to members within the documented research project against a support contribution — through our Swiss sister association. This is not a sale of goods within the meaning of consumer protection law and not a public offer.
Why we phrase things so carefully
Whoever claims an effect must be able to prove it. We ask questions instead — and collect experiences that we evaluate openly and anonymously. That is not a weakness of our project; it is its foundation.
Important notice: Statements about experiences originate from our research project and are not scientifically established facts. Participation does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.
