From Ayurveda to Thalasso
The teaching of "the knowledge of eternal life" is part of a traditional Indian natural medicine that has gained in importance in recent years, due to gentle treatments and their noticeable results. There are three functional principles for body and spirit, the "doshas," each of which corresponds to a specific human character type:

• "Vata" (for air and space)
• "Pitta" (for fire)
• "Kapha" (for earth and water) .

Only when the "doshas" are in perfect balance can the body glow in natural beauty. Individual oil massages with silk gloves or soft brushes strengthen the body and help transport toxins out of it.

There is an immediate calming effect on the nervous system. All the body's organs are stimulated and the skin becomes noticeably smooth and supple. With every Ayurveda treatment, body, mind and soul are equally affected.

Healing treatments using sea water, algae and mineral mud smooth the skin and softly mould the figure. They "de-stress" and help you attain a charisma that is definitely more beautiful. During thalasso therapy (thalassa is Greek for "sea"), you bathe in specially enriched water at a pleasantly warm 33° C, thus creating a so-called "aurea curae" - a healing environment - that opens the pores and lets minerals and trace elements from the seawater get into the skin. Paired with skin-active algae wraps and a special nutrition plan, a real boost to the healing process is achieved.

Vital Resort is presently the only spa in Germany to offer a totally new and innovative anti-cellulite program, centered around effective treatments such as RNS, lymphatic drainage, meridian massage baths in the Kusatsu pool with colored light and special active ingredients, and intense suction massage with bio-aromas and enzymes. The combination of the various elements offered by Vital Resort lets you achieve unparalleled success in combating cellulite.

For the more ambitious, Heinz Winkler also provides consultations on changing unhealthy eating habits by proposing alternatives and drawing up an energizing diet that can easily be adapted for home, office or travel.

Practically no other restaurant celebrates savoir-vivre as much as the Residenz Heinz Winkler. Here, enjoying food while losing weight isn't a contradiction: instead, these two goals are perfectly complementary. You're entitled to indulge as you slim down! With his legendary Cuisine Vitale, Heinz Winkler creates delicious menus that can lead you to a beautiful - and lasting - figure.
