Emanuel Felke

Leopold Erdmann Emanuel Felke (7 February 1856 to 16 August 1926) was a German Protestant pastor who became a naturopath and lay healer. Born in Klaeden in the Prussian Province of Saxony, he developed the Felke cure, a regimen built around sitz baths, light and air baths, clay applications and clay baths, sleeping on the ground, and a largely vegetarian diet of vegetables, fruit and whole grains. He practised iridology and helped promote combination homeopathic remedies, departing from Hahnemann's single-remedy approach. He ran a cure practice at Repelen near Moers from 1896 to 1914 and a spa at Bad Sobernheim from 1915 to 1925, and Felke societies with thousands of members formed during his lifetime. Bad Sobernheim remains a centre for Felke therapies, and a Felke Institute for Iridology was established there in 1984.
