Free wellness series in Bad Salzungen offers health for all ages

AOK PLUS, Thuringia's largest health insurance provider, is running a free health and wellness series in Bad Salzungen from March to June. The programme, now in its fifth year, offers lectures, workshops, and activities for all ages. No prior experience or insurance membership is needed to take part.

The series includes a mix of informative talks and hands-on sessions. New this year is Aromatherapy for Women, which explores how essential oils can support the body and mind at different life stages. Another key event is Alkaline Fasting for Beginners and Advanced Practitioners, teaching participants how to balance acid-base levels with fresh, alkaline-rich foods.

Other activities range from forest bathing and herbal workshops to yoga for families and sessions for schoolchildren. A networking café for family caregivers will also provide support and connection. The events have built a small but loyal following, with some attendees returning each year.

The full schedule is available online at plus.aok.de/filialangebote. Booking in advance is required for all sessions.

All events are open to the public at no cost. Organisers encourage early registration due to limited spaces. The series aims to promote well-being through accessible, community-focused activities.
