It was developed by [[Werner Junge]], inspired by statements of [[Rudolf Steiner]]. Oil and water usually don't mix. By purely physical principles a mixture of [[Wikipedia:Oil|oil]] and [[Wikipedia:Water|water]] is achieved. For this purpose, a swirling apparatus made of glass is flowed through by the incoming bath water. The pear shape of the glass creates a vortex in the center of which oil flows in through a fine inlet. The oil is atomized into very fine droplets and forms a dispersion with the water, which remains stable for the duration of the bath and for a certain time beyond. Oil and water are present at the same time as such without a chemically mediating emulsifier, as Werner Junge used to point.

The oils used as a base are various vegetable oils such as olive or linseed oil, to which essential oils or other additives such as metals are added. Often the oil dispersion bath is performed by a bath therapist who performs a brush massage. The temperature of the bath water should be approximately equal to the body heat and should not provide a heat or cold stimulus. After the bath there is a rest about the length of the bath. Wrapped in a cotton cloth and (wool) blankets, the aim is to warm the body by stimulating its own heat. The oil dispersion bath is used in addition to other therapeutic measures, especially in chronic diseases.[[File:Öldispersionsbad Befüllen mit Öl.JPG|thumbnail|Filling a Jungebad apparatus with oil|link=https://de.imedwiki.org/wiki/Datei:%C3%96ldispersionsbad_Bef%C3%BCllen_mit_%C3%96l.JPG|alt=]]
