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.

[[File:Öldispersionsbad mit badendem Menschen und Bürstenmassage.jpg|thumbnail|Oil dispersion bath with brush massage|link=Special:FilePath/Öldispersionsbad_mit_badendem_Menschen_und_Bürstenmassage.jpg|alt=]]The '''oil dispersion bath (or Junge bath)''' is a [[Wikipedia:hydrotherapy|hydrotherapy]] of [[anthroposophic medicine]]. 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 oil dispersion bath was developed by [[Werner Junge]] in 1937 as a medical therapy.
