The "Gastein Cure" & Your Health

Medically proven and completely natural: Holidays today aren't just about recreation – a stay in Gastein is also a marvelous form of therapy for body and soul. Restore balance to your body, alleviate many a pain, or simply enjoy being able to take a deep breath once again. Gastein therapies are regenerative, preventative and immediate. Pain free without medications, for better quality of life. For a long time to come. 

If it’s only wellness that comes to mind right now, you're wrong: At local therapy centers, you will encounter medical specialists and physicians. You see, the “Gastein Cure” isn’t some kind of hocus-pocus. The benefits of radon therapy have been scientifically proven. Therapy spurs cell renewal in natural ways and stabilizes the immune system – without having to resort to medication. This in turn leads to long-awaited, sustained natural relief of back-, hip-, and knee pain as well as improvement in skin disorders such as neurodermatitis as well as asthmatic complaints. 

Between those healthful therapy sessions: Breathe in the glorious nature of the Gastein Alps. And get your metabolism back into high gear. Gastein Valley attracts visitors with all kinds of mountain sports, such as skiing, hiking, mountain biking and much more. Your constant companion: delectable enjoyment! Be that at one of the countless mountain huts, perhaps sipping on fresh buttermilk or digging into a plate of regional farmhouse-style donuts with homemade sauerkraut. As for your soul, the mere sight of the Hohe Tauern peaks and their white glaciers will likely suffice.

And we save the best for last: Because science has already proven the benefits of the Gastein Cure, many insurance providers often cover the costs of treatments, either partially or completely. Precisely how that works is detailed for you here. Also, the Gastein experts are happy to explain to you how therapy programs are custom-tailored to every guest’s personal needs.

Gastein fortifies. Gastein stabilizes. Now, during your holidays, take a step forward and give your inner Self a huge boost!

How therapy in Gastein improves your health and alleviates pain

In a nutshell - Gastein radon therapy stimulates the cells inside your body to repair themselves. While you lie in the radon-therapy bath, sweat in the radon vapor bath or relax completely in the Gastein Healing Gallery, the radon makes its way through your respiratory passages and skin into your body. In the process, this noble gas emits mild alpha radiation within your body. This radiation activates a special messenger substance, one which reduces inflammation and promotes the natural healing process. The result: The number of free radicals in your body is reduced and you have significantly less pain.
