Depending on the severity and scale of your conditions 2-3 sessions are possible per week. The therapy sessions are divided into 5 stations. Heat: (37 ° to 41.5 °) and humidity (70 to 100%).

The radon inert gas escapes from the thermal water and enters the body through the respiratory tract and the skin. The defense mechanism in the organism is stimulated and the natural warmth fosters circulation. Due to the altitude of the Gastein the healing success is positively enhanced. Classical therapy forms are the radon underwater therapy and the radon thermal bath.
