The inert gas stimulates cell metabolism, promotes the repair process in the cells and generates pain-killing substances in the body. Over the 100 year course of documented Radon therapies, certain conditions have been shown to be particularly responsive to the treatment. These are: rheumatic conditions, in particular ankylosing spondylitis, but also rheumatoid arthritis and related forms of arthroses. Respiratory illnesses, such as bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis. Problems with the regeneration, circulation and immunological balance of the skin (psoriasis vulgaris, neurodermatitis, sklerodermie). To benefit the long term quality of life of patients, the treatment is recommended every 1 to 3 years.

The Gastein Thermal Water and its benefits
 
Examinations have proved that rain water seeps into the Graukogel and Hüttenkogel mountain region, approximately 1,800 meters above sea level, then drops to a depth of 2,000 meters, warms itself deep underground, and rises again to approximately 1,000 meters above sea level, coming to light in the Badberg area in Bad Gastein - from 17 different springs with a productivity of five million litres per day. The Gastein thermal water contains the inert gas radon and has an original temperature of 44,3 °C.

The Gastein Healing Gallery – Gasteiner Heilstollen and ist benefits
 
The atmosphere within the Heilstollen in Gastein is UNIQUE in the world. It is the most effective spa treatment in the Gastein Valley. The extraordinary effects of the Heilstollen are result of three factors:
Radon content of 44 Bq/l of air (in the centre of the Heilstollen)
Air temperature of 37oC to 41,5 oC
Relative air humidity of 70% to almost 100%

A special train takes you 2.5km into the mountain, where the warmth and humidity elevate the body's temperature to 38 °C, which increases the uptake
of radon. Radon is an inert gas, which accelerates cell metabolism through its short-wave rays. The unique biological effects of Radon take place as a result of the energy rich alpha rays, which occur during disintegration, which means that very small doses are sufficient to promote the beneficial effects. The varying temperatures and humidity levels present at different levels, or "stations", of the Heilstollen, allow treatments to be tailor-made according to the condition and the ability of the patient to cope with the heat. This natural therapy is under constant medical observation and can be used in the treatment of the following conditions:

The Gastein Heilstollen treatment improves the body's ability to regulate itself and can therefore be used to maintain your general health.
