Pain relief in the Gastein healing gallery

2.5 kilometers inside the Radhausberg , there is a healing climate that is unique in the world and was only discovered by chance during excavation work in the 1940s. Today, guests take a train into the mountain's interior to soak up the stimulating climate in the natural radon tunnel : Radon radiation, 37 to 41.5° C heat and 75 to 100% humidity. A therapy with healing tunnel entrances helps especially with chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory tract and the skin. In many cases, the treatments lead to a significant increase in the quality of life, savings on medication and natural pain relief that lasts up to 9 months. There are also introductory offers for those interested .

Before the first entry , each guest gets a clarification from the doctor . A train then takes them to one of the five stations, which differ in terms of the intensity of the climate . A therapy unit lasts 60 minutes. Inside the mountain , in addition to heat and humidity , mild alpha radiation acts on the body, this stimulates the repair function of the cells, thereby sending out anti-inflammatory messengers. In order to achieve long-lasting pain relief and stabilization of the immune system, 8-12 units are usually recommended.
