Heilstollen Gastein - Live pain-free, naturally ? unique worldwide
The Gastein Healing Gallery is a health center for radon therapy located in Austria’s Gastein Valley. Treatments in the Healing Gallery (“Heilstollen”) are centered on therapy sessions conducted in a 2.5 km-long tunnel with naturally elevated radon levels.
The combination of high humidity, warmth and radon deep inside the Radhausberg in Bad Gastein makes the Gastein Healing Gallery a form of therapy unlike anywhere else on Earth. Long-lasting pain alleviation, reduced need for medications for as long as one year as well as immune stabilization, are amongst the scientifically proven benefits of radon therapy in this Healing Gallery in Austria.
The Gastein Healing Gallery aids in the treatment of rheumatic-inflammatory complaints of the musculoskeletal system, respiratory passages and skin. From a medical perspective, a treatment duration of 2-4 weeks is recommended. Patients take part in 3-4 Gallery sessions per week.
