Healing factors & effect
The worldwide unique healing climate is absorbed through the lungs and the skin and quickly distributed throughout the body. Its decay products are deposited on the skin and mild alpha radiation is released.
This stimulates the body's cell repair mechanism and reduces the number of free radicals. Anti-inflammatory and healing-promoting messenger substances are activated.
The migration of inflammatory cells through the vessel walls is reduced. These processes counteract chronic inflammation and allergies.
Reimbursement of expenses?
Many of our guests travel at their own expense for therapy, cure or rehabilitation to a spa in Germany or abroad. Our health center offers numerous all-inclusive offers, which include healing tunnel entrances, physical therapies and partly also overnight stays.
In many cases, however, it is possible to have the costs of a cure fully or partially reimbursed by your health insurance. A prerequisite for this is that a medical justification for a therapy stay/a cure is available.
The way to a cure and healing treatment in Gastein is generally the same with Austrian insurance companies, namely through a cure application, which is examined and requires a permit.
The Gasteiner Heilstollen also has agreements with many Austrian insurance companies for direct billing of spa treatments and Heilstollen therapy.
German health insurance companies also offer direct billing for outpatient preventive care services and inpatient rehabilitation stays.
