Indications
When it comes to one's health, state of mind or physical condition, there is always room for improvement. Our focus areas in preventative, palliative and active medical care are the respiratory passages, locomotor system, burn-out syndrome and functional or chronic inflammatory disorders.
Disorders of the respiratory passages/lowered resistance
Nose, sinuses, throat, larynx, vocal cords and windpipes, bronchitis, asthma, COPD, emphysema, hyperreactive bronchial system, respiratory function disorders, and many more.
Therapies and cure applications:
Saltwater inhalations (0.9- 2.5% sterilized saltwater)
Saltwater when inhaled prevents infections, loosens up a cough, works as an expectorant and heals the mucous membranes.
Our wide range of inhalation possibilities (equipment, booths), nebulizers (aerosol, ultrasound nebulizer) and substances (plant or medicinal) means that we are able to combine different elements to form individual therapies for the relief of respiratory disorders and their symptoms. Your resort doctor will prescribe the inhalation form best suited to you. Saltwater inhalation has also proven to be an excellent preventative measure for sensitive respiratory tracts. Children love the “fog chambers” (aerosol booth inhalations).
Saltwater, nose and throat rinsing, saltwater gurgling
Used to cleanse and strength the mucous membranes
Saltwater hydrotherapies
During a saltwater bath complex biological procedures allow the brine to influence the target organs (respiratory passages, immunological centres) through the skin and achieve the following: anti-inflammatory effects, pain-relief, mucous membrane recovery, regeneration, induction of enzymatic, immunological and anti-allergic processes, improvement of infection resistance, correction of mucous consistency, expectorant promotion, etc.
- Saltwater combination baths
Depending on the health need, saltwater baths can be enriched with oxygen, carbon dioxide or air bubbles, and supplemented with medicinal bath products such as eucalyptus and conifers. - Saltwater underwater massage with brush bath

Climatic health resort
With its year-round fog-free, mild sub-alpine climate, Bad Ischl is a recognised climatic health resort. (Bad Ischl (town) 468 m above sea level, Kartinalm 1,415 m above sea level)
Climatic cure
(weather-dependent)
When altitudes change, so does the climate, and the effects are felt by the entire body. The essentially is the principle behind modern climatic cures. Reactive processes are triggered throughout the body and its self-healing powers are activated.
The cable car journey starts in Bad Ischl and slowly passes over the trees to the Katrinalm, the town's local mountain (1,415 m above sea level). Guests stay there for around 1 hour (active relaxation, breathing exercises, curative climate kinetotherapy, walks, etc.)

MOTIVATION, HELP AND PREVENTION
- Unhappy with your figure? Or maybe even suffering from a metabolic syndrome?
- Do you feel all clogged up? Are you tired and lacking in energy even first thing in the morning? Do you feel bloated? Dissatisfied, edgy and nervous?
Both the intestines and connective tissue can be encumbered with the residue of unusable substances. The transit route - between the body cells and blood vessels - is often "clogged" as a result of eating too much or incorrect food, with the problem made even worse by a lack of exercise and some everyday vices. A lifestyle change can bring energy, joy and wellbeing into your life.
How? You'll find out during your personal consultation. You'll also learn how to improve your health, metabolism and looks sensibly and sustainably.
In the best of hands - therapies and cures:
The therapies created to get you fit for everyday life again are designed to optimize your metabolism and free you from "past junk". Both the intestines and connective tissue can be encumbered with the residue of unusable substances.
