April is extremely changeable in terms of weather. Many people suffer from severe climatic fluctuations under head pressure, irritability, circulatory disorders or pain in muscles and joints. Particularly affected: rheumatism. They cause increasing and decreasing temperatures, high humidity and decreasing air pressure. In these conditions, rheumatic complaints often worsen. Measures such as changing showers or sauna visits to regulate the stimulation threshold provide in some cases, short-term relief, but as well as painkillers are not a permanent solution. Who wants to take a lasting action against rheumatic symptoms, found in radon heat therapy, a natural alternative to drug treatment.

„Acquired via the skin and lungs, Radon releases alpha rays, which stimulate cell repair and activate pain-inhibiting messengers,“ explains Dr. Bertram Hölzl, radon expert and medical director of the Gasteiner Heilstollen. By the so-called hyperthermia effect, this effect is even enhanced. Because it is up to 41 degrees warm in the tunnel, therapeutic fever briefly develops in the body, which improves the absorption capacity for the noble gas. „The Radonwärmetherapie also has been shown to influence the serotonin metabolism, the disorder experts suspect as the cause of the increased pain sensation in case of weather changes and leads to the relaxation of the muscles, which benefit rheumatism sufferers significantly“, reports Hölzl. Patients drive into a mountain and stay there for about 60 minutes.
