OptimaMed Gesundheitsresort Oberzeiring

The effect of the Heilstollen in Oberzeiring for people with diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract

Breathing in the 8°C cold air, which is largely saturated with water, causes the air to heat up to 37°C in the respiratory tract. The resulting relatively dry breathing air draws moisture from the tissue of the inner lung surface and causes the mucus in the airways to liquefy better and can be coughed up more easily.

The duration of therapy in the Heilstollen is one full hour daily. Patients spend this hour of therapy in comfortable health loungers and are looked after by a therapist on the spacious therapy floor in the Heilstollen (10 m high gallery). The Heilstollen is easily accessible by lift directly from the health resort.
