The
Gastein Radon Gallery: Due to its outstanding success
rate, the Gastein Radon Gallery is
regarded as the most effective healing
therapy in the Gastein valley. Its extraordinary level
of
effectiveness is derived from three
naturally occurring healing factors:
A radon concentration
of up to 4.5 nano-Curie per litre of air
An air temperature
of 37.0 C to 41.5 C
Relative humidity
of 70-95 %
A
subterranean railway extends 2.5 km into the heart of
the mountain. The warmth and high
humidity causes the body temperature
to rise to approximately 38 C, which increases the
absorption of radon. Short-term exposure
to radon - a noble gas - stimulates cellular metabolism.
