What is radon and how does this radioactive substance work?
The mild natural radioactivity has only positive effects on the body when applied as a curative treatment. The inert gas emanates from the thermal water passing through the airways and skin into the body. There its healing properties go to work straight away, as in just three hours it will have been completely broken down. The immune system is stimulated and the natural warmth promotes blood circulation.
 
The healing process is supported by the altitude of the Gastein region. As our bodies adjust to the altitude, they produce more red blood cells increasing the delivery of oxygen to our tissue.
