Climatotherapy

Climatotherapy and thalassotherapy are used for chronic skin and respiratory diseases, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, lack of training for the whole body, seasonal mood swings/seasonal depression, convalescence after serious illness, as well as for secondary prevention and general health promotion.

Climatotherapy and thalassotherapy are offered at the North Sea and Baltic Sea, especially as a rehabilitation measure for chronic diseases and in the form of mother-father-child cures in specialized clinics, in the high mountains and in the low mountain ranges as inpatient and outpatient indication-related spa therapy, in climatic spas, seaside resorts and sea spas in Germany and in various other European countries.

The successes of climatic therapy have been documented to a large extent. More recent studies have recorded the long-term effects of climatotherapy on atopia, skin and respiratory diseases, for example at the seaside and in the high mountains.

Today, modern climate- and thalassotherapy is used on a scientifically proven basis for the targeted treatment of clearly defined disease patterns and chronic ailments as well as in prevention and health promotion with great success and long-term improvement of symptoms.
