"Gesund durchatmen an den Krimmler Wasserfällen"

The Krimml Waterfalls – Officially approved as a Natural Healer
The Krimml Waterfalls are not only Europe’s largest waterfalls, they are a natural remedy for allergies and asthma as well. As early as 1808, the medicus Wolfgang Oberlechner recommended his patients a recreational stay at the Krimml Waterfalls. Today, the Krimml Waterfalls are used as a natural healer, offering patients suffering from allergies or asthma a new therapeutical opportunity to free themselves from their symptoms for up to four months.

Sustainable Health Improvement, Scientifically Proven
The secret of the healing effect of the Krimml Waterfalls lies in the exceptionally fine spray mist. This spray mist consists of negatively charged, finely atomized respirable water fragments called waterfall aerosols. The water falls into the valley at such great force that the water molecules burst as they hit the rocks. This mechanism creates the nanometre-sized water aerosols. Their extreme smallness enables the waterfall aerosols to penetrate deep into the respiratory tract where they develop their immune modulating effect. Exposing oneself to the spray mist of the Krimml Waterfalls has a sustainable positive effect on one’s organism. A clinical study with 54 children suffering from asthma has proven clearly the healing effect of the Krimml Waterfalls. A three-week stay at the waterfalls significantly improved the children’s medical lead parameters in relation to their allergic asthma and had a sustainable positive effect of up to four months. The Krimml Waterfalls bring the stressed immune system of patients suffering from allergies or asthma back into balance.

The Waterfall Therapy: A deep Breath for Asthma and Allergy Patients
The Waterfall Therapy consists of spending one hour per day close to the waterfalls. Patients can organize their therapy hour according to their personal inclinations: listening to the water, meditating, conscious breathing, or simply enjoying nature. A therapy should last at least 14 days; three weeks would be ideal. Those who practise sport daily in addition to their stay at the waterfalls will increase the healing effect. Sport is especially important for asthma patients to sustain their physical fitness and resilience, thus counteracting respiratory distress and asthma attacks. Hiking and cycling are ideal recreational sports: speed, distance, uphill slopes and stops for little breaks can be adapted to individual fitness at any time.
