Climate therapy studies
Scientifically proven: Find out how climate therapy (Climatotherapy) can help with respiratory, skin and rheumatic complaints
Climatotherapy scientifically tested: An overview of the study situation
Climate therapy (or Climatotherapy) makes targeted use of the healing effects of natural environmental factors to effectively alleviate chronic illnesses. Scientific studies confirm the many benefits of this form of therapy.
For example, one study shows that climate therapy in coastal regions can bring about significant improvements in asthma and skin complaints such as prurigo asthma syndrome. Studies also prove the effectiveness of climatotherapy at the Dead Sea: children with atopic eczema benefit from a significant reduction in atopic dermatitis, while patients with psoriasis experience an improvement in the course of the disease and their self-management as a result of the treatment.
The combination of hydrotherapy and climatotherapy has also been shown to relieve pain and increase mobility in rheumatic diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis .
These results illustrate that climate therapy is a natural and effective option for promoting health and well-being.
