Therapy
The Cure – Healing processes based on natural healing resources
The on-site natural healing resources are the foundation of each cure therapy. Only resources possessing special qualities, that have not had any alternations to their natural state; and have been scientifically proven to cause or can be expected to bring about healing effects, are legally recognized. In the case of the Humanomed Center Althofen, this is our healing moor and healing mud.
Each individual therapy has great importance, because each form of therapy can be seen as a small gear wheel – only through the movement of all gears there will be the maximal effect on the entire organism achieved.
Each cure is a mixture of active and passive cure therapies. An example of an active cure application is group gymnastics while passive applications are healing baths, massages and mud packs. An important factor for a successful cure therapy is the specialized information events, which we constantly provide here.
Over one hundred highly qualified therapists ensure the best possible spectrum of tried and tested therapy forms as well as newly developed forms.
Moreover, the potentially necessary diet plan will be determined and explained at the first examination.
Healing moor and healing mud
Healing moor and healing mud
Expert assessments from universities prove that the “Althofener” healing moor has special properties that occur rarely in healing moors and healing muds. Althofen's “black gold” in its form can only be found in four other places in Europe: Abano, Italy; Pystian, Slovakia; Eforie, Romania; and Igalo, Montenegro. The elemental forces from the Earth's inner core, which formed our planet millions of years ago, are still at work today in the healthy soil and the healing mud and moor of the Humanomed Center Althofen.
The first assessment survey testing the quality of the Althofen healing moor is dated to the year 1881. After the Carinthian Provincial Research Institute for Healing Methods had confirmed the healing properties of the clay mud, the first cure institute was founded. Today, one can still find plant varieties in Althofen's Niedermoor (the lower moor) that have long disappeared in most other places.
