Graduation Tower “Open-Air Inhalatorium” in the Spa Park
The brine trickles down at a concentration of 7 to 11% over mountain pine branches and bundles of blackthorn brushwood, absorbing their valuable essential oils. Through this steady dripping, the air surrounding the graduation tower becomes enriched with fine salt particles, bringing a soothing “breeze of sea air” directly inland.
Much like real sea air, this microclimate has a particularly positive effect on pollen allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Inhaling the salt-enriched air has expectorant, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties, while also supporting the prevention and relief of chronic bronchitis and sinusitis.
In addition, this “natural fountain of health” is credited with having a revitalizing effect on fatigue as well as a supportive role in cardiovascular and vascular conditions. At the same time, spending time here imparts a deep sense of calm and relaxation and exerts an exceptionally beneficial influence on the autonomic nervous system.
For these reasons, many physicians and naturopaths recommend a stay by the sea or in spa towns that harness the benefits of graduation towers. For optimal results, it is recommended to visit the facility several times a week and breathe in the salty air deeply for at least 30 minutes per session.
