The Intermittent hypoxia therapy (IHHT) is a modern, non-invasive procedure from high-altitude medicine that specifically activates the regeneration processes of your cells. At the interface between cardiology, sports medicine and prevention, this method offers a highly efficient, drug-free treatment option.
How does IHHT work?
The therapy simulates the conditions of the high mountains through a controlled interplay of oxygen-poor and oxygen-rich air. This stimulus causes „exhausted“ cellular power plants (mitochondria) to be eliminated and make room for new, powerful cells.
Who benefits from the therapy?
Patients with long-COVID & burnout: Support for chronic states of exhaustion through targeted cellular regeneration.
Competitive athlete: Effective altitude acclimatization and sustainable performance optimization.
Metabolic patients: Positive effects on metabolic disorders.
Those interested in prevention: Increases general vitality and regeneration.
Procedure & costs
Scope: The therapy usually includes ten sessions of 60 minutes each.
Billing: In the case of privately insured persons, coverage by private health insurance is possible. Fees are charged according to the GOÄ (scale of fees for doctors) using specific analog numbers.
