Immun Therapies
States of fatigue and reduced general health can arise for many reasons, whether following serious illnesses, physically demanding surgeries, or other weakening circumstances. These conditions often share similar symptoms, including ongoing tiredness, inner restlessness, reduced performance and diminished physical resilience.
The Biological Regeneration Cure is designed to gently support the body during such phases. Its aim is to strengthen muscle function, enhance concentration, and support the body’s natural regenerative processes through the targeted intake of restorative substances, thereby contributing to improved overall well‑being.
The restorative infusion used as part of this program contains carefully selected components such as zinc, selenium, magnesium, vitamins B6 and B12, L‑carnitine, as well as homeopathic preparations intended to stimulate liver, lymphatic and cellular metabolism. In cases where inner restlessness is present, the treatment may be complemented by herbal substances to support relaxation of the nervous system.
For guests experiencing tinnitus, an additional laser application may be offered as a supportive measure.
Applied gently via the ear canal, this treatment can stimulate blood circulation in the inner ear and balance system, contributing to a soothing effect.
The cure is also helpful for general regeneration following a stroke,
heart attack, or other serious illnesses.
Targeted support for pain conditions of various origins, including polyneuropathy
The Neuropathy Cure is designed to support individuals experiencing nerve‑related pain conditions caused by different underlying factors, including polyneuropathy.
Polyneuropathy involves damage to nerve cells and neural pathways, which can develop from various causes. This impairment leads to a reduction in nerve conduction velocity, affecting the perception of touch, temperature and pain. In some cases, this may result in unpleasant or painful sensations that significantly impact daily life.
The Neuropathy Cure follows a comprehensive therapeutic approach, combining several supportive methods:
This integrated program aims to strengthen nerve health, relieve persistent discomfort, and restore improved movement coordination. By addressing both sensory and motor function, the Neuropathy Cure seeks to enhance independence, reduce the risk of falls and contribute to long‑term well‑being.
For nerve‑related pain conditions and sensory disorders of various origins
The Neuropathy Cure is designed for individuals experiencing nerve‑related pain and functional impairments, including conditions such as polyneuropathy.
For these and similar complaints, the Neuropathy Cure may offer effective therapeutic support.
The program follows a structured and multimodal approach, including:
This comprehensive therapeutic concept focuses on nerve regeneration, pain relief, and the restoration of sensory and motor function. By addressing both symptoms and underlying functional impairments, the Neuropathy Cure aims to enhance quality of life, improve stability and reduce the risk of falls and related injuries.
Do you experience pain in your knees, hips, shoulders, or other joints?
Are these joints stiff or difficult to move, especially in the morning?
Such symptoms are often caused by osteoarthritis, a condition related to progressive cartilage degeneration and one of the most common joint disorders.
As osteoarthritis develops from a metabolic imbalance within cartilage cells, effective therapy focuses on addressing the underlying cause rather than only treating the symptoms.
Cartilage is one of the few tissues in the body that does not have its own blood supply. It is nourished exclusively through the synovial fluid within the joint. This nutrient‑rich fluid surrounds the cartilage and provides the substances required for its maintenance. Cartilage wear often occurs when this supply is insufficient, leading to a gradual decline in cartilage health and joint function.
To address these mechanisms, we have developed the Bad Griesbach Osteoarthritis Program, a targeted therapeutic concept designed to support cartilage metabolism and joint mobility.
This program is an ideal complement to the use of thermal bathing, which can promote circulation and support overall regeneration. The combined approach aims to enhance the cartilage’s ability to recover, reduce joint stiffness and ease pain, thereby improving everyday mobility and comfort.
The goal of this therapy is to restore joint function, reduce pain and improve quality of life for individuals affected by osteoarthritis and related degenerative joint conditions.
To stimulate the joints and surrounding supportive structures, a carefully coordinated combination of cartilage and muscle extracts is administered intramuscularly. These extracts distribute throughout the joints, enriching the synovial fluid and improving its nutritional value.
The enhanced nutrient supply supports cartilage cells over a longer period, increases the resilience and load‑bearing capacity of the cartilage, and improves joint cushioning. In addition, this therapy has a positive effect on muscles, tendons, and ligaments surrounding the joint.
In osteoarthritis, degenerative processes can disrupt the natural electrical balance of cartilage cell membranes, impairing nutrient uptake. Pulsed magnetic fields help normalise these electrical charges, enabling nutrients to enter the cartilage cells more efficiently.
This process supports faster recovery of weakened cartilage cells and contributes to improved cartilage quality. Our PMT system allows simultaneous treatment of two pain regions, which is particularly beneficial when multiple joints such as hips and knees or shoulders are affected. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes and offers both time and cost efficiency.
Severe pain is often caused by swelling of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules, which may intensify at night or during physical load. In some cases, nerve irritation can lead to localised pain or radiating discomfort, for example into the groin, thigh, or upper arm.
In these situations, anti‑pain infusion therapy using selected natural anti‑inflammatory herbal substances helps reduce swelling in the joint capsule and surrounding tissue, thereby easing pain. These infusions can be administered in parallel with pulsed magnetic field therapy.
For pronounced pain in individual joints, targeted joint injections may be used to intensify the therapeutic effect. Cartilage extracts are injected directly into the affected joint and are combined with natural anti‑inflammatory agents and procain, which can help reduce joint capsule inflammation and irritation.

The thymus gland is a key component of the immune system and plays an important role in the body’s defence against viruses, bacteria, and abnormal cells. The aim of Thymus Therapy THX is to provide sustained support for immune function by stimulating specific immune cells, particularly T‑lymphocytes and natural killer cells.
This stimulation is achieved through intramuscular administration of thymus extracts, which can support the production and activity of these defence cells. In addition, the extracts contain components that may contribute to pain regulation, which can be supportive in inflammatory conditions such as rheumatism.
Thymus Therapy THX may be considered in the following situations:
The number of treatments is tailored individually and may vary depending on the indication:
Thymus Therapy THX is particularly suitable for individuals who experience recurrent infections or live with chronic immune‑related conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or cancer. The therapy focuses on supporting the body’s natural defence mechanisms, promoting immune balance and contributing to improved overall resilience and well‑being.
Targeted immune support for short-term stays
The Immune Booster program is designed to provide focused stimulation of the immune system, particularly during shorter stays. This combined therapy supports the increased formation and activity of key immune cells, especially T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. At the same time, high‑dose vitamin C is administered to help protect blood vessels and organ cells, thereby reinforcing the body’s natural immune defence.
Vitamin C plays an important role in immune regulation. It can help reduce the ability of pathogens to penetrate cells, stimulate the activity of immune cells, particularly T cells and natural killer cells and support lymphocyte production in cases of deficiency. In addition, vitamin C contributes to the protection of the inner lining of blood vessels.
High‑dose vitamin C infusions can therefore support immune responsiveness and overall cellular protection, particularly during periods of increased immune challenge.
Laboratory testing can be valuable even before symptoms appear, especially when immune imbalance is suspected.
Comprehensive laboratory evaluation
The Health Check L is a detailed laboratory assessment designed to identify functional disturbances of the immune system as well as possible imbalances in organs and tissues, even in the absence of noticeable symptoms.
Typically, the following parameters are analysed:
Testing the trace elements selenium and zinc is particularly recommended, as both act as antioxidants and help relieve stress on the immune system. Deficiencies may increase susceptibility to infections. Studies have also shown that adequate vitamin D levels are essential for a well‑functioning immune response, making the assessment and correction of deficiencies especially worthwhile.
All laboratory results are discussed in detail and any recommended steps or therapeutic measures are explained clearly based on the individual findings.
Support for tinnitus, macular degeneration, post‑herpetic nerve pain, post‑polio nerve disorders and disorders of smell and taste.
Neuropathy Treatment as a Foundational Therapeutic Approach
The Combined Neuropathy Treatment serves as a foundational therapy for a range of chronic conditions linked to nerve dysfunction. The treatment focuses on supporting nerve metabolism, calming overstimulated nerve structures and improving blood circulation in nerve tissue, thereby influencing the overall neurological balance in a positive way.
Central elements of this approach include the administration of alpha‑lipoic acid and B‑vitamins, which support nerve metabolism, as well as intramuscular homeopathic preparations intended to gently calm irritated nerves. In addition, circulation‑enhancing measures help improve oxygen and nutrient supply to nerve tissue, contributing to functional stabilisation.
Due to this comprehensive effect on the nervous system, the therapy can also support conditions that are caused or aggravated by nerve disorders. These may include macular degeneration, a degenerative disease of the retina, as well as disturbances of smell and taste, which often occur after viral infections. Post‑herpetic nerve pain, neurological complications following polio and persistent tinnitus can also benefit from this integrative therapeutic concept.
In cases of complex or multifactorial conditions, the treatment may be complemented by selected naturopathic medications tailored specifically to the affected organ or tissue. The primary objectives are the alleviation of symptoms, improved quality of life and where possible, the slowing of disease progression through sustained neurological support.
This Treatment may be considered as supportive therapy for a range of nerve‑related and sensory disorders, including:
For disorders of smell and taste · approx. € 575
For macular degeneration · approx. € 608
For nerve pain following shingles · approx. € 540
