Immune Booster - Stimuli and Reactions

in the midst of all this, it is easy to lose our fine sense of ourselves. But those who are not aware of themselves lose their bearings. Health then becomes a task - instead of an experience.
The Tannerhof is the setting in which you can re-enter this inner space and feel yourself. A place where pressure and constant tension can be released. Where you can re-enter into a balanced dialog with your body and learn to consciously set the stimuli that do you good and strengthen you.

Care and support

Especially now, when the days are getting shorter, the air is cooler and the body and its immune system are being put to the test, this feeling becomes more important. In the cold season, the body is particularly put to the test. Then it's time to turn to it and support it. Not with pills and powders, but with real stimuli. With cold, warmth, oxygen, abstinence - and the body's wonderful ability to respond to all this with self-healing.

This is where the immune booster package at the Tannerhof comes in. It is based on the fundamental principle of naturopathy: stimulus and response. A deliberate, low-dose stimulus throws the organism out of balance - only briefly, but leads to a reaction from the body: it regulates, strengthens itself and trains its adaptability. The Immune Booster package combines three classic stimulation therapies: ozone autologous blood, IHHT altitude training and Kneipp alternating watering.

Together they form a powerful system that activates the immune system, metabolism and cell health:

Ozone autologous therapy

Ozone is the high-energy form of oxygen - three atoms that have a powerful biological effect. In large-scale ozone autologous blood therapy, a small amount of blood is taken from the body, enriched with a precisely dosed ozone-oxygen mixture and then returned. This targeted oxidative stimulus stimulates the immune system, improves oxygen utilization and at the same time has an anti-inflammatory effect. Ozone increases energy production in the mitochondria, the cell's power plants. Furthermore, the body's own antioxidants are activated, free radicals are intercepted and the immune system becomes more efficient. In addition, vitamin infusions or alkaline procaine infusions support the detoxifying effect.

IHHT

Intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia therapy (IHHT) is a gentle but profound stimulation therapy. It is based on alternating inhalation of low-oxygen and oxygen-rich air. The body experiences short phases of "oxygen deprivation", to which it reacts with a cascade of adaptive responses. During these phases, the regeneration of the mitochondria is stimulated. Old, weakened mitochondria are broken down and new ones are created. The result: more energy, improved stress resistance and a strengthened immune system.

Kneipp contrast showers

Here, water - the element that best transports heat and cold - is used specifically to train the circulation, blood vessels and immune system. When alternating between cold and warm water, the blood vessels contract and dilate again - vasoconstriction and vasodilation. This small, everyday challenge trains the vascular response, promotes blood circulation and strengthens the vegetative balance. The immune system reacts with increased white blood cell activity and the metabolism is stimulated.

Kneipp's treatments are simple but effective - especially in the months when the cold is often perceived as a threat. Dosed correctly, it becomes the immune system's best friend.

Nature is the best pharmacy

In addition to these three "stimulating" stimuli, the immune booster is framed by a medical intake and a final consultation. The small package includes two soothing treatments: a foot reflexology massage, which stimulates organs via reflex points and stimulates blood circulation, and a breathing therapy session, which heightens awareness of the flow of your own breath. In the middle package, two further treatments expand the program. A detox bath, which uses heat and salt to support elimination and stimulate the metabolism, and a craniosacral treatment, which uses manual impulses on the skull and sacrum to release blockages and calm the nervous system.

And if you want to intensify the effect of the immune booster, you can combine it wonderfully with a week of fasting. Fasting is perhaps the most original of all stimulation therapies. It is not a deprivation, but a conscious, targeted renunciation - a healing impulse that releases old patterns and activates new processes. During Buchinger therapeutic fasting, the body reduces its energy consumption, switches to fat and ketone metabolism and activates autophagy - the natural cell recycling process. Old, damaged cell components are broken down and new structures are created. At the same time, the concentration of protective and repairing molecules increases. The immune system uses this phase of "internal tidying up" to regenerate and renew itself. Studies show that fasting has an anti-inflammatory effect, positively influences the microbiome and balances the immune response.
At the Tannerhof, fasting is medically supervised - with broths, teas, exercise, rest and the confidence that the body knows what to do.

Dispensing with the superfluous creates the opportunity to feel the essentials

At a time when sensory overload is gaining the upper hand, the Tannerhof focuses on well-dosed physical stimuli. The immune booster package is not a cure in the traditional sense, but an invitation to yourself: to consciously expose yourself to stimuli in order to regain your balance.
Not to achieve more - but to reconnect with yourself. Because only those who feel themselves know what is good for them. It's not about short-term defense, but about long-term resilience - and about trusting that our body, properly stimulated, is the best medicine itself.
