Healthy climate
The village of Höchenschwand owes its label “climatic resort”, among other reasons, to the particularities of its climatic conditions. We would like to present you briefly these specific climatic features of Höchenschwand as well as their effects on the human being regardless to the health conditions.
Even for healthy people the impact of a change of meteorological and climatic conditions either at home or during a stay at the seaside, in the high mountains or in far countries is immediately perceptible. The beneficial effects of the climate on the development of diseases (for example: asthma, skin disorders, anaemia) is an undeniable fact of medical experience, being moreover subject to scientific research.
The quality of the climate at Höchenschwand is essentially determined by the following factors: - geographic situation
- sunshine frequency
- air quality
- air temperature
- atmospheric inversion (temperature inversion)
- “cooling figure” in summer
- precipitations
- atmospheric pressure
- landscape
The physiological impact on the human being is always the result of several simultaneous effects. The influence depends moreover on the individual physiological and psychological sensitivity. Therefore the wholesomeness of the climate varies considerably depending on the individual perception and on the character of the disease. The benefits of a healthy climate consist above all in the stimulation and in the strengthening of the immune system. This results not only in an improved healing process but also in a diminished vulnerability to illness.
