To achieve the positive effects of this inhalation best, we recommend to visit the graduation house daily for about 20 minutes.

Graduation houses or walls were initially used in salines to concentrate the brine. Thereby it was discovered that respiratory ailments are being relieved. We cannot mine salt in Waldenstein.
