Simulated Altitude Training for Your Health
IHHT-Therapy
IHHT – Altitude Air Therapy for Cellular Health and Regeneration
IHHT therapy – short for Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy – is a targeted form of altitude air therapy that gently challenges the body. By alternating between oxygen-reduced and oxygen-enriched air, the effects of classic altitude training are simulated – without the need to travel to the mountains.
This controlled, interval-based reduction of oxygen encourages the body to work more efficiently. New mitochondria – the cell’s energy centres – are stimulated to develop, gradually replacing weakened or impaired ones. In simple terms, metabolism and cellular regeneration are supported in a way that is both effective and gentle.
IHHT is used worldwide in prevention and recovery. At our wellness and health retreat, it is thoughtfully integrated into selected programmes focused on revitalisation – non-invasive, carefully guided, and individually tailored.
Lie Down. Breathe. Regenerate.
While the body rests, a complex training process unfolds on a cellular level. IHHT therapy at BLEIB BERG combines medical supervision, individual dosage, and the regulating power of nature into a quiet form of regeneration.
Without effort. Without pressure.
Yet with a tangible effect – precisely aligned with your needs.
The IHHT method simulates classic altitude training by precisely controlling the oxygen concentration in the air you breathe. As the name suggests, it alternates between phases of hypoxia and hyperoxia.
Hypoxia: 9–16% oxygen
Hyperoxia: 32–34% oxygen
The body’s own oxygen sensor, HIF-1α, responds to these changing oxygen levels. During hypoxic phases, regenerative processes are activated: mitochondria are renewed, circulation and cellular metabolism are stimulated, and oxidative stress is reduced.
In the subsequent hyperoxic phase, the increased oxygen supply supports recovery. The body learns to adapt more efficiently to changing conditions – without any external strain. A controlled stimulus, guided by medicine, that works from within.
IHHT therapy is used when cellular metabolism needs support and mitochondrial performance is to be strengthened. This form of simulated altitude training can be particularly helpful in the following situations:
– Chronic exhaustion (fatigue syndrome)
– Persistent stress and sleep disturbances
– After physical strain
– Prevention of age-related complaints
– Long COVID and post-viral fatigue (early studies)
– Metabolic syndrome and impaired energy metabolism
– Performance optimisation in sports and shorter recovery phases
Altitude training is considered a well-tolerated complement to conventional medical approaches. Individually dosed and medically supervised, IHHT supports regeneration in a gentle, targeted way.
For IHHT training at BLEIB BERG, state-of-the-art technology is used: the CellAir system. It simulates altitude air training with precision – computer-controlled, safe, and individually adjusted to each guest.
The German manufacturer cellgym has been a pioneer in IHHT technology for more than 15 years. Their experience forms the technical foundation for a method that is medically sound, reliable, and finely tuned to personal needs.
The IHHT Training Process
IHHT training is carried out comfortably while you lie down. Breathing through a mask, you are alternately supplied with oxygen-reduced and oxygen-enriched air. At the same time, a pulse oximeter placed on your finger monitors oxygen saturation and heart rate.
The IHHT system adjusts oxygen levels in real time based on these measurements – ensuring precise control and optimal training conditions.
A typical session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and consists of several breathing cycles. The entire process remains passive. You rest while the body responds and adapts on a cellular level.
IHHT is part of our regulatory applications and is always conducted under medical supervision. For many guests, it becomes a place of calm with a deep and lasting effect.
IHHT at BLEIB BERG – Individually Tailored
At BLEIB BERG, IHHT therapy is not a standard module. It is integrated purposefully and under medical supervision into your personal health concept. Following an initial medical assessment, the altitude air therapy is individually dosed – aligned with your health goals, physical condition, and any accompanying therapies.
In this way, IHHT complements our programmes with precision, including F.X. MAYR BASIC and F.X. MAYR PLUS,. Always as part of a holistic approach to regeneration, prevention, and vitality.
We invite you to seek personal advice and discover how IHHT training at BLEIB BERG can set new impulses for sustainable, whole-person well-being.
