WHAT WE TREAT
Living with COPD can be overwhelming, with managing treatment, adjusting your lifestyle, and coping with symptoms often feeling like a constant challenge. At Paracelsus Recovery, we’re here to help lighten the load by supporting you alongside your medical care. In collaboration with all hospitals in Zurich, we complement your treatment with integrative therapies and alternative care.
While we cannot cure COPD, we aim to provide relief from symptoms and offer support for the emotional and psychological aspects of living with the condition, helping you focus on your well-being with less stress. We can help you remove smoking from your life, too, if necessary.
At Paracelsus Recovery, we understand the challenges of living with COPD and its related conditions. We work alongside all hospitals in Zurich to ensure you receive the necessary medical treatment, while we take care of the other aspects of your well-being. Conditions like heart disease, lung infections, sleep apnoea, and anxiety often go hand in hand with COPD, so our approach focuses on treating the whole person. While our integrative therapies can’t cure COPD, they can help ease symptoms, improve lung function, and support your mental and emotional health.
Our treatment programme is designed to restore balance and improve your overall quality of life, helping conventional treatments work more effectively. We start by conducting detailed tests to assess your lung function, heart health, and emotional well-being, then create a treatment plan that’s just for you. Our 360-degree approach brings together various disciplines, including medical care, orthomolecular support, psychological therapy, acupuncture, pulmonary rehabilitation, and breathwork, to help you feel better and manage your condition more easily.

Our approach considers the whole person: mind, body and soul
At the heart of what we do is our 360-degree treatment approach.
Like all our treatment programmes, we begin with a detailed testing process to assess your lung function, inflammation levels, and any other underlying imbalances related to COPD. From this, we create a personalised treatment plan that targets your specific needs, focusing on improving your respiratory health and overall well-being. Our 360-degree consultation includes a variety of expert perspectives, such as medical care, orthomolecular medicine, psychological support, pulmonary rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and more, ensuring a comprehensive approach that’s tailored to your condition.
Many of your treatments will be carried out at some of Zurich’s most renowned hospitals, where we collaborate closely to ensure the highest level of care. You can learn more about our partnerships with these institutions treatment in conjunction with Zurich's best hospitals.
