Balance instead of stimulation
An immune system does not need to be boosted, it needs to be regulated. We identify chronic inflammation, gut imbalances and environmental burdens and address them at their source.
Immune Regulation
Restoring balance within the immune system by addressing chronic inflammation, underlying imbalances and environmental stressors.
A balanced immune system
is quiet, not loud.

Immune regulation explained by our doctors
Why silent inflammation, the gut and environmental stressors decide how well your immune system protects you.

Why immune regulation at Lanserhof
Precise diagnostics, therapeutic apheresis and the Lanserhof Concept bring an overactive or exhausted immune system back into balance.
What the programme includes
- Inflammation and micronutrient diagnostics
- INUSpheresis therapeutic blood filtration
- Gut microbiome analysis and nutrition
What to expect At Lanserhof
-
INUSpheresis is offered in Lans and at Tegernsee, the Long Covid package in Lans. Your doctor advises which resort and which programme match your medical situation.
-
Laboratory diagnostics measure inflammation markers, immune status, micronutrients and, where indicated, environmental toxins. The results show where your immune system is out of balance and why.
-
INUSpheresis is a therapeutic apheresis in which the blood plasma is filtered outside the body. Inflammatory mediators, environmental toxins and other burdening substances are removed and the cleansed plasma is returned.
-
Gut microbiome analysis reveals the state of your intestinal flora, where most immune cells reside. Targeted nutrition and, where needed, probiotic support restore a resilient gut barrier.
-
The Long Covid package addresses persistent fatigue, cognitive symptoms and reduced resilience after infection. Medical care, apheresis and regeneration are combined according to your findings.
-
Micronutrient therapy, gentle movement and structured rest support immune modulation beyond your stay. Follow-up diagnostics make the effect measurable over time.

Immune regulation programmes at our resorts in Lans and at Tegernsee, including INUSpheresis and the Long Covid package. All prices are per person and exclude accommodation.
As individual as you Your programme
Together with our doctors, we determine which diagnostics and therapies your immune system needs in order to find its balance again.
Immune regulation at Lanserhof is about restoring balance, not boosting. Chronic low-grade inflammation, an imbalanced gut microbiome, micronutrient deficits and environmental toxins can leave the immune system either overactive or exhausted. Our programmes in Lans and at Tegernsee combine precise laboratory diagnostics, therapeutic apheresis with INUSpheresis and the Lanserhof Concept to address these causes rather than their symptoms, including persistent complaints after a COVID-19 infection.
Immune regulation starts with inflammation diagnostics
Every immune regulation programme begins with a medical check-up and detailed laboratory analysis. Inflammation markers, immune status, micronutrient levels and gut microbiome composition show where the immune system is under strain. Where indicated, environmental toxins such as heavy metals or persistent chemicals are measured as well. Your doctor uses these findings to define an individual therapy plan that combines nutrition, micronutrient supplementation and, where appropriate, apheresis. Follow-up tests make the progress of your immune regulation measurable.
INUSpheresis: therapeutic apheresis for immune regulation
INUSpheresis is a form of therapeutic apheresis in which blood plasma is separated and passed through a special filter outside the body. Inflammatory mediators, autoantibodies, environmental toxins and other burdening substances are retained, and the cleansed plasma is returned. The procedure is carried out under medical supervision in Lans and at Tegernsee and can support the immune system in chronic inflammation, environmental illness and persistent symptoms after infections. Whether it is suitable for you is decided together with your doctor.
Gut microbiome, micronutrients and Long Covid
Because a large share of immune cells resides in the gut, immune regulation always includes the microbiome. Targeted nutrition according to the Lanserhof Concept, probiotic support and a strengthened gut barrier calm systemic inflammation. Micronutrient therapy compensates for deficits that weaken immune defence. The Long Covid package in Lans combines these elements with apheresis, gentle movement and structured regeneration for guests with persistent fatigue, cognitive symptoms and reduced resilience after COVID-19.
