Atopic Dermatitis: Life in a Constant State of Crisis
Atopic dermatitis is often dismissed as a minor skin irritation. For the children Kumi Uri supports, it means a life of unbearable itching, bleeding wounds, chronic sleep deprivation, and social isolation. Conventional medicine too often offers only symptom management – not holistic solutions.
Children scratch until they bleed – around the clock. Families lose their nights.
Shame, social withdrawal, depression – the condition robs children of their carefree years.
Left untreated, the disease can have lasting consequences – both physical and psychological.
“I cried with my 2-year-old daughter at 3 a.m. when she said she couldn’t take it anymore. Kumi Uri is the only light in the dark tunnel of atopic dermatitis.”— R.F. and family · Kumi Uri reference letter
Effects often last months to years
5 Weeks Healing Camp in Davos
The Healing Summer Camp combines highly specialised medical treatment with psychosocial support – in one of Europe’s most therapeutically beneficial climates.
Acute Stabilisation
Clinical assessment at the Hochgebirgsklinik Davos, personalised medication adjustments, intensive skincare education and initial SCORAD measurement.
Building Resilience
Psychosocial workshops, group therapy, outdoor climate therapy and intensive parent coaching for lasting everyday impact.
Transition Preparation
Final SCORAD assessment, individualised care plans, preparation for returning home and integration into the Kumi Uri community.
🏔 Why Davos? The Therapeutic Alpine Climate
At 1,560 m above sea level, Davos offers ideal conditions: extremely low levels of house dust mites, pollen and pollutants – the main triggers of flare-ups. UV radiation provides natural anti-inflammatory benefits. Dr. Matthias Möhrenschlager of the Hochgebirgsklinik Davos: «Over 60 years, thousands of patients have experienced enormous benefits – effects often persist for months or even years.»

With the absence of itching, affected children can often sleep for the first time in weeks or months. The improved skin condition frequently lasts for months or even years after the camp.”
