    Literally a breath of fresh air! Since coming here, I can cough up mucus much more easily and I am no longer short of breath at night. I wish I had known this years ago!

    Maria – Better expectoration and better night's rest

    I really enjoyed the salt room. A colleague recommended it to me because of persistent complaints with my airways and lungs. The sessions have helped me clear all blockages. Besides, an hour in the salt room is a gift because of the absolute peace you experience!

    Estorm – Respiratory complaints and deep relaxation

    I've had psoriasis on my scalp for several months now. My GP first gave me something to soothe the itching, but that didn't really help. Then I got a referral to the dermatologist, but I can't go for another two months because it's not an emergency — no emergency when I can't sleep because of the itching?? Desperately looking for something that would help, I came across HaloClinic and thought: it can't hurt to try. The first session is free! The first time I thought: what is this supposed to do?? Nevertheless, I booked a second and third session in the same week. I started on 11-9 and since 7-10-2025 I only go once a week, for an hour and a half. Is it completely gone? No, not really, but I have little or no itching during the week, I sleep soundly again, and I still haven't been to a dermatologist! I'm so glad I discovered HaloClinic. For now, I'm going once a week, and later I'm thinking of twice a month. I'm already very happy that it helps me! Whether the psoriasis will disappear, I don't know yet — time will tell. The owners also give you tips and tricks on how to deal with it and what you can better omit from your diet, because some things trigger psoriasis, causing it to flare up again. Thank you, HaloClinic, for the peace and healing you bring me.

    It helped me very well. I went there because I was coughing so much, and after a while, it was completely gone. I am very satisfied 👍

    Joke – Persistent cough disappeared

    Due to circumstances, it took a while before I got to my review. I only have good experiences to report. From December 2024 to April 2025, I used the salt room in Heemstede about 30 times, due to mild COPD. Now, three months later, I still notice the positive effects: no more panting or wheezing, and my breathing is much calmer. I always looked forward to my hour of me-time in the salt room and certainly also to the pleasant conversations with Ursi and Ran. What lovely people. So, definitely see you again!

    Mechteld – Mild COPD, calmer breathing

    I've been coming to HaloClinic Heemstede for six years and go there weekly. I have COPD GOLD 4. In the years before I went to HaloClinic, I had about 5 to 6 lung infections a year — usually sick for two weeks and then another few weeks to recover. Since my visits to the salt room, my infections are negligible. If I do get one, it passes much faster. It will never be cured, but my life has improved so much.

    Joke – COPD GOLD 4, much fewer lung infections

    I have bronchiectasis and asthma, and suffer from recurrent pneumonia. Since 2021, I have been visiting the salt room in Heemstede. There was a period when I wasn't doing well. On the advice of the owner, I spent two consecutive hours in the salt room twice a week for several weeks. I recovered tremendously from that and can now maintain it with once a week. I have more air, hardly cough, and have more energy and desire to do things. It helps me, gives me energy, and it's a wonderfully relaxed hour.

    I would love to share with the whole world how wonderful I find the salt room, because I have had such good experiences with it. With my asthma, I now have much more air and am less short of breath. I have stopped my medication, because they didn't help anyway and are just chemical junk — the salt room is pure nature. I also have significantly more energy. I was so desperate: nothing helped me. I trust my doctor, but he never told me about this, which is a great pity. I am very grateful that I got to know this salt room and especially the lovely founders Ran and Ursi, because they really take the time for my story and I feel truly seen by them. But above all because it helps. Thank you, Ran and Ursi, for all your good efforts and compassion.

    Yvonne – Asthma, stopped medication

    This is truly fantastic — it really helps. I had chronic tonsillitis and coughed up a lot of mucus, even though my passion is singing in bands. I couldn't sing at all in 2024. After three consecutive visits to the salt clinic, my voice was crystal clear, because the mucus loosens up. It's a shame that it's not reimbursed by health insurance.

    Anneke – Chronic tonsillitis, able to sing again

    Two years ago, after a stressful period, my psoriasis flared up, especially on my head, ears, and several large patches on my lower legs. On my legs, the patches spread quickly, with a lot of crust formation. Ointments and creams prescribed by the dermatologist did not have the desired result. Since the spring of 2024, I have been coming to the salt room in Heemstede, and now in December, the psoriasis has almost disappeared. At the same time, my shortness of breath, which arose from double pneumonia, has also disappeared. I notice that I have more air and my sinuses are clear. In short: a very satisfied customer.

    Super friendly owners, always up for a chat or advice. I suffer severely from eczema and the itching is starting to subside. I'm curious what the future results will be. In any case, I find it a nice place to be. It’s great that the salt room is a quiet room and you can sit in comfortable chairs with ocean sounds in the background. There's also a special time for children and there's a playhouse with toys.

    Dieneke – Eczema and wonderful peace

    After being struck down by corona (first wave), I suffered from fatigue, breathing, and smell problems for a long time. In my search to improve this, I ended up at HaloClinic. I quickly experienced improvement: not only with breathing, but my sense of smell also returned more and more. I just booked ten new sessions at HaloClinic. I see it as a perfect way to continuously support my health.

    Irene – Eczema disappeared in 3 sessions

    I was diagnosed with asthma at fifty (26 years ago), and life was manageable with medication. However, over the years I experienced more mucus in my lungs and a blocked nose, resulting in annoying coughing up of mucus with accompanying sounds. I had to blow my nose many times a day, so I couldn't keep up with paper tissues. Once, the mucus was suctioned from my lungs in the hospital. That brought relief, but it was temporary. Six months ago, my wife told me that a friend of hers had heard about a salt room in Heemstede that would be good for asthma patients. Moreover, the first session was free, so what could happen to me? After consulting with my GP, who said, "It won't hurt to try," I attended the first session — just lying down and breathing for an hour. My wife asked me how it had been, and I answered that I was probably imagining it, because my nose wasn't blocked and my breathing sounded much better. But that couldn't be from just one time, could it? I was incredibly enthusiastic and subsequently went twice a week; I've now reduced that to once a week. The result is amazing, and I could never have dreamed of it. I was, in fact, about to ask my pulmonologist to suction the mucus again when the news about the salt room came. Normally, my tennis buddies know that I occasionally had to stop to cough up mucus during a match — and now not at all. They too are dumbfounded! I am incredibly happy with the result: the asthma isn't gone, but the annoying side effects are! — Jan van Rooyen, Lisse

    After a tip from school, I took my son (6) to a trial session in the salt room in Heemstede. The first experience was very pleasant, so I continued with more sessions. My son has sensitive lungs, and he ends up in the hospital quickly with a small virus. I feel that is more under control since the salt room. We now go once a week for almost half a year, and we haven't seen the hospital since. Personally, I think this works. In addition, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

    Had a very pleasant experience. As a kickboxer, it is important to have good fitness, and by doing this session twice a week for an hour, my fitness has significantly improved. It also works well against colds and other lung complaints. This is definitely recommended!

    After years of being dependent on nasal spray, thanks to regular visits to the salt room in Heemstede, I no longer need it to breathe freely. Halotherapy has truly made a big difference.

    Jowie – Therapy works and is reimbursed

    This really works. I’ve suffered from asthma my entire life and have always had to use various medications and inhalers for it, but I always continued to suffer from shortness of breath and stubborn mucus. When I was in my late fifties and it was actually getting worse, I started looking for alternatives and found HaloClinic in Heemstede, where the always friendly Ursi runs the place. For the past few years, I’ve been going there once every two weeks in the summer and weekly the rest of the year, with the result that fairly soon after I started, I no longer need to use medications and inhalers and no longer suffer from stubborn mucus. I feel reborn because of this, and I recommend that anyone who also suffers from this try it out — it helps. — Ton

    I have been to the salt room in Heemstede multiple times now. Due to Sjögren's Syndrome, I had extremely dry skin, and I also have COPD GOLD 4. Initially, I was quite skeptical and started with a trial session. But after just three sessions, I noticed a clear difference: my skin remained soft and calm, without flaking. That was reason enough for me to get a year-long subscription. Now I look forward to an hour of wonderful relaxation in the salt room every week, where I experience immediate benefits. The people behind HaloClinic are incredibly committed and kind. I recommend it to everyone — even if you don't have any complaints, it's a wonderful moment of relaxation.

    Great clinic! I've been coming here for a few months now with great pleasure and, above all, with the feeling that it really works well. Before I moved, I visited a salt room clinic in Amstelveen, but at HaloClinic in Heemstede, I clearly experience more benefit. In addition, they adhere excellently to hygiene and safety regulations here.

    Roel – Clearly more benefit than elsewhere

    I've had 17 sessions now, and what a difference! Much less redness and itching from my eczema, and most importantly, I'm incredibly happy that I no longer have sleepless nights. At first, I found it quite strange to sit in the salt room with clothes on, because I thought it wouldn't work then — but I was completely wrong. It really does help! I recommend it to everyone. A friendly reception every time. In one word: top!
