A blocked nose. Pressure around your eyes and forehead. Headaches. Mucus that won't clear. And sometimes weeks of feeling like your head is “full”.
And just when things finally seem to improve, it starts again.
Nasal spray. Steam inhalation. Nasal rinses. Perhaps antibiotics.
But when the cause remains in your inflamed, blocked airways, the symptoms keep coming back.
At HaloClinic, we take a different approach: professional dry salt inhalation. For 60 minutes, a professional halogenerator disperses microscopically fine, dry particles of medicinal (pharmaceutical-grade) salt throughout the salt room.
You sit. You breathe. The salt does its work.

What do you really want to achieve?
People don't come to HaloClinic because they're interested in their “sinuses”. They want to:
- breathe through their nose again
- stop feeling pressure above their eyes
- wake up without a headache
- clear their mucus
- stop getting blocked up again every few weeks
- sleep normally again
- stop having to rely on sprays and other remedies again and again
Why do sinus symptoms keep coming back?
Your nose, sinuses and frontal sinuses are connected. When the mucous membranes become inflamed and swollen:
- the openings narrow
- mucus has more difficulty draining
- pressure builds
- bacteria have more opportunity to multiply
- the inflammation persists
That's why temporarily unblocking your nose isn't always enough.
The mucus needs to clear and the inflamed airways need to settle.
How does the salt reach your nose and airways?
A professional halogenerator processes medicinal (pharmaceutical-grade) salt into microscopically fine, dry salt particles. These are dispersed throughout the salt room in a controlled way for the entire session.
As you breathe normally, they enter your respiratory system through your nose, throat, sinuses and upper airways.
- No mask
- No mouthpiece
- No special breathing exercises
- Just breathe normally
Benefits for sinusitis and frontal sinusitis
- Kills bacteria
- Reduces inflammation, which also reduces damage to the airways
- Removes mucus from the lungs, reducing the risk of further inflammation
- Lowers IgE levels (the allergy antibody), restoring the immune system
- Reduces the need for inhalers and antibiotics
- Reduces hospital admissions and recurring symptoms
- Extends remission periods
- Strengthens the lungs
- Improves quality of life
Before and after halotherapy - resolves the cause of sinusitis
Why dry salt inhalation is different from a nasal spray
A nasal spray is applied locally. Steam inhalation brings moist air into your nose and throat. A salt lamp does not produce a therapeutic dry salt aerosol.
At HaloClinic, a professional halogenerator uses medicinal (pharmaceutical-grade) salt to disperse microscopically fine, dry salt particles throughout the treatment room.
That's professional halotherapy.
So treatment doesn't stop at a temporary feeling of an “unblocked nose”. The aim is to:
- loosen mucus
- cleanse the airways
- reduce inflammation
- clear the passages
“I get this every year”
Over time, many people accept that their sinuses will flare up again every autumn or winter. A cold. A blocked nose. Pressure. Headaches. Another few weeks of poor sleep.
But recurring symptoms are exactly why we look beyond a single session at HaloClinic.
A course matters more than one visit.
Real experiences. Not theory.
“I've been coming here for many years. As a result, I no longer need medication for frontal sinusitis, sinusitis or respiratory infections.”
What do clients notice?
Clients write about:
- breathing more freely through their nose
- less facial pressure
- fewer headaches
- mucus loosening more easily
- less recurring congestion
- better sleep
- more energy
Allergies can keep irritating the same system
For some people, hay fever or other allergies occur alongside recurring nasal and sinus problems. That's why IgE is also relevant.
IgE stands for immunoglobulin E. This antibody plays an important role in allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels are seen in allergic reactions, among other conditions.
Read more about hay fever and allergies. Do you also have asthma, a cough or COPD? Dry salt inhalation helps keep your airways clean in these cases too.
Salt and airway recovery are not a new combination
The link between salt and health goes back further than you think. As early as 1830, Polish physician Dr Feliks Boczkowski discovered that salt miners almost never suffered from breathing problems.
Modern salt room technology brings this principle into a controlled treatment room. Throughout the session, a professional halogenerator produces a dry aerosol of microscopically fine particles of medicinal (pharmaceutical-grade) salt.

What does research say?
Nasal rinses for nasal and sinus symptoms
What was studied? A broad review of saline rinses for nasal congestion, sinusitis, allergic nasal symptoms and mucus.
What was found? Salt helps remove mucus, allergens, crusts and irritants from the nose and sinuses.
Read the studyChronic sinusitis and topical treatment
What was studied? Topical treatments for chronic sinusitis after sinus surgery.
What was found? The importance of addressing inflammation and mucus in the sinuses on an ongoing basis.

Research at HaloClinic Nederland
A researcher from VU Amsterdam followed 12 HaloClinic clients.
clients followed
used medication
stopped completely
reduced medication use
reported improvement
The group studied reported, among other things:
- less coughing
- less shortness of breath
- easier breathing
- less mucus
- fewer colds
These are the results for the group of 12 participants with various respiratory symptoms, not a separate sinus study.
How many sessions?
One session gives you an introduction. For recurring symptoms, we use a course of sessions.
For sinus and frontal sinus symptoms, start with 2–3× per week. The initial course is approx. 15–20 sessions. After that: As needed.

Frequently asked questions about sinusitis and halotherapy
Does halotherapy help with sinusitis and frontal sinusitis?
Yes. In our 15 years, we've helped at least 400 clients with sinus and frontal sinus symptoms. Dry salt inhalation loosens mucus, cleanses the airways and reduces inflammation. Read their stories on the client experiences page.
How is it different from a nasal spray or steam inhalation?
A nasal spray acts locally, while steam inhalation brings moist air into your nose and throat. With professional dry salt inhalation, you spend 60 minutes breathing in microscopically fine, dry particles of medicinal (pharmaceutical-grade) salt, which reach your airways through your nose, throat and sinuses.
Do I need a mask or mouthpiece?
No. You sit in a comfortable chair and breathe normally.
How many sessions are needed for sinusitis?
According to our treatment guide, you start with 2–3× per week, with an initial course of approx. 15–20 sessions. View the treatment guide.
What were the results of the VU study?
In the group of 12 clients studied, 9 of the 10 medication users stopped their medication completely, and all 12 reported improvement. Read the full study.
Can I try it for free first?
Yes. Your first 60-minute session is free, with no obligation, in Zaandam or Heemstede.
How much longer do you want to live with a head that keeps feeling “full”?
When blocked sinuses, mucus, pressure and headaches keep returning, waiting yet again for them to go away on their own isn't a new approach.
Try something different. 60 minutes of professional dry salt inhalation. First session €0.
