Halotherapy for eczema
Eczema can cause intense itching, dry skin, red patches, flakes and constant irritation. Many people with eczema have tried creams, hormone ointments and treatments for years without lasting results.
At HaloClinic Nederland many visitors experience that halotherapy helps the skin feel calmer, cleaner and more comfortable.
HaloClinic Nederland has been among the first professional salt rooms in the Netherlands since 2011 and has been welcoming visitors with skin and airway complaints for more than 15 years.

How can halotherapy help with eczema?
Halotherapy is a natural therapy in which microscopically fine dry salt particles are dispersed through the salt room by a professional halogenerator.
In the salt rooms of HaloClinic Nederland a controlled salt microclimate is created that many visitors experience as pleasant for skin and airways.
Many visitors with eczema experience that halotherapy can help to:
- Make the skin feel calmer
- Reduce itching
- Support dry skin
- Cleanse the skin more thoroughly
- Reduce flaking
- Improve skin condition
- Promote relaxation
During a halotherapy session you simply sit in the salt room fully dressed. The action of the salt does not depend solely on direct skin contact. The microscopically fine dry salt particles are inhaled and can support the body from within through the airways. This means halotherapy for eczema can contribute to less itching, less irritation, calmer skin and natural recovery from within.
Salt also has a naturally cleansing and hydrating effect. It helps to calm the skin while the body is supported through the breath. This makes halotherapy for eczema a natural approach that reaches beyond the surface of the skin.
The first improvement our clients notice is that the itching disappears. Only then does the skin's recovery process really get under way.
Many visitors also report that their skin feels less sensitive after several sessions in the salt room.
Halotherapie en het immuunsysteem
Veel klachten waarbij halotherapie ondersteuning kan bieden — van astma, hooikoorts en COPD tot eczeem en psoriasis — hebben één gemeenschappelijke noemer: een overactief of ontregeld immuunsysteem. Het lichaam reageert dan te heftig op prikkels zoals pollen, huisstofmijt, virussen of stressfactoren, met ontstekingen in de luchtwegen of de huid tot gevolg.
Halotherapie helpt het immuunsysteem om rustiger en beter gereguleerd te reageren. De ingeademde droge zoutdeeltjes reinigen de luchtwegen, verminderen prikkels, helpen slijm af te voeren en helpen overmatige immuunreacties tot rust te brengen. Daardoor draagt halotherapie bij aan herstel bij luchtwegklachten én huidklachten zoals eczeem en psoriasis.
