    Back to overview

    Perhaps you have spent years trying creams, steroid ointments, light therapy or other treatments.

    Yet the psoriasis keeps 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.

    Greet: “My skin has stayed clear ever since”

    Greet — a HaloClinic Nederland visitor with experience of psoriasis

    “In 2014, I developed severe psoriasis symptoms. My GP, dermatologist, steroid ointments and light therapy all failed to provide lasting relief. The psoriasis kept coming back, and I was becoming desperate.

    I discovered HaloClinic Nederland through a newspaper article and decided to try halotherapy. After just a few weeks, I saw a clear difference. I have now been coming to the salt room weekly for years, and my skin has stayed clear ever since.”

    You apply cream where you see psoriasis

    Psoriasis is visible on the outside. So it seems logical to treat only the outside.

    Cream. Ointment. Yet another ointment. But while you treat patch 1, it comes back on patch 2.

    At HaloClinic, we do something different.

    We have you breathe in the salt

    A professional halogenerator processes medicinal (pharmaceutical-grade) salt into microscopically fine, dry salt particles. These are dispersed throughout the salt room during the session and inhaled.

    You do not need to expose your skin. You keep your regular clothes on.

    What do clients with psoriasis notice?

    • Less itching
    • Less flaking
    • Calmer skin
    • Less redness
    • Less irritation
    • Better sleep as itching decreases
    • Longer periods without flare-ups
    • Improved skin condition

    What do we often hear first? The itching decreases.

    Less itching means less scratching. Less scratching means less skin damage. And that gives the skin a chance to rest and recover.

    “But psoriasis is on my skin. Why do I need to inhale salt?”

    Because HaloClinic looks beyond the places where psoriasis is visible.

    Psoriasis is linked to inflammatory processes and the immune system.

    Halotherapy acts precisely on what causes and sustains these processes.

    And it does not just work on the outside. The fine salt particles also hydrate the skin from within — starting in the deeper skin layers, rather than just a layer of cream on top.

    During halotherapy, microscopically fine, dry salt particles are taken in through breathing. That is why you do not need to sit in a salt room with your skin exposed at HaloClinic.

    It is professional dry salt inhalation — not just salt against your skin.

    Salt and skin recovery are not a new combination

    The connection between salt and health goes back further than you think. As early as 1830, Polish physician Dr. Feliks Boczkowski discovered that salt miners hardly ever suffered from respiratory problems.

    Modern halotherapy recreates the effects of that salt mine microclimate: a professional halogenerator disperses dry salt aerosol throughout the salt room.

    Salt has also long been a subject of skin research. A few examples from HaloClinic's scientific library:

    Dead Sea salt and the skin

    What was studied? Magnesium-rich Dead Sea salt for dry and atopic skin.

    What was found? Better hydration, less roughness, less redness and an improved skin barrier.

    Read the study

    Salt therapy for skin conditions

    What was studied? Natural salt environments for skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

    What was found? Applications in skin recovery through the combination of microclimate, salt particles and air ions.

    Read the study

    Natural potassium salts for skin and airways

    What was studied? Treatment rooms with natural potassium salts from the Western Urals.

    What was found? Salt aerosol, microclimate and air ions combined, with applications for skin and respiratory conditions.

    Read the study

    Want to know more? Read the science behind halotherapy and the VU Amsterdam research at HaloClinic. Dry salt inhalation also works from within for eczema and acne.

    What does a psoriasis treatment plan look like?

    One session introduces you to it. A series gives your body time.

    For psoriasis, you start with 2–3× per week. The initial course is approx. 15–20 sessions. After that: Maintenance depending on the skin.

    Dode Zee-zout bij droge huid en eczeem

    Ehrhardt Proksch, Hans-Peter Nissen, Markus Bremgartner, Colin Urquhart — International Journal of Dermatology

    De studie onderzocht baden in een magnesiumrijke Dode Zee-zoutoplossing bij mensen met een droge, atopische huid. Eén onderarm werd behandeld met 5% Dode Zee-zoutoplossing en de andere met kraanwater. Na meerdere weken werd betere hydratatie, minder ruwheid en minder roodheid gezien. Bij deelnemers met een verzwakte huidbarrière verbeterde ook de barrièrefunctie. Het effect werd vooral gekoppeld aan magnesium.

    De publicatie beschrijft natuurlijke kaliumzoutomgevingen en mogelijke toepassingen bij huid- en luchtwegklachten. De auteurs koppelen deze omgevingen aan een combinatie van microklimaat, zoutdeeltjes, luchtionen en minerale eigenschappen. Voor de huid worden toepassingen genoemd zoals atopische dermatitis, psoriasis en huidherstel. Het artikel plaatst zouttherapie daarmee in een bredere context dan alleen luchtwegen.

    Natuurlijke kaliumzouten bij huid en luchtwegen

    De studie bespreekt behandelruimtes waarin natuurlijke sylviniet- en kaliumzouten uit de Westelijke Oeral zijn verwerkt. De onderzoekers keken naar microklimaat, luchtkwaliteit, zoutdeeltjes en mogelijke toepassingen bij huidklachten, luchtwegklachten en herstel. De publicatie beschrijft dat kaliumzoutomgevingen verschillende factoren combineren: zoutaerosolen, microklimaat, luchtionen en minerale eigenschappen. Toepassingen worden onder andere gekoppeld aan atopische dermatitis en psoriasis.
