Study period at HaloClinic
Six months of research at HaloClinic
A researcher from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam joined our Salt Room for six months and followed twelve clients.
The group was a representative sample of the people who typically turn to HaloClinic Nederland for halotherapy. The twelve participants:
- 2COPD GOLD III
- 2COPD GOLD I
- 1COPD with COVID
- 1Pre-COPD
- 2Asthma
- 2Asthmatic bronchitis
- 1Recurrent pneumonia
- 1COVID, psoriasis & airway irritation
- 1Hay fever & allergies
Less medication and clear clinical improvements
The research shows that 9 out of 10 clients who underwent halotherapy in the Salt Room fully stopped their medication. The remaining clients significantly reduced their medication. All twelve participants reported clear clinical improvements in their health.
In their own words
Three study participants on their experience in the Salt Room.
"Right after my first session in the Salt Room the mucus came completely loose. The effect was immediately noticeable."
"My lung function was 42 at first, but when I came here it was suddenly 51."
"I really don't want to stop coming, because I feel so much healthier and fitter. Watch out — it's addictive!"
