MR. GLORIE (67 YEARS OLD) FROM LIMMEN

Since I started using the salt room, my symptoms have been under control, and my health has improved. I no longer have irritable lungs and catch colds less frequently. I also no longer suffer from nasal polyps that required prolonged treatment with nasal spray.

For the past six months, I have also been inhaling magnesium to combat the tinnitus that I have had for 40 years. I don't expect it to disappear in a year, but there has been significant progress. The loudest noises are gone. There is still some ringing in my ear, but it is less bothersome and more in the background.

I also notice that my muscle strength has increased due to the magnesium and that I am in better condition.

KLAZIEN VAN HEIJSTER (66 YEARS OLD) FROM GROET

"My symptoms started with losing my voice, followed by severe coughing. My head was congested, and my ears were blocked; no matter how much I yawned, my ears wouldn't pop open.

During a yoga class, someone suggested I try the salt room. I then looked up more information online and discovered that there is a salt room in Schagen.
During my first session in the salt room, I already noticed that mucus was loosening!"
Meanwhile, Mrs. Van Heijster had also visited the ENT specialist, who diagnosed her with rhinitis and easily irritated nasal membranes but unfortunately said there was nothing they could do for her. Fortunately, she has had tremendous benefit from salt therapy; "After about 30 sessions, my sinuses were almost free of mucus! I had stopped the salt therapy for a while but started coughing again. I then did a few more sessions in the salt room and, fortunately, noticed a positive effect again right away."

Mrs. Schenk (59 years old) from Den Helder

"Since childhood, I have suffered from chronic sinusitis and asthmatic bronchitis, constantly struggling with my airways.
About two years ago, I received a tip to try Halotherapy. Since my ENT specialist couldn't do anything more for me, I decided to try the therapy, and it turned out to be invaluable!
Since I started two years ago, my symptoms have significantly decreased; after visiting the salt room, I can breathe more easily through my nose, I need fewer inhalers (I used to need 2 puffs a day, now I'm down to 1 puff a day), and I recover more quickly from colds or respiratory infections. Occasionally, I also do a session in the magnesium cabin after the salt room session, and I rinse with salt water at home; this has a beneficial effect on my symptoms."

Annet Boskamp (65 years old) from Heerhugowaard

Mrs. Boskamp came to Halomedics with breathing difficulties and sinus issues. "Besides my breathing difficulties, I also suffered a lot from my sinuses, which filled up quickly; this has always been a weak spot for me. I went to my GP with my breathing problems and had a lung function test; I was told I had the lungs of an 80-year-old and was prescribed Ventolin."

Mrs. Boskamp then searched the internet for ways to relieve her symptoms and found Halomedics.
"In the beginning, it took some getting used to the sessions as I have trouble sitting still, so I brought a book to pass the time. However, I quickly noticed that I could relax wonderfully during a session, and the salt room became a nice moment of rest."
After four sessions in the salt room, Mrs. Boskamp began to notice a change; "I felt that my head was less heavy. After about 8 sessions, I noticed that the typical 'crackling' in my head was gone, and I experienced more space in my sinuses and airways."
Later, Mrs. Boskamp started combining salt therapy with Pilates, which gave her even more relief from her breathing problems and improved her airflow.

Petra Boltendal, 59 years old, from Purmerend

Mrs. Boltendal from Purmerend had heard about Halotherapy before she saw our advertisement in the Sunday newspaper: "I was at a holiday park in the Achterhoek some time ago and came across a brochure about Halotherapy just across the border in Germany. I was already intrigued then, and when I read that a salt room had opened nearby in Hoorn, I made an appointment for a trial session."
Mrs. Boltendal suffers from various complaints, including shortness of breath, high blood pressure, and tinnitus, but her diabetes and hip pain due to osteoarthritis led her to decide to undergo both Halo- and magnesium therapy.
After just three sessions, she noticed results: "I felt the pain in my hip decrease, and in combination with the physiotherapy I also do, I even became pain-free. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, I had to skip four weeks of both physiotherapy and Halo- and magnesium therapy, and the pain unfortunately returned."
She has since resumed the sessions: "I haven't done enough sessions yet to say that the therapy helps with, for example, my shortness of breath, but given the earlier results I experienced, I am firmly convinced that magnesium therapy will again help me tackle the pain in my hip. My goal is to tear up the dance floor at my son Freek and daughter-in-law Shamilla's wedding on July 20, 2019!"
