Halotherapy and Asthma

Asthma bronchiale is a chronic disease that affects 5-10% of the Dutch population, more prevalent among children and young adults but also occurring in older adults. Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the lungs, which is persistent. This means there are always small inflammations present in the lungs. Asthma can cause various symptoms.

Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.

During an asthma attack, the muscle tissue in the airways contracts, narrowing the airways. In addition to muscle contraction, inflammation causes swelling in the middle layer of the lungs, and mucus production increases. This mucus can partially or completely block the airways.

Asthma attacks are typically triggered by certain factors. This could be a specific allergen or exposure to cigarette smoke, for example.

Treatment of Asthma in Salt Room

What else can be done for asthma?
Many people with asthma use medication, which is of course very beneficial and sometimes necessary. However, what many people may not know is that there are also natural methods to treat respiratory issues. The advantage of natural inhalation therapies is that they have no side effects, unlike medications that are not naturally occurring in the body.


Halotherapy is a wonderful natural method to treat asthma symptoms. Treatment in a salt room allows asthma patients to breathe more deeply. Improved breathing leads to better lung function, reduced breathlessness, and better sleep. Salt acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, kills bacteria and fungi, and helps to loosen trapped mucus.

Experience of Willemijn (29 years old) with Asthma

The Salt Room came into my life through word of mouth, and I was immediately enthusiastic about it. It also sounded logical. Upon starting my sessions in the salt room, I stopped taking my evening medication right away. A week later, I stopped using my inhaler in the afternoon, and currently, I only use it occasionally when necessary. I feel much more energetic, and even my partner confirms that he sees a clear improvement!

Experience of Wout about his son Abel with asthma (3 years old)

Since birth, Abel has faced many physical challenges: frequent respiratory infections, allergies, eczema, and poor sleep (which affected us as well). Because my wife isn't very keen on alternative medicine, I took Abel to the salt room myself. It was a very pleasant experience from the beginning. We received good guidance and everything was clearly explained. Miraculously, the first night after the salt room session, we all slept through the night! That gave us hope, including my wife. We started going twice a week, and each time we saw a bit of progress. The periods when Abel felt well lasted longer each time. Better sleep made him more lively during the day. He coughs less and didn't have any respiratory infections throughout the winter! My wife is convinced now too, and we both believe that the salt room is a tremendously powerful aid.
