About Halotherapy

Halotherapy was originally “discovered” in the 1800s in Eastern Europe when doctors realized that salt miners didn’t suffer nearly as often from respiratory and skin conditions as others in the communities. These doctors then began to “prescribe” visits to the salt mines and at some point, the miners even carved out separate areas for this original halotherapy.

Later entrepreneurs built machines to replicate this environment and modern halotherapy was born.

Shuswap Float & Wellness has the only Halotherapy Cabin in the Shuswap, Okanagan, and Thompson regions.

Salt therapy is a drug-free and completely natural therapy for treating respiratory and skin conditions.
 
Salt therapy has no side effects and is suitable for all ages. Salt therapy originated 200 years ago in the natural undergound salt mines in Eastern Europe.
 
Clinical studies have proven that inhaling purified salt-infused air (with its sterile and anti-inflammatory properties) works to loosen and clear mucus, and helps reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. This leads to a widening of the airways and removal of blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles. A clean respiratory system naturally results in higher oxygen intake, increased energy and an improved immune system.
