Embedded with some 3.5 million Swarovski crystals, the Sparkling Hill Resort in the Okanagan Region of BC is a jewel in itself. It offers traditional European wellness treatments in the glorious natural setting afforded by views of Lake Okanagan and the Monashee Mountains. Some treatments, such as the Cold Sauna, are extremely high tech, and the one at this resort is the only one of its kind in North America. Some of the benefits of the cold sauna are improved circulation and pain relief, especially after a series of treatments. Bea Broda experiences the cold sauna for herself, a treatment that involves staying in the freezing cold chamber for a full three minutes.
