Respiratory Benefits of Halotherapy
Halotherapy is best known for its positive impact on the respiratory system. The salt’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help cleanse the airways, reduce congestion, and support clearer breathing. It’s particularly helpful for those with conditions like asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, hay fever, and general allergies.
By targeting bacteria, reducing inflammation, and loosening mucus, halotherapy can reduce the frequency of respiratory flare-ups and improve overall lung function. It may also offer relief for snoring and mild symptoms of sleep apnea by helping to open inflamed or congested airways.
This treatment is offered as an optional add-on to your infrared sauna session (with sauna temperature capped at 60°C), or can be enjoyed as a standalone service. The process is entirely passive, you simply sit, breathe, and let the salt do its work.
Step into the power of cold with our Ice Bath / Cold Plunge service, designed to invigorate your body and awaken your senses. This ancient practice, now backed by modern science, involves full-body immersion in cold water, typically between 10°C and 15°C, for short durations. The shock of the cold triggers a cascade of beneficial physiological responses, helping you feel more alert, grounded, and energised.

Floatation Therapy has been called the closest thing to drifting in outer space that you can experience on the planet. It is the ultimate tool to reduce stress, relax, recover and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit. Also known as Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST), external sensory stimuli from sight, sound and touch is reduced whilst you float in a specialised floatation pod, suspended effortlessly in 10” of a super-saturated mineral rich solution containing 1/2 tonne of Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulphate), Dead Sea salts and water, which is heated to relaxed skin temperature (35.0C). So, within a few minutes of floating you actually lose awareness of where you body ends and the water begins. The buoyancy of the water effectively creates a zero gravity environment, reducing the pressure on your whole muscular skeletal system. This is particularly beneficial for anyone suffering body aches and pains.
Once you close the pop-up lid of the float pod and turn off the light inside the pod (both of which you have total control), light and sound stimuli are eliminated. For one hour, the outside world is gone and your mind is free from distraction. Floating is all about what you won’t be doing - you won’t be fighting gravity and you won’t be processing external stimuli and eventually you get to the point where you literally completely relax. In this unique setting of reduced environmental stimulation, profound and measurable changes can occur within the body and the mind.
There has been a lot of clinical research to support the numerous benefits of Floatation Therapy. Floating provides a wonderful, weightless rest during pregnancy; a time efficient and cost effective way to relieve stress, anxiety & fatigue; lowers blood pressure & increases circulation; reduces or eliminates pain from tight, sore or tired muscles, provide faster recovery & rehabilitation from injuries, relieve sleep disorders and jet lag; is a natural depression and pain relief (even the chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia and arthritis), and enhanced creativity and visualization. Many professional athletes use floating for visualization to improve performance as well as accelerating muscle recovery.
Cost?
It is $80 for a 90 min float session, a 2 hour session is $120, and a 2 1/2 hour session is $150. All session times allow for a briefing and showering pre and post float. As an optional extra, Oxygen Therapy is also available whilst you float for an additional $20. Gift vouchers are available for all session lengths.
Bookings can be made online via our website (www.floatation.co.nz), or by phoning us on 0212076400. Please note sessions cancelled less than 24 hours notice may attract a cancellation fee.
