Okanagan Valley, British Columbia- Spotted Lake
We know, we know…this healing spot isn’t in the US. BUT, it’s just a skip and a jump away! This fantastic healing spot is known to the First Nations People of the Osoyoos area as Kliluk, a sacred site that’s been used for healing for many centuries.
The shimmering, colorful lake is simply out of this world. It’s also overflowing with some of the highest amounts in the world of sodium sulfates, calcium, and magnesium sulfate.
Also, the lake even contains exceptionally high levels of eight other minerals, as well as small doses of four others, silver and titanium included. Each spot in the water is believed to have its own set of healing properties.
The grounds surrounding the lake was privately owned for 40 years. But in 2001, the government obtained it for the Okanagan Nation, protecting it from development.
When visiting, keep in mind that visitors are not allowed beyond the viewpoint out of respect for this hallowed area and the native communities who reside here. Still, the vantage point from the highway is nevertheless stunning.
