A flotation chamber is a lightless, soundless tank filled with highly concentrated Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) water heated to skin temperature. Floatation, also known as sensory deprivation, is simply the act of relaxing in a floatation chamber; with all sights and sounds removed, and drifting into a meditative state that rejuvenates your mind and body.
The deep relaxation state the you enter when floating helps to reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels. Blood flow is stimulated and endorphins are released. Endorphins are chemicals in the brain that reduce feelings of pain and trigger positive feelings.
The extreme buoyancy that individuals experience when floating is essentially like experiencing anti-gravity. This allows those with joint or muscle pain much needed relief that they cannot get otherwise.
Are float tanks sanitary?
The interior of a float tank is exceptionally sanitary. The extremely high levels of Epsom salt dissolved in the water, raises the salinity to levels that are inhospitable to bacteria, including microbes and other pathogens.
