Flotation

You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body says the well-known quote from the satires of the antique Roman poet Juvenal, and there is certainly nothing wrong with praying for it.

Floatation therapy in our mussel-shaped floatation tank is, however, yet another way for you to actively promote the restoration of your mind and emotional well-being and also eliminate the effects of harmful stress.

Suspending yourself in body-warm water with a high concentration of dissolved Epsom salt to increase your body’s buoyancy in the mussel’s cozy private environment which is devoid of any external influence such as light, noise, gravity and touch enables you to experience a state of deep relaxation which can hardly be achieved by any other method.

 

Within a few minutes a floating person can actually reach a depth of relaxation only seen in deep meditation.

This deep relaxation leads to a release of accumulated muscle tension, lowers systolic blood pressure and slows down bodily functions such as heart rate and breath rate.

It also slows down the activity of the brain and in turn the mind: while the brains conscious/thinking /logical left section enters into a state of deep rest, the deeper levels of the feeling/intuitive right section of the brain become accessible.

This promotes a sense of balance and well-being in ones everyday life and guarantees a better state of physical, mental and emotional health.

By causing a release of endorphins, our body’s own happiness-chemicals which also have pain-killing properties, floating does not only provide relief in conditions associated with depression and chronic pain including muscular-skeletal disorders and even cancer but also provides a natural boost to the immune system.

Last, but not least ,floating can even assist in overcoming addictions like alcoholism, smoking, caffeine and drug addiction, as deep relaxation does not only bring about a release of anxiety and a better frame of mind, but naturally produces a similar sense of pain relief and well-being as an addict strives to artificially achieve by substance abuse.

The described health benefits of floating are additionally complemented and enhanced through the benefits of the Epsom salt dissolved in the water your body is suspended in.

The scientific name of Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, which makes clear that it consists of the elements magnesium and sulfate.

Both of these elements have a wide array of health benefits and are readily absorbed through the skin.

They can make their way to our bloodstream in as little as 2 to 15 minutes.

Magnesium, the main component of Epsom salt, plays important roles in more functions and systems of the body than any other mineral which include:

1. Regulation of the activity of 325 enzymes
2. Prevention of heart disease and strokes by lowering blood pressure, protecting the elasticity of arteries ,preventing blood clots and reducing the risk of heart attacks
3. Proper function of muscles and nerves
4. Increase of the effectiveness of insulin, helping to lower the risk or severity of diabetes
5. Reduction of inflammation and pain relief, making it beneficial in the treatment of sore muscles, bronchial asthma, migraine headaches and fibromyalgia (a musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder)
6. Improvement of oxygen use
7. Stress relief and improvement of sleep and concentration

Sulfates provide benefits related to:

• Formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and the muslin proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract;

• Detoxification of the body’s residue of medicines and environmental toxins

• Stimulation of the pancreas to create digestive enzymes

• Improvement of the absorption of nutrients;

• Prevention and alleviation of migraine headaches
