Floating therapy basically combines two well-known recovery techniques, Epsom salt soaking and meditation. Over the years, Epsom salt baths have been used to treat painful and painful bodies, while meditation has been used to heal the mind.

Floating therapy amplifies the benefits of Epsom salt bath and meditation. When someone enters the float room or water tank, their senses are deprived. Also known as sensory deprivation, because you are enclosed in a tank or isolation room without any outside interference. This includes light and sound. This sensory deprivation makes it easier for people to enter the state of meditation.

The water used is filled with a thousand pounds of Epsom salt [magnesium sulfate] in the pontoon. Use only a few inches of water to make the salt concentration very high. High salt concentrations allow the body to float without difficulty.

For many years, athletes have been immersed in Epsom salts to relieve muscle soreness and stiff joints. Floating in the isolation chamber only increases the effectiveness of this well-known technique, making it easier to get more benefits.
