What happens in the float tank?
-
Reduced Gravity
The float tank is filled with roughly ten inches of water, which is saturated with over 500kg of Epsom Salt. The extreme levels of salt makes the water buoyant, allowing your body to float effortlessly. The reduced gravity allows all tension to be relieved from the bones, joints and muscles.
-
Neutral Temperature
The temperature of the water is kept at around 35 degrees celsius - skin temperature. This means that as you float it becomes difficult for your body to distinguish between which body parts are touching the water. It gives the feeling that you are floating in air, making it easier for you to let go and fully relax.
-
Light and Sound Reduced
The float tanks and the rooms around are insulated, cutting you off from distracting sounds. If you decided to turn off the lights, you are left in darkness. Being cut off from light and sound, reduces stimuli and distraction allowing you to be truly alone with your thoughts and enter a deep state of relaxation.

The Benefits of Epsom Salt
Epsom salt is a naturally occurring mineral salt made up from magnesium sulphate. It has been used for centuries as a healing agent and pain reliever. Epsom Salt is good for general well being and can help boost your body and mind. Magnesium is crucial for the body to function, yet many adults are magnesium deficient. When you float in a bath with Epsom salts, magnesium gets into your body through your skin helping to restore your levels of magnesium.
Some benefits of bathing Epsom Salt include:
relaxing muscles and relieving pain and inflammation within the body. They can be especially beneficial after an intense work out.
smoother and softer skin. Epsom salts are great for exfolaiting and getting rid of dead skin cells.
reducing stress and anxiety. Magnesium increases serotonin production which boosts your mood.
stimulates detoxification pathways and helping reduce headaches/mirganes.
improved sleep.
