Floatation is a free floating of the body on the water surface in floating tanks filled with water and Epsom salt, providing adequate buoyancy. The buoyancy created effectively removes the effects of gravity on the body, and brings the individual close to an experience of total weightlessness. Unless you are an astronaut, this is the only situation you will encounter where your body is free from the harmful forces of gravity. A huge amount of brain-power is used every second in order to deal with the strain that gravity places on one’s body but now floating weightlessly your body is perfectly supported by a cushion of silky body
temperature liquid. The body temperature of the water means that once you are settled in the tank, it is virtually impossible to distinguish between parts of the body that are in contact with the water and those that aren’t. The body drifts in conditions of complete sensory isolation from external stimuli. Sounds, images, touch, the force of gravity disappear... Freed from all sensation of gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound (which together account for 90% of normal neuro-muscular activity), you conserve and redirect vast amounts of natural physical and mental energy. The ultra-deep relaxation of floating “resets” the body’s hormonal and metabolic balance, accelerating recovery from the effects of stress, illness, injury or strenuous exercise. With no commands needing to be sent out, the logical side of the brain is rendered redundant, and its activity slows down until it synchronises with the creative side. This leaves the individual in a dreamlike state, akin to the thoughts experienced just before you go to sleep. In this state, the brain releases vast amounts of endorphins. While the state of relaxation may be deep and profound, the individual’s brain stays dreamily alert. The brain gradually shifts from its usual waking beta state to generate deep alpha, theta or even delta waves, the state-of-mind that Buddhist monks try to reach through hours of meditation and years of training. You can achieve this in a matter of minutes just by lying back into the silky warm sea of bliss that is the floatation experience! Don't be misled by the word 'salt': there is big difference between the salt you season your food and the Epson Salt. In fact, they're totally different mineral compounds. Epsom salt is a mineral compound of magnesium and MgSO4 sulphate. It was first discovered in England in the 17th century during a drought. A local cowherd had stopped with his cattle on Epsom common at a pool of water that the cows were refusing to drink from. The water had mostly evaporated, leaving behind a salt that was extremely bitter in taste. Epsom became a popular destination with visitors with a range of health conditions swigging pints of Epsomite dissolved in water. Scientists eventually found Epsom salt to have a whole range of health benefits. Thanks to the main ingredient, magnesium, it reduces inflammation, flashes out toxins, improve skin, reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes, improves the use of oxygen in cells, reduces the risk of vascular diseases, has a positive effect on the immune system, joint pain and muscle cramps and regulates the action of over 300 enzymes. In turn, sulphates facilitate the cellular absorption of nutrients, stimulate the digestive functions of the pancreas, help detoxify the body and alleviate headaches and migraines. Studies have shown that magnesium and sulphate are easily absorbed through the skin, so an Epsom salt bath is the perfect way to enrich your body with these two ingredients.

When you float, your brain produces lower wave patterns, specifically Theta waves, which are normally experienced during deep meditation. Your brain switches off 'fight or flight' mode and switches on the parasympathetic nervous system, known as 'rest and digest' mode. Cortisol and adrenalin levels get reduced, while endorphins increase. The more you float, the stronger your parasympathetic nervous system gets, and which helps you to stay calm in nervous situations.

Regular float sessions essentially regulate your nervous system and train the ‘endorphin muscle’, rewiring the brain to secrete endorphins more frequently, causing a more consistent state of happiness and relaxation, and sustained levels of positive energy.

Due to these benefits, floating is effectively utilized in treating anxiety, depression and various addictions, such as smoking and alcohol dependency.

This boost happened because:

☝️ Increased plasma volume: Plasma is the liquid part of your blood. When plasma volume goes up, your blood becomes more diluted and flows more easily. This means your heart can pump more blood with each beat (higher stroke volume), improving overall blood circulation.

✌️ Increased red blood cell count: Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to your muscles. More red blood cells mean more oxygen can be delivered to muscles during exercise.

But before you ask: “What about women?” 👀

The reason this stat only applies to men is simple — they were the only ones studied. Women may experience similar (or even better!) results, but hormonal differences and heat tolerance vary throughout the menstrual cycle, and more research is needed.

So while we know it works for men… the full picture for women is still unfolding 🏃‍♀️
