Floating is amazingly beneficial for a myriad of problems including:

As well as assisting healing, floating promotes general well-being and self-improvement:
- Epsom salts leave skin feeling super soft
- Promotes accelerated effective learning, e.g. languages
- Perfect environment to listen to self-confidence or weight loss suggestion CDs
- Inspires creativity
- Improves athletic performance - regularly used by the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Carl Lewis used a float tank during preparation for his gold medal long jump at the 1988 Seoul Olympics
Floatation therapy achieves such wide ranging effects by inducing a state of deep relaxation which harnesses the natural recuperative powers of the body to:
- Improve cardiovascular efficiency to stimulate blood flow
- Reduce the heart rate and blood pressure
- Strengthen the immune system
- Reset the body's hormonal and metabolic balances
- Release the body's natural painkillers - beta-endorphins
Floatation therapy is such a simple idea that the range of benefits may seem too good to be true. Just remember the age old proverb "a good night's sleep can cure many ills” - a good float will do the same, and more.
