How Does It Work?
Water and Epsom Salts
The float tank is filled with a warm solution containing approximately 1,100 pounds of medical-grade Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). This creates a mixture that is about 51% water and 49% salt, allowing the body to float effortlessly.
Buoyancy
The high salt concentration makes the water denser than your body, allowing you to float effortlessly. This weightlessness sensation can reduce physical tension and stress.
Sensory Reduction
The tank is soundproof and can be made completely dark, with optional lights you can control from inside. This isolation from external stimuli creates a deeply calming environment that soothes the nervous system.
The Experience
1. Preparation
Before entering the tank, you’ll take a thorough shower to remove any oils, lotions, or hair products from your body.
2. Floating
You’ll lie back in the water, allowing your body to float effortlessly. You’ll wear earplugs to block out any residual sound.
3. Relaxation
As you float, your mind naturally slows down, allowing you to enter a deeply relaxed state known as “rest and digest.”
4. Post-Float
After your float session, you’ll shower to rinse off the salt and emerge feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
