Floatation Therapy

​

The water in a sensory deprivation tank is heated to skin temperature and nearly saturated with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), providing buoyancy so you float more easily, and by eliminating all sensory stimulus allows you to 'lose your body' deactivating sympathetic nervous system, while stimulating the parasympathetic one. All this is proven by over fifty years of clinical research.

 

While floating your body absorbs magnesium and other vital minerals through the skin. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heartbeat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps adjust blood glucose levels. It aids in the production of energy and protein. 

 

The privacy of the tank also provides an ideal setting for assimilating the teachings of your bufo experience or deep introspective journeys with another entheogen we can provide you with. Consult with our receptionist for more information.

Benefits

1. Stress and Anxiety Reduction
Removing external stimuli allows the central nervous system to calm down, reducing cortisol (the stress hormone) levels and symptoms of anxiety.
 

2. Chronic Pain Management
The buoyancy of a float tank (high Epsom salt concentration) removes gravitational pressure on joints and muscles, allowing for deep physical release.
 

3. Enhanced Creativity and Problem-Solving
When external input stops, the brain's "default mode network" (DMN) becomes very active. This is the state associated with mind-wandering, imagination, and connecting disparate ideas.
 

4. Improved Athletic Recovery and Performance
The Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) in float tanks is absorbed through the skin, which can help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation.
 

5. Deepened Meditation and Mindfulness
For people who struggle with traditional seated meditation, the float tank provides a "shortcut." The lack of physical distractions makes it easier to observe thoughts without reaction.
