Reduce stress/improve emotions

Floating can help relieve stress and improve emotions in two ways.

Firstly, the magnesium content in the floating fluid helps regulate the production of cortisol (your body's main stress hormone). Magnesium can also improve sleep quality, which will help alleviate overall stress.

Secondly, floating sensory deprivation helps to minimize the stimulation of external information on the brain's nerves, thereby relieving stress. Floating also triggers the release of endorphins and dopamine in the brain, giving you all these feeling good hormones!

Improve sleep quality/reduce chronic fatigue

Floating therapy aims to become a powerful tool for aiding sleep and reducing insomnia.

By floating, your brain has a natural ability to enter the theta state, making it easier to transition to the delta waves required for rapid eye movement sleep.

Some doctors believe that one hour of sleep in flotation therapy is equivalent to 4-8 hours of deep sleep. The natural calming effect of floating and soaking in magnesium will help you fall asleep better inside the floating cabin.

Pain management/reduction of inflammation

Floating therapy helps alleviate muscle pain by increasing blood flow to the brain, organs, and limbs.

The characteristics of floating therapy make it an excellent choice for treating bodily pain and helping the body recover from injuries and pain related illnesses. It has been proven that floating can alleviate symptoms of painful diseases such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendinitis, and bursitis.

Floating therapy can be a perfect complement to physical therapy, spinal massage therapy, or massage therapy as it helps reduce inflammation of joints and muscles.

Enhance creativity and mindfulness

Floating provides an ideal environment for mindfulness and meditation.

The floating cabin eliminates all physical and mental distractions, allowing you to be more focused. It also triggers a unique level of consciousness, promoting communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

When you float, your brain can maintain theta state waves when your body is awake and calm, which is usually only achieved during sleep. This mentality, combined with less interference, can allow you to fully absorb new information and think more clearly.

Musicians, writers, and creative performers reported that their creativity improved after floating. According to a study published in the Journal of Music and Medicine, floating enhances the technical skills of artists during jazz improvisation.
