The list of benefits
for your health is extremely long. It is a natural and complete therapy that the entire body benefits from and simultaneously relaxes you mentally. People who float experience improvement or even full recovery of a wide variety of illnesses.
Ear, Nose and Throat Spectrum
- relaxation of the bronchial muscles and normalisation in breathing in:
- stimulates immune response in pharyngitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, common cold, otitis
- vestibular level: accidents, infections, internal ear inflammation, degraded hearing, diminishes dizziness and vertigo
- asthma with allergic connotations
- asthma induced by infections, emotional states, stress, toxic environment, smoking
Muscle and bone tissue
- improves the synthesis of collagen in fibrous tissues - tendons, ligaments and skin
- recommended in fibromyalgia, arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, inflammation, fractures
- accelerates the repair of muscle and bone tissue in accidents and post-operative recovery
- accelerates the healing process post-trauma, stretches the spine by realigning the vertebral discs
- eliminates chronic neck and backache, muscle cramps, that particularly affect the back, and leg muscles, that can even result in tetany crisis
- energy metabolism - reduces chronic fatigue, lethargy and muscle cramps
- metabolism of lipids, fatty acids and phospholipidic acid
- assists physical performance by reducing and eliminating the accumulation of lactic acid in muscle tissue
- increases the efficiency of sports training, by prior relaxation and subsequent rapid restoration after prolonged physical exercise in professional sports
Cardiac system
- normalises the contractile function of the heart muscle
- normalises serum cholesterol
- reduces angina pectoris (heart ache) from ischemic heart disease
- reduces and even eliminates cardiac arrhythmias
- essential role in cardiac oxygenation, in necrosis of myocardial tissue
- improves thermal regulation
- improves circulation by reducing cholesterol and the relaxation effect of the arteries
Removes toxins - kidney and liver
- normalises calcium absorption at the cellular level and reduces excess calcium deposits in kidney lithiasis
- antioxidant, alkaline detoxification at cellular level by removing existing toxins in tissues and organs
- improves and eliminates biliary colic, reduces liver toxicity and accelerates its regeneration
- blocks the absorption of heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides into tissues
- accelerates drainage of lymph, elimination of excess fluid and toxins from tissues
- helps in diuretic treatments
Reproductive system, menopause and PMS
- maintains a healthy functioning of the reproductive system
- hormonal balance for women who use contraceptives
- essential support in the calcium metabolism, increases bone density, prevents osteoporosis
- indicated in PMS - attenuates pelvic pain, head aches, breast aches, foot and hand edema, muscle and joint pain or constipation
- normalises insomnia and depression, sudden change in mood, irritability or anger
Pregnancy
- improves the quality of life during pregnancy: decreases cramps, edema, tension on the spine, reducing the risk of premature birth or abortion
- increases pain tolerance, helps relax the uterus and the healthy development of the fetus
- creates the opportunity for a deeper physical and emotional connection with the fetus
- stimulates stress reduction by supporting the muscular and nervous balance necessary for both the mother and the child, improving the reduction or even lack of postpartum depression
Cellular system and chronic diseases
- stabilizes and repairs DNA structure while maintaining membrane permeability and stability, essential in maintaining physiological cell balance - anti cancerous
- reduces the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy
- reduces oxidative stress by reducing free radical production
Diabetes
- decreases insulin resistance, lowers blood glucose, helps prevent complications
- the need for magnesium in major stages of insulin secretion and in glucose metabolism (neuropathy, retinopathy, renal impairment, hypertension)
Endocrine system
- balances the secretion of adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine of the adrenal glands
- hormonal restoration - in cases of hormonal disturbances due to stress
Digestive system
- mediates digestive processes and prevents problems such as: irritable colon, colic and abdominal bloating, constipation, colitis, gastro-enteritis
- relieves the discomfort and symptoms associated with hemorrhoids and other proctological diseases, helping in re-epithelization and regeneration of tissues
Immune system
- increases cell activity of the immune system: stimulates the immune system, virus removal
- shorter healing time for superficial skin wounds
Neurological system
- suppresses the sympathetic nervous system and activates the parasympathetic system, generating a response of relaxation, healing and revitalisation response
- important role in the serotonin synthesis by supporting positive emotions and mood
- eliminates mental dysfunctions - depression, panic attacks, stress, insomnia, anxiety, unjustified agitation, memory disorders, autism
- improves insomnia until extinction by adjusting the sleep-wake cycle, restoring synapses and nerve connections
- prevents strokes
Mental processes
- streamlines brain activity by minimizing sensory receptor stimuli
- REST concept – Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy
- improves power of concentration, the creative and analytical processes
- accelerates learning and memorization
Hygene
The water in our pools is much cleaner than any swimming pool you’ve ever entered.
We use mechanical filtration for micron particles, UV rays, and ozone generator to keep water at the highest level of cleanliness. And remember that Epsom salt is a natural disinfectant and is present in the water in a huge amount (about 500 kilograms of Epsom salt /tank).
Filtration
The filtration system is very advanced. After each float session, all the water is recirculated several times through double particle filters. The filtration system is able to filter water particles up to 25 microns.
Ozone
Ozone, or O3 is comprised of 3 oxygen atoms. It is unstable, thus releasing one of its atoms—which becomes a free radical (an atom with unpaired electrons, which seeks something to bond with). Anything unwanted in the water which this extra oxygen atom comes into contact with is quickly oxidized, and thus purified!
It has been found that ozone is 50 times more powerful then chlorine, while also killing bacteria 3,000 times faster. Ozone eliminates bacteria, mold and yeast, as well as organic material and viruses.
Ozone treatment requires no additional chemicals, leaves no odor, and reverts to pure oxygen once oxidation is completed, leaving no trace of it’s presence.
UV
The sun has an amazing ability to elevate our moods, provide the essential vitamin b 12, and when harnessed correcty, the power of its ultraviolet rays are no exception. Many of earth’s inhabitants, such as us, have an outer covering (skin) which allows us to tolerate a certain amount of the sun’s power; bacteria, viruses and molds, on the other hand, have a very low tolerance for ultraviolet rays.
UV works to purify by damaging cellular DNA - when anything undesirable in the tank meets these purifying rays, they are killed. UV treatment protects against viruses, molds and bacterias.
Salt
Another mode of disinfection is inherent in our float room in that the concentration of the salt water solution is approximately 25% salt. Salt is an extemerly hostile environment for any living organism. It has been shown in scientific literature that pathogenic microorganism cannot survive in concentrations higher than 10% salt. The types of organisms responsible for water‐borne illnesses in humans cannot survive in the high‐salt concentration solutions present in our float rooms.
Keep in mind
Waxing/Shaving
It is recommended that you do not shave or wax on the day of your floating session because Epsom salt can irritate the sensitive skin.
Coloured hair
If you coloured your hair recently, we recommend that you wait at least a week. For the benefit of your hair color and for the tanks, please wait until the water runs clear when you wash your hair before coming to float.
That time of the month
For a relaxing experience we recommend avoiding to float if it’s that time of the month.
Contact lenses
You most likely will prefer to float without them, so be sure to bring your case and solution.
Caffeine
Don’t get loaded on espresso, or any other caffeinated products, as it tends to keep you super jittery when trying to get your body ready for calm, quiet and relaxation.
We recommend
Use the provided ear plugs to prevent water getting in your ears.
Use the toilet before entering the float room to enjoy a relaxing, uninterrupted session. If you need to use the toilet, obviously you can get out of the float room and pause the session.
If you get water in your eyes, during the float session, it will sting a bit. Avoid touching your face after you enter the tank, and in any case just use the fresh water pump provided on the side of the tank to clean your eyes.
