Stress relief is one of the major benefits of floating in a sensory relaxed environment in a super saturated bath of epsom salts that has been heated to body temperature. When the body and mind become negatively stressed, neurochemicals such as Cortisol, ACTH, and epinephrine are released and become toxic. High levels of these chemicals are directly linked to stress and stress related illnesses. Stress can manifest itself in the body in many different ways including heart disease, obesity, headaches, anxiety/depression, gastrointestinal issues and more. Studies show that floatation therapy, by reducing all sources of incoming stimuli, is able to lower the levels of these neurochemicals. Furthermore, while the body rids itself of the negative stress, positive neurochemicals such as endorphins are released, which is one of the body’s natural ways to relieve pain and stress. Float therapy is a simple, effective way to invest in your own health and happiness.
