Science accepts that most of today's endemic lifestyle diseases are stress-related. And so, it has become increasingly important to relieve
stress as a way of combatting illness and restoring health.
Whilst disease model thinking often seeks to prescribe medication to combat stress-related symptoms, it is proven to be only 20% effective.
Flotation, on the other hand, has proven to be near 70% effective, with patients reaping a variety of other benefits such as improvements to
sleep (65%), mental concentration (77%), energy levels (46%), interpersonal relationships (54%), productivity at work (35%), ability to cope
with pain (88%), ability to cope with stress (92%) and feelings of well0being (65%).
Flotation allows the body to achieve a state of total relaxation - much deeper and richer than normal sleep - akin to the meditative 'theta'
state achieved by Zen monks. In a zero gravity environment, muscles are able to fully relax - releasing residual muscle tension - and, with a
reduced workload on the heart and cardiovascular system, blood pressure and heart rate are reset to a healthy level. Blood vessels and
capillaries dilate - improving the flow of nutrients and oxygen to cells, which in turn promotes healthy tissue growth. Flotation also
cleanses the body of harmful hormones from the bloodstream and releases endorphins - providing immediate relief from chronic pain and
fatigue which is manifested in a state of positivity, confidence and empowerment post-flotation.
Crucially, the Nutrition Diagnostics float tank is chemical free and has detoxifying properties. The concentrated epsom salt solution not
only creates the sensation of weightlessness, but increases sulfate and magnesium levels in the body which aid in flushing toxins.
