Relax with Flotation
A great way to relax from day to day stresses is with a flotation treatment, which can be found at most spas. To help you decide which one you would like I have described the two below.
Flotation treatments come in two forms; wet and dry. The body is floated or is supported to induce mental and physical relaxation.
Flotation – wet is where the flotation facility is a bath or a pool, usually capsule shaped and flotation is from the high concentration of Epsom salts, which enable the body to seem weightless. Due to the high salt content the skin does not wrinkle even over a long period of time. This is because the skin does no loose body salts to the water. Lighting and music is adjusted to suit you so that you can relax. The water is set at body temperature.
Flotation – dry is slightly different as you lay on a warmed tank of water. There is no contact with the water. You can have specific therapeutic skin care products applied to their skin to nourish or detoxify and purify, which is then wrapped to maintain heat and allow the products to absorb. Sometimes a head and scalp massage is offered to help you to relax.
The benefits of flotation are:
Stress is reduced and blood pressure lowered as the body is at meditating state.
Skin condition is improved as circulation is increased. In dry flotation the products can help to improve skin condition.
Water supports the body so pressure is taken off any injured area like the back.
As blood circulation is improved between all joints the treatment helps Rheumatic conditions and relieve muscle tension.
In wet flotation slower brain wave patterns occur allowing the body to relax.
Increases sense of well being as it reduces blood pressure and heart rate. It also can help to reduce Cortisol levels (stress related), which cause tension, irritability and anxiety and relieve depression. It also helps the body to produce beta-endorphins, which have a soothing effect.
It can help restore balance and harmony in the body by removing all external stimuli, which enables the body to focus all its energies on restoring balance and harmony.
If you like the sound of this kind of treatment why not go and try for yourself!
