What is Dead Sea Float Therapy?

Dead Sea Float Therapy, also known as sensory deprivation or isolation tank therapy, involves floating effortlessly in a specially designed floatation pod filled with a buoyant solution composed of Epsom salts and purified water. This sensory deprivation therapy helps eliminate external distractions, allowing you to achieve true focus and clarity as the weightlessness and sensory isolation create an environment of profound relaxation and rejuvenation. Enter a monastery of deep relaxation and a mental reset in our Dead Sea float pod, enriched with magnesium salts. The high concentration of magnesium relaxes muscles, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and centered. This can be paired perfectly with a massage or can be thoroughly enjoyed by itself.

What to expect During your Dead Sea Float Therapy Session:

Your journey begins in a private pod filled with 1,000 pounds of medical-grade Epsom salt, heated to body temperature to create a soothing sensation of weightlessness. You have the option to keep the lid open if you prefer a gradual introduction or close it and switch off the interior lights for a fully enveloped experience, allowing you to ground yourself at your own pace. This flexibility ensures a comfortable and personalized experience for all who participate.

 

As you float effortlessly, the weight of the world lifts away, and you enter a state of profound relaxation. The body  can enter a state of Rem sleep in which the brain releases stored information from the day. The float effect is physiological, and the body will respond even if the brain and mind are busy. The sensory isolation allows you to escape external distractions, fostering a deep sense of tranquility and self-awareness.
