Floatation therapy based on the findings of researches has shown great potential in a variety of ways with regards to the health benefits that it is able to provide. The therapy which subjects individuals to enter a pod and float in an enclosed float tank that contains an Epsom salt solution that is heated to approximately our regular skin temperature allowing these individuals to remain afloat basically eliminates or removes the impact of gravity and temperature on our senses.
Apart from that, the fact that most of these pods or sensory deprivation tanks are also sound proof and dark leaves the individuals in them in a condition where normal stimuli is absent.
The structure of the logical science behind this therapy is actually found to be quite solid when it is looked upon from the possibilities that exist within ourselves and our minds to rectify our biological dimensions in terms of chemical optimisation One thing that has been made certain by researchers regardless of the science behind this therapy is the fact that floatation therapy actually works in wonderful ways by inhibiting the production of stress causing enzymes and enhancing the production of feel good enzymes such as endorphins and dopamine.
This factor alone would have covered most of the misconfiguration of health as the production of endorphins and dopamine without the inducement of drugs would have profound positive effects on our health as they bump up our immune response and neutralise stress related symptoms, which in turn advocate overall wellbeing.
Those who are considered in general as ‘health conscious individuals’ seem to have found a new platform that helps them to achieve their full health potential without the use of any ‘intrusive’ types of medical aid, as most have shown significant improvements in pain management, undermining stress and anxiety related symptoms and have better overall immune response systems after only weeks of float therapy. These isolations tanks which has been around for more than half a century has been found to be a great method towards to bumping up their health.
Although clinical trials are starting to show greater results there are a great number of individuals out there who have doubts about the therapy largely due to the fact that it has been around for so long and yet why its potential health benefits are only being discovered now. The truth is that, the benefits were not uncovered ‘scientifically’ and was only based on empirical evidence was due to the fact that we did not have the technology back then as we do now.
Scientists and researchers have now come to a point of understanding that floating in a sensory deprivation tank works due to the brain functions which have been measured and show vast difference between individuals who subject themselves to float therapy and those who do not. It has been found that the brain regulates itself when ‘floaters’ subject themselves to treatment by reconditioning brainwaves
and it is believed that the immense brain processing power that is disengaged as external stimuli is deprived allows the brain to use the ‘access processing power’ normally used to contend with external stimuli is redirected to other parts of the brain which recalibrates biological balances within them which results in better health.
The most important thing about it is that it works, and it works well based on the reports as it seemingly aids in all kinds of recovery which include helping pregnant women cope with their pregnancy, assist those having issues with arthritis, gouts, chronic headaches and other illnesses to be able to better manage their conditions and the differences in improvement have been drastic enough.
