Flotation therapy involves the use of an isolation tank, usually called a sensory deprivation tank which is a lightless, soundproof tank filled with salt water at skin temperature, in which individuals float. Those who regularly utilize flotation therapy in their wellness programs report an array of positive long-term and short-term benefits. The deep mental relaxation initiated by floating allows the brain to produce a greater amount of theta waves, which are accompanied by an increase in mental clarity, creativity, imagery, and memory. In addition, the release of the endorphins induces the feeling of elevated mood states which are effective in helping alleviate anxiety, depression, and negative mental habits.
