Phuket's best Floatation/Isolation room

This floatation tank experience is about total relaxation. Lie in a quiet darkened room in a warm solution of Epsom salts about 10 inches deep and so dense that you will float effortlessly. Epsom salts are made from naturally occurring minerals and have long been renowned for their health and beauty benefits. Gentle music will play to help you wind down. Drift into a near-meditative state of complete calm. Afterwards take a refreshing shower before returning to the outside world feeling utterly chilled out.
Floating in a tank with warm Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) was invented by John Lilly in about 1964. He was interested in meditation and in the physiology and psychology of the meditative state when he started working on the effects of sensory deprivation. He discovered that his experimental subjects, his students, enjoyed the experience of floating and reached levels of relaxation only seen in deep meditation. In fact within a few minutes a floating person can reach a depth of relaxation which takes many years to achieve by classical meditation techniques.
Floatation therapy is such a simple idea that some of the benefits seem too good to be true.  But they are real and scientific research has validated the health giving and performance enhancing effects.
It is well known that relaxing sleep in bed is essential to good health and often the best way to recover from stress and illness. Our bodies have amazing powers of recuperation and we just need the chance to relax to let these powers work.
Floating in a floatation therapy tank is even more relaxing. The deep relaxation state achieved allows the body to recover from stress. Pain is relieved. Blood flow is stimulated through all the tissues, natural endorphins are released, and the brain gives out alpha waves associated with relaxation and meditation.  It feels good.
Usually it takes perhaps fifteen minutes to enter the first deep stage of relaxation, and the remaining 45 minutes of a typical hour-long session seem to pass quickly and effortlessly.  The benefits begin during this stage but continue after you leave the tank and for the rest of the day, and the next day, your body and mind feel refreshed.
Magnesium and sulphate will pass through the skin, raising the levels detected in the blood. This can have important benefits to health because both Magnesium and Sulphate deficiency are common.
Magnesium is found in vegetables and grains, derived from the ground in which they are grown. However many soils are magnesium deficient either naturally or through over cropping. Magnesium is also found in sea water. It is essential to life and deficiency is linked to many diseases including cardiovascular disease.
Sulphate is also essential to life in several ways. Sulphate is essential for the formation of proteins in joints, also for digestive enzymes and the gut wall lining. Furthermore sulphate is essential to the formation of brain tissue and is also involved in detoxification. Sulphate is not easily absorbed from the diet.
Bathing in magnesium sulphate is therefore a significant, safe and easy way to correct deficiency.
