Well Tested: Flotation Therapy | Healthline

In this Healthline Original Series, host Joanna Carpenter learns the benefits of flotation therapy. A flotation tank, also called an isolation tank or a sensory deprivation tank, is used for restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST). It is a dark, soundproof tank that is filled with a foot or less of salt water.
Studies suggest time spent floating in a flotation tank, or sensory deprivation tank, may have some benefits in healthy people, such as muscle relaxation, better sleep, decrease in pain, and decreased stress and anxiety.

    False. First off, you cannot achieve sensory deprivation at the Dead Sea which is packed with tourists at all times. Not to mention, you would go try to float at the Dead Sea at nite time and even then you wouldn’t achieve sensory deprivation because there are noises and sights and people. The Dead Sea is not in a controlled environment with regulated water temperature and sound control as well as approximately 10 inches of water. In addition, the Dead Sea is disgustingly dirty and people go there for the benefits of the mud and salt from the Dead Sea not for sensory deprivation or anything like what is experienced in a float tank. Please don’t spread misinformation online.

    It does sound like a rip off, hah. I'm not sure why these tanks are so expensive, but the idea is very different than floating in a lake. It's sensory deprivation, which they don't mention anywhere in the report. For one hour you're in a soundproof tank, no light, no distractions, your body is effortlessly weightless. It's just you, your thoughts, and your heartbeat.

    1250lbs of Epsom salt? in that 6x7 looking room, and probably 10 inches deep. I don't know about that. Sounds like moist salt to me.
