Floating

The water in the floating capsule contains EPSOM salt – the presence of magnesium and sulphur ensures the preservation of health and beauty. During the session you can fall asleep without any problems – one hour of sleep during floating is comparable to 4 hours of sleep at night! If you exercise, your body will recover in no time, as toxins and lactic acid will be removed from the organism, while the boost of endorphins will alleviate pain and accelerate recovery.

EPSOM salt in a floating capsule – for health and beauty

The water in the floating capsule contains EPSOM salt (magnesium sulphate). The magnesium and sulphur it contains are essential for health and beauty. Magnesium is one of the most valuable bio-elements – it is found in all cells. It is often referred to as the element of life. It is necessary for metabolic processes, activates the action of many enzymes, regenerates living cells, regulates blood clotting processes, influences bone development, strengthens the immune system and the heart. Its deficiencies result in nervousness, insomnia and chronic fatigue. It is much better absorbed through the skin than through the digestive tract, which means that bathing in water with EPSOM salts makes it possible to quickly replenish its deficiencies. Beautiful hair, moisturised and supple skin, strong connective tissue, shiny nails and functional joints, as well as a healthy endocrine balance, including stress shielding, a sense of happiness and joy, a good mood and feeling of relaxation, the proper functioning of the immune system, and a normal metabolism all depend on sulphur. Baths in EPSOM salt water in a floating capsule also have a purifying and relaxing effect, relieving pain and inflammation. They have a beneficial effect on the skin, accelerate rehabilitation, convalescence and wound healing, increase immunity and stamina. They help rid the body of heavy metals and toxins.

What is a floating capsule?

The floating capsule, sometimes referred to as an outflow capsule, is one of mankind’s greatest inventions for the natural renewal of body and mind. It is a soundproof space capsule filled with very salty water at a comfortable temperature close to that of the human body. During the séance, you float on water, as in the Dead Sea. The water is only 30 cm deep, for greater comfort, you can use the comfortable bolster. It contains EPSOM’s therapeutic salt solution, providing optimal buoyancy and having a beneficial effect on health and wellbeing. Absolutely no external stimuli reach you, enabling a state of deepest relaxation. Sounds, images, touch, gravity disappear… You feel as if you are levitating in the air and your body is simply drifting on the surface of salt water. When you wake up, you feel an unearthly peace because the stress, the pain, the fatigue are gone from your body.

Stress reduction

The floating capsule is effective in reducing stress, as it cuts off all external stimuli and allows you to melt into a meditation-like state. It makes the client inaccessible to the rest of the world and gives them a sense of security. Floating in a floating capsule lowers blood pressure and levels of the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. Stabilises the endocrine system. It activates the release of endorphins, putting you in a great mood and a state of bliss. It stimulates the brain to release theta waves, characteristic of the meditative state. Theta waves also reduce stress and enhance creativity, accelerate learning, awaken intuition and extra-sensory perception and integrate mind and body. All this makes a floating session the best way to completely calm the mind and eliminate stress.

Wellness for athletes

Relaxation in a floating cabin is an excellent regeneration for athletes – both amateurs and professionals. Did you know that floating sessions were included by the Australian Institute of Sport as early as 1938 in the Olympic preparation programme?

Now you can benefit from this unique regeneration – cleanse your body and mind of tensions, your muscles of lactic acid and toxins, get rid of pain, improve circulation and ultimately get better results! A session in a floating capsule improves mental state, increases concentration and builds confidence. The specific theta waves promote visualisations, enhancing coordination and sports performance.
