Floating in Your Bathtub
You cannot float in your tub at home or even in the ocean. Archimedes showed over 2200 years ago that floating involves boosting the density of the bathwater with salt until it exceeds your body’s density.
Benefits of Float Therapy
The benefits of floating in a genuine float tank versus a bathtub at home include emotional effects and physical differences. True floating is effortless and relaxing in a float tank due to the 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt dissolved in the water.
Floating Tips and Risks
Floating salt in your bath can relax and improve wellbeing. Ensuring the salt dissolves completely for a pleasant experience is crucial. Risks of floating at home include using large amounts of salt, potential dangers, and the need for caution while relaxing in a hot bath.
Falling Asleep Risks
Falling asleep in a hot bath can pose risks due to lowered blood pressure and heart rate, similar to a sedative effect. Avoid falling asleep unless certain the tub won’t fill with water and make sure to stay vigilant during bath time.
Proper Time for Bathtime Relaxation
Staying too long in the bathtub can lead to boredom or a sense of rushing. By making time for long soaks and enjoying the experience, you can enhance relaxation and make the most of your bath time.
Home Bathtub vs. Float Therapy
Home bathtubs differ significantly from float therapy tanks, providing limited space for relaxation. Float tanks allow for effortless stretching and sensory isolation, leading to a healthy and pleasant shift in consciousness.
