Secondly, this technique can relieve a person from harmful addictions. But therapy is also welcome as a prevention. Fleet cameras are popular with athletes and dancers who have suffered serious injuries. In addition, they are often used by actors to prepare for complex acting work.

So, the sensory deprivation chamber is a special closed tank in which a solution with a high density is poured. As a rule, English salt is used for this. In this case, the water temperature should correspond to the temperature of the human body.

Since the water is too salty, a person literally hovers on its surface, as if in zero gravity. Thanks to this, the muscles of the body can completely relax, and all tension goes away from the spine. This procedure normalizes blood pressure and heart rate. In addition, it accelerates the healing of fractures, injuries and reduces swelling.

It is difficult to overestimate the effect of floating on the body. It is proved that one session in the float chamber can be compared to a full rest at sea. And the level of calm and relaxation in the body is equal to 6-8 hours of quality sleep.

Unfortunately, floating in its original form is not suitable for everyone. For example, people with a fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia) should not be immersed in a closed chamber. Therefore, float pools began to appear in the world. There may be several people at a time.
