float therapy

A float is a shallow pool filled 10 inches with warm water and more than 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt that keeps you effortlessly buoyant without wrinkling your fingers. The Epsom salt relaxes your muscles and in a space that's quiet with an option for complete darkness or cool lighting, research finds that floating improves sleep, strengthens cognitive performance, and reduces symptoms of chronic fatigue.
