It can relieve joint pains, relax tired muscles and improve skin quality and blood circulation.
2. Sound Baths
Sound baths don’t involve water, but instead use auditory senses to stimulate the mind and body, typically for an hour session.
The vibrations produced by instruments can calm senses and reduce stress and anxiety.

Flotation therapy involves floating on Epsom salt-saturated water inside a pod, typically about one foot high.
It can provide short-term relief from stress, anxiety, depression and hypertension.
