    Apparently it gives you the same kind of benefits and relaxation as 4 hrs deep sleep. The epsom salts would also draw toxins out from the body and promote healing.

    At the moment I'm just interested in nobody talking to me for an hour!

    Had one when I was 4mths pregnant with DD. They call it a flotation tank

    It was very very relaxing. I went in totally nude and the water is lovely and warm. You shower before you get in and then when you get out.
    It's like going in dome (like the ones you see on top of cars carrying luggage or whatever only much bigger and metal) and they put the cover over on so you are in darkness. They have little light switches in them in case you get frightenend. Not reccommended if you are claustrophobic!!!
    It's a funny sensation, the high salt contentt makes you float when you lie down and relax. I was in one for around 45mins which was plenty for me.
    The point is to switch off your mind and relax, I almost fell alseep.
    It was something I had always wanted to try out, I liked it, wouldn't rush back and do it again. I had a massage after as well, it was heaven
