According to Cancer.org, after only 8 hours of your last cigarette, the oxygen levels in your blood increase. After 12 hours, your carbon monoxide blood levels drop to normal. After 2 days of not smoking, you’ll have heightened senses of smell and taste. 3 days later, your bronchial tubes relax and breathing may feel less labored than before. During the first 9 months smoke free, your shortness of breath will improve, and the tiny cilia hairs in your lungs will regain function, allowing your body to clean your lungs. After 1 full year, your risk of heart disease is about half compared with a smoker. After 15 years of being smoke-free, your risk of a heart attack falls to the same as someone who has never smoked.

Health statistics have shown that 80% of the population will experience lower back pain at some point in their life. Often this is re-occurring and at times may be debilitating. Many factors lead to lower back pain, but the most common one is emotional stress. In most cases, lower back pain occurs during or after a stressful event or emotional stress. It is important to note that all emotions are physical and that lower back pain is telling you to change something in your life. If the spinal system is flexible and well adjusted, lower back pain due to stress is usually eliminated.

Float tubs provide a place where one can relax, recover, and remove themselves from their busy and stressful lives. Once settled on the surface of the float tub and the lights go out, (optional) the outside world disappears. No sight, no sound, and no sensation while you are suspended in perfect harmony. Your body/mind instantly begin to slow down as you reach Theta state (deep meditative state), breathing rate decreases, blood pressure decreases, and stress hormones all naturally decrease (cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine). The decrease of stress hormones is because your sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”) is allowed to finally turn off (which is very rare).
