They are mostly formed in areas with salt deposits such as the Atacama desert, on the Iranian island Qeshm, the Dead Sea region, Israel, Romania, Poland, Austria, Russia, and many other countries. The formation of salt mines consists of a slow and long-lasting process, and water is the main reason for their construction.

As you may already know, the purpose of floating is to achieve complete relaxation of the mind and body. The concentration of magnesium sulfate added to the water solution of the float tank helps you float effortlessly and relax your body while keeping your eyes, nose, and mouth above the surface of the water - all this without the use of a single muscle. In addition to helping you achieve a nearly weightless state, magnesium sulfate also has many benefits for the body. Many of us don't get the amount of magnesium our body needs from food alone, and this...

The therapeutic role of salt has been known to mankind for centuries, but it was first documented in 1843 by the Polish therapist Felix Bochkowski. He noticed that the people working in the salt mines in Poland enjoyed excellent health and good spirits despite their harsh working conditions and meager diet.   This sparked Bochkowski’s interest, and after researching on salt caves, he found out the positive effects the miners were experiencing were due to the salt-saturated air they breathed daily. Thus, gradually, salt mines in Poland and Eastern Europe became popular sanatoriums, attracting visitors from around the world. But concerns about...

We are used to an active lifestyle and a stressful environment. When we put ourselves under conditions of sensory deprivation, the mind is still tuned into the...
