Flomsonekartlegging

Flomsonekartlegging, also known as flotation therapy or flotation, is a therapeutic technique that involves floating in a tank filled with a solution of Epsom salt and water. The solution is typically maintained at a temperature of around 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) and has a specific gravity of 1.005 to 1.015, which is slightly denser than the human body. This allows the body to float effortlessly in the solution.

The primary goal of flomsonekartlegging is to promote relaxation and reduce stress. By floating in the solution, the body is weightless, which can help to alleviate muscle tension and pain. The technique is often used to treat conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It is also used to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.

Flomsonekartlegging sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes. During the session, the individual lies on their back in the tank and is encouraged to relax and focus on their breathing. Some tanks may have additional features, such as music or light therapy, to enhance the therapeutic effect.

The practice of flomsonekartlegging has been around for centuries, with early references dating back to the 19th century. However, it gained popularity in the 1980s when it was introduced to the Western world by Dr. John C. Lilly, a psychiatrist and researcher. Since then, it has become a recognized therapeutic technique used in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practices.
