Stress Getting The Better Of You? Epsom Salt Therapy Is What You Need

The newly opened – Liquid Sanctuary at Meherchand Market in New Delhi offers flotation therapy with epsom salts that feels like a hug from heaven. This therapy, supposedly leeches out toxins from the body and lets your body absorb magnesium from the water, helping you relax and unwind better.

Epsom salts {basically magnesium sulphate} are used to soothe muscle aches, reduce bloating and in some cases, increase magnesium in people who have a deficiency. During a flotation therapy, an individual floats on very shallow, purified water that is packed with high levels of epsom salts.

During the flotation therapy at the Liquid Sanctuary, I was asked to put on a pair of earplugs and was warned against splashing about in the water & rubbing my face to prevent the water from getting into {and stinging} my eyes. They play some music for 10 minutes, then there’s silence for 40 minutes followed by another 10 minute music to wake you up. The water which was a foot or two deep was pleasantly warm and jelly-like. Slowly I let myself go, stopped moving and it almost felt like I was lying down under a tree gazing at the sky – but better, and with my eyes closed. I was in a warm, gooey, comfortable cocoon that felt like my safe place. Without even trying, I was meditating. My aches felt soothed and my skin looked clearer after a soak and I did not even realise that an hour had gone by.

For most people, epsom salt therapy is like a giant meditative pill in a warm pool, which takes away aches and pains, soothes your mind, and makes your skin look amazing. With great results that are sure to amaze, we’re signing up for a whole month. What about you?
