isolation tanks

Flotation therapy chambers

Isolation tanks are enclosed chambers filled with body-temperature saltwater, designed to eliminate external sensory input.

The high salt concentration allows effortless floating in complete darkness and silence.

Also called sensory deprivation tanks or flotation tanks, they're used for relaxation, meditation, and therapeutic purposes: I booked an hour in an isolation tank to decompress.
