Information on Aguasal Floatation Center |
The hustle and bustle of everyday life and be physically and mentally
overwhelming. Lou found a place in Arlington Heights were stress can
dissolve…in saltwater! At the Augusal Floation Center, you can float
your stress away in a float tank. Inside the eight by five foot enclosed
tub is two hundred gallons of water and a half ton of dissolved Epson
salt. The saltwater is so dense that it allows you to float…like a
cork! And, the absence of visual stimulation, noise, gravity and touch
enables relaxation.
