ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Isolation tank

An isolation tank is like a big bathtub that you can lay in and it is filled with water that has a lot of salt in it. The water is so salty that it feels like you are floating on top of it, like a cork in a bowl of water.

The tank is also dark and quiet which means that there is nothing to see or hear, so it's like being in a big, cozy blanket where you can't hear or see anything, just peaceful silence.

When you lay in the tank, your body is so relaxed that it feels like you are floating in space, weightlessly. Your mind becomes quiet and peaceful, like all your thoughts are taking a vacation.

People use an isolation tank to help them relax, reduce their stress, anxiety and even help alleviate chronic pain they may be experiencing. It is a perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of life, even if it is just for an hour, and recharge your energy.
