Increases immune response by boosting T- and B-Lymphocytes, and combatting the reduction of immune health caused by stress

Increased Immune Health

Floatation has been shown to help increase immune health by boosting the T and B Lymphocytes (types of white blood cells) [4]. Additionally, when people are stressed the immune system’s ability to fight off antigens is reduced, leading to people being more susceptible to infections [5]. This is because the stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system (e.g., lowering the level of lymphocytes). Luckily floatation can help with this, by lowering stress levels.
