The reason why putting Epsom salt in your bath can't duplicate the experience of floating is because you need several hundred pounds of dissolved Epsom salt in order to float like a cork. You can enjoy yourself with a simple bath with Epsom salt, but that won't cause your brain to release endorphins like floating does. Also, putting a little Epsom salt in your bath won't cause your muscles to relax to nearly the same degree that hundreds of pounds of Epsom salt will. Floating has a profound effect on your stress level and your state of mind. Floating actually causes your brainwaves to transition from beta to theta, which is a state of very deep relaxation that everyone experiences when they're asleep, but most people never experience while awake. This theta state greatly reduces stress hormones while flooding your brain with mood-enhancing endorphins. Floating is in a totally different category. Thanks for your question Victor.
