Nervous System Fasting and Physiological Regulation
A parallel is drawn between dietary fasting and flotation therapy, describing the latter as a "fasting for the nervous system." By removing external stimuli, the body is able to cease constant processing and enter a state of deep physiological rest. Clinical data shows that during a float, blood pressure drops by 10 to 13 points and heart rate variability increases, indicating a shift toward parasympathetic dominance.
