The best possible cure for Fibromyalgia in India: PAIN FREE TODAY!!

What Is Fibromyalgia? 

Fibromyalgia is a disorder where widespread musculoskeletal pain is accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and Mood fluctuations. Researchers say that in case of fibromyalgia painful sensations are increased by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.
Symptoms sometimes start post physical or mental trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress and anxiety. In some cases, symptoms can accumulate over time with no single noticeable trigger event.

Research shows that women are more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression.
While there is no cure for fibromyalgia, a method can help control symptoms. Exercise, relaxation and stress-reduction measures also may help.

One of the most effective remedies that reverses this disorder is called as Sensory deprivation tank or float therapy or R.E.S.T. (restrictive environmental stimulus technique).

According to a study done by the Fibromyalgia Flotation Project, data was collected to determine how beneficial the effects of flotation are on fibromyalgia symptoms. Below are the symptoms listed with the average amount of relief that the participants of the study reported:

• 66% reduction in pain level

• 72% reduction in being bothered by pain

• 66% reduction in muscle tension

• 66% reduction in stress levels and

• 66% reduction in anxiety levels.

The project then reported on certain symptoms that were improved by floating including:

• 42% increase in freedom of movement

• 58% increase in energy level

• 64% increase in feeling of well being

• 163% increase in relaxation level

• 19% increase in amount of sleep and

• 83% increase in sleep quality.

Ongoing studies of floating report physical and psychological benefits including: pain management, mindfulness, stress relief, anti-gravity effect, magnesium absorption, decreased issues with insomnia/sleeplessness, heightened senses, increased immune functions, and help with mental health disorders.

The History

Year 1958. A ' Far Out ' Scientist Named Dr. John C Lilly, was called in by NASA to understand a few things about space travel and Human body and mind. He was then to create an environment similar to space where there is no gravity and no sensory stimuli. He began his work and in a few years created an environment where there was no gravity and Low sensory input on the Human mind.
He achieved this by creating a tank filled with about 10-12 inches of water, Added about 800 KG epsom salt to achieve the buoyancy. He Himself and many other astronauts went into this environment till the year 1969.
Many studies were conducted at this time by Dr. Lilly and NASA to fathom the effects of zero gravity and zero stimulation on the Human body and mind.
In the year 1969, Dr. Lilly introduced the first ever Sensory deprivation tanks to the general populace. The Company was called "Samadhi" and yes it was for a specific reason. float regularly and find out why it was called  'Samadhi'.
