Promising New Research into Floating for Anorexia Nervosa

  From helping with anorexia nervosa, to regulating the immune system, to reducing general and acute anxiety, new findings on floatation continue to flow out from researchers around the world. While much of the science news these days is taken up by stories and discoveries about COVID, countless labs around the world carry on with their studies, many of which began years before the pandemic, and the world of floatation is no exception. At the recent 2021 Float Conference at the end of August, we got to hear highlights from some of the world leaders in float research. Of special interest was the ongoing research at the Float Clinic and Research Center at LIBR (the Laureate Institute for Brain Research), and the research relating to patients with anorexia nervosa was the furthest along. In addition to the float clinic, LIBR houses a treatment and research center for anorexia, including a large population of inpatients who live there for longer periods of therapy and treatment.
