Take some time to recharge and refresh with Eleventh Element

By Donna Caruso, Owner- Eleventh Element May 10, 2023

Being a parent is a full-time job, and it's easy to get caught up in the daily demands of parenting. However, it's essential to take care of yourself too. Self-care isn't selfish; it's a way to ensure that you have the physical and mental energy to be the best parent you can be. In this article, we'll explore some self-care practices that parents can try, including salt-rooms, float tanks, infrared saunas, facials and massages.

Massage therapy isn’t just fluff. This is a popular self-care practice for a reason. Massages can help reduce stress, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation. Additionally, massages can help relieve pain, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being. Not to mention is a quiet space to connect to self.

Next up is the float tank. Also known as sensory deprivation tanks, involve floating in a tank filled with 900 pounds of Epsom salt. Float tanks can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, float tanks can improve sleep quality, relieve pain, and enhance creativity.




Infrared saunas use full spectrum infrared light to heat the body, which can help improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and boost the immune system. Additionally, infrared saunas can help detoxify the body, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health.

Facials are a great way for parents (yes you too dad) to feel pampered. Facials can help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and even out skin tone. Additionally, facials can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can ultimately make you a happier and more energized parent.




Finally, Saltrooms, also known as halotherapy, involve sitting in a room that's filled with Himalayan salt. Small salt particles are blown into the room in micron sized particles to address the respiratory system. This is when nasal, not mouth breathing is essential. Saltrooms can help relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions like asthma, allergies, and bronchitis. Additionally, saltrooms can help improve skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Oh, and this natural service is safe for the kiddos too!



As a parent, it's important to make time for self-care practices. So, the next time you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, consider trying one of these self-care practices alone or with others at Eleventh Element to recharge and refresh.
