Sensory Deprivation Tanks, and Other Overblown Human Closets

The video discusses various wellness treatments like sensory deprivation tanks, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and whole body cryotherapy. While these treatments are based on some scientific principles, their benefits are often overstated. Sensory deprivation may reduce stress and enhance creativity, but evidence is limited. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is effective for specific medical conditions but not for autism or general health. Cryotherapy is popular among athletes but lacks strong evidence for recovery or weight loss. Overall, these treatments are not miracle solutions and should be approached with skepticism.
