The present invention relates to a pressure bath cover.

Conventionally, it is known that oxygen and carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide: CO ₂ ) penetrate into the skin and mucous membranes of a living body just by touching the skin and expand blood vessels at the permeation site to improve blood circulation. It has been. This blood circulation promoting action exerts various physiological effects such as lowering blood pressure, improving metabolism, and promoting the elimination of pain substances and waste products. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. For this reason, in recent years, oxygen and carbon dioxide have attracted widespread attention not only for medical purposes but also for health promotion and beauty promotion.

  Carbon dioxide in living tissues has a function of releasing oxygen transported by binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells. At high carbon dioxide concentrations, red blood cells release more oxygen. Thus, the supply of oxygen to cells by red blood cells is mainly controlled by carbon dioxide. In other words, without carbon dioxide, hemoglobin remains in an oxygen-bound state, and the cells cannot receive oxygen. In this way, carbon dioxide tends to look like a waste product as a result of cellular activity, but it actually plays a very important role in the body.
