Description

  The present invention is a carbon dioxide gas bath apparatus using a direct carbon dioxide gas bath which is simple and labor-saving for an artificial carbonic acid hot spring bath which is performed by imitating a natural carbonate hot spring bath.

  Carbonic acid hot springs are known to have a remarkable improvement effect on the body environment by the peripheral vasodilatory action of carbon dioxide contained together with an excellent heat retention effect, and are said to be effective in treating degenerative lesions and peripheral circulatory disorders. Carbonated hot springs, especially in the old geological age of Europe, have a lot of excavations, and treatments and medical treatments with a history of several hundred years are actively carried out. It is also a very fulfilling medical and academic situation and is also applied to the health system as a hot spring treatment.

  On the other hand, in the case of our country, the hot springs of carbonated hot springs can be said to be very few due to the new geological environment of the ages, and the meaning of hot springs in Japan has become common sense for recreation or rest. When thinking about medical care in Japan in the future, preventive medical care is an important factor, and we recognize the great existence effect of carbonated hot springs in Europe as prevention, treatment, and medical care. Even so, it is a social requirement that technology development should be promoted in pursuit of an effect that is consistent with carbonated hot spring baths.

  The basic effect of carbonated hot spring baths is a problem in general medical treatment due to the physiological action caused by free carbonic acid dissolved in carbonated hot springs acting in the form of affinity permeation in the water of the human body. Many effective results have been obtained for such complications as diabetes complications and adult diseases.

  Carbon dioxide gas has a high affinity with water molecules, and many artificial carbonated hot springs, etc. that follow natural carbonated hot springs have been devised by a pressure-adjusted system.

  The present invention provides a system for taking carbon dioxide gas directly into the moisture of a living body such as a human body.

Problems to be solved by the invention

The present invention is a system devised by examining how labor-saving is required to obtain the objective effect obtained by a carbonated hot spring bath. The hydrophilicity of carbon dioxide gas (hereinafter referred to as CO ₂ ) tends to decrease as the temperature increases as the melting and mixing ratio increases as the temperature of the low-temperature water increases. Therefore, there are considerable technical and system requirements for mixing CO ₂ gas into hot hot spring water, and the equipment requires strict procedures and costs.

CO ₂ gas bath at the natural carbon dioxide jet ports is been reported examples of the few but therapeutic use sediment, direct effects of the CO ₂ gas Izumi obtained naturally or drilling and CO ₂ spa bath It is known that they are equivalent.

By thus possible to provide a CO ₂ gas bath apparatus less costly by artificially CO ₂ gas in place of the natural carbon dioxide bath which can be obtained carbonate springs as effective as, CO ₂ high effect of carbonate springs The aim of the present invention is to promote the widespread use as a device that can be used in any place without complicated costs and procedures for mixing gas with hot water.

Means to solve the problem

As a good environmental condition for conducting a carbon dioxide bath, the temperature and humidity of the target body surface are exposed to a high concentration CO ₂ gas atmosphere and the CO ₂ gas is absorbed in an optimal state in the living body. It is necessary to prepare conditions. In addition, since CO ₂ gas is generally supplied by a specialized manufacturer and sealed in a counter pressure cylinder and is supplied by a counter pressure vessel of approximately 3 MPa to 7 MPa, CO ₂ gas is supplied to this apparatus. When doing so, the CO ₂ gas bath is supplied through a pressure regulating valve and an automatic control valve.
