Description

  The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide mist pressure bath cover used for a carbon dioxide mist pressure bath in which carbon dioxide gas is in direct contact with the skin and mucous membrane of a living body.

Conventionally, it is known that carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide: CO ₂ ) penetrates the skin and mucous membranes of a living body and penetrates subcutaneously to dilate blood vessels at the permeation site to improve blood circulation. . 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. Therefore, in recent years, carbon dioxide gas has 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.

  Therefore, in order to directly absorb carbon dioxide into the living body, the present inventors have previously proposed a carbon dioxide mist pressure bath apparatus and a carbon dioxide mist pressure bath system using a carbon dioxide mist pressure bath cover that covers the skin and mucous membrane of the living body. .

There was a problem. In addition, when the pressure in the cover for the carbon dioxide mist pressure bath becomes too high, it is necessary to remove the sticking part and the fixing part and release the same, and the carbon dioxide mist must be sent again, which is very complicated. .

  Accordingly, in view of the above situation, the present invention allows a small amount of carbon dioxide gas to be efficiently absorbed from the skin and mucous membrane of a living body, and easily discharges air in the cover for carbon dioxide mist pressure bath and adjusts the pressure inside the cover. An object of the present invention is to provide a carbon dioxide mist pressure bath cover that can be used.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a carbon dioxide mist pressure bath cover for enclosing a mist obtained by crushing and emulsifying a carbon dioxide gas having a concentration of a predetermined value or more and bringing it into direct contact with the skin and mucous membrane of a living body.
