Description

  The present invention is a gas mist for use in a gas mist pressure bath in which a gas mist obtained by crushing and dissolving carbon dioxide, oxygen or a mixed gas of oxygen and carbon dioxide (hereinafter simply referred to as “gas”) and a liquid is brought into direct contact with the skin and mucous membrane of a living body. 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 the living body just by touching the skin and expand the blood vessels at the penetration site to improve blood circulation. ing. 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.
