SPA Lázně Jablonec
Dry Carbon Dioxide BathThe dry carbon dioxide bath is a very effective and prophylactic
system especially in the sphere of spa services and
convalescence. So called "closed carbonic gas bath"
treatment has a long and positive influence on the central
nervous system, cardiovascular system, as well as on blood
coagulability.It improves blood circulation, lowers blood
pressure and promotes mental relaxation. The client is placed in
a polyvinyl sack filled with carbon dioxide, and might fall
asleep easily as a result of the carbon dioxide's therapeutic
effect. The carbon dioxide enters the body through the skin. The
heart is slowed, possibly by reflex excitation of the vagus
nerve. The carbon dioxide bath has an action similar to digitalis
on the blood pressure; if high, the blood pressure is lowered; if
low, it is raised. The respiratory and pulse rates are slowed.
The heart becomes trained without increasing the frequency of the
heart beat.
