Dry carbon dioxide bath
When conducting dry carbon dioxide baths, in contrast to water carbon dioxide baths, direct exposure to carbon dioxide takes place. The human body reacts to carbon dioxide by expanding blood vessels and capillaries, as well as increasing the level of oxygen in the blood. Accordingly, blood pressure decreases and vascular condition improves. The lymphatic system, which is responsible for cleaning the body of toxins, begins to work more actively. Dry carbon baths can also cure a number of diseases. Diabetes mellitus. Expansion of blood vessels improves blood circulation in human muscle tissue. Insulin interacts more actively with its receptors, which leads to a decrease in blood sugar levels. Thrombophlebitis. Under the influence of carbon dioxide, blood viscosity decreases, which is the prevention of various congestion in the blood, and, consequently, the formation of blood clots. Bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis. In the process of treatment with the help of dry carbon dioxide baths, the appearance of bronchospasm are eliminated, upper respiration is improved.

Hydrogen sulfide mineral baths

In the internal environment of a person, it penetrates through the skin and respiratory tract. During the period of taking such a bath, the substance diffuses through the skin (about 10%), forming a small depot in the epidermis, allowing it to prolong its action, improves the system of peripheral blood circulation, and, accordingly, the nutrition of tissues. Effects - decrease in blood sugar, fluctuations in sulfur and nitrogen metabolism, a decrease in the concentration of oxidized and reduced glutathione). This leads to an increase in the energy potential of organs and tissues; enhance regenerative functions and stimulate blood formation; снижение воспалительных реакций и рассасывание инфильтратов; improvement in the delivery of certain drugs through the blood-brain barrier (iodine, bijohinol, neosalvarsan); reducing the frequency of contractions of the heart, lowering pressure; stimulation of the secretion of the sebaceous and endocrine glands, the production of biologically active substances (histamine, serotonin, etc.); increase in minute and circulating blood volume.
