After an alternating bath with warm and cold spray water in separate arm and foot basins, carbon dioxide gas is applied to the extremities. The CO2 gas bath is an alternative to the carbon dioxide bubble bath or mineral bath, as there is no central hydrostatic pressure on the trunk of the body.
Effect: By alternating warm and cold stimuli, the metabolism is stimulated and the body is better supplied with oxygen. The additional introduction of CO2 gas changes blood circulation through the skin capillaries and blood pressure can be reduced.
indication: Supportive treatment for mild circulatory disorders, mild high blood pressure, peripheral arterial disease, rheumatic diseases in the subacute and chronic stages
Duration: up to 20 minutes
