Procedure Character:

Mineral carbon dioxide bath is performed in a special stainless steel bathtub, filled with natural mineral water that has a high CO2 content at a temperature of 30-34°C. The CO2 is absorbed through the skin, improving tissue blood circulation and accelerating healing and regenerative processes. Muscle fatigue decreases, and blood pressure values normalize. The therapeutic effects are antihypertensive, cardiotonic, anti-inflammatory, and stimulate metabolism.

Procedure Course:

The client sits in the mineral water bathtub, keeping their head above the water level to prevent inhalation of carbon dioxide, which remains at the water surface. Initially, the client may feel cold, but this sensation is replaced by warmth within 1-2 minutes. The body becomes covered with bubbles of gas, and it is necessary to remain still so that the bubbles can settle on the skin.

The client rests quietly in the mineral water for 15 minutes, after which the spa worker wraps them in a dry wrap for 10 minutes on a bed next to the tub.
