Patent ID: 8790292

Claim:
A pressurized carbon dioxide bathing apparatus which is to bring carbon dioxide with a concentration of a predetermined value or more into contact with skin of a human body, thereby enlarge the blood vessel and improve the blood circulation, comprising: a carbon dioxide supply unit to supply carbon dioxide being contained in water vapor containing one or a plurality of chemical agents; a compressed air supply unit; and a cover suit of a two-layer structure which is connected to the carbon dioxide supply unit and the compressed air supply unit via connectors, and brings a mixed gas of carbon dioxide and the water vapor containing the one or the plurality of chemical agents supplied from the carbon dioxide supply unit into direct contact with skin of the human body, while forming an enclosed layer for confining compressed air supplied from the compressed air supply unit, wherein the carbon dioxide supply unit has a carbon dioxide bottle with carbon dioxide, water, a carbon dioxide inserting portion to which the carbon dioxide bottle with carbon dioxide filled therein is inserted, a water-retaining portion for receiving water containing the one or the plurality of chemical agents, and a mixed gas supply opening communicating with one of the connectors of the cover suit, the carbon dioxide inserting portion releasing the carbon dioxide inside the carbon oxide bottle into the water containing the one or the plurality of chemical agents in the water-retaining portion in bubble form of fine-particle size, thereby obtaining the mixed gas of carbon dioxide and water vapor containing the one or the plurality of chemical agents, and wherein the mixed gas of carbon dioxide and water vapor containing the one or the plurality of chemical agents from the carbon dioxide supply unit is brought into contact with the skin of the human body with the predetermined pressure value or more by the compressed air.
