 About the mineral baths used for medicinal purposes, they know everything, and that's what the gas baths? This is a very interesting method of exposure, somehow undeservedly forgotten. It can be successfully used to improve the condition of the skin and the whole organism.
How does it work?
Plain water is saturated with gases specific composition, due to which is beneficial and curative and restorative influence. For therapeutic purposes, consists of carbon, oxygen and nitrogen bath.
For all medicinal baths is characterized by thermal effects, to which positively "respond" body. In the case of gas bath is very important physical and chemical gas effect on the skin. Physical effects of gas is as follows: the gas bubbles dissolved in the water are deposited on the skin, and then volatilize, irritating sensitive receptors. This impact is similar to a light massage.
Along with this, the gas bubbles make massage of skin temperature, as a normal gas temperature (12-25 ° C at various gases) is lower than the water temperature (34-36 ° C) for a human body.
Oxygen baths
Oxygen bath is prepared artificially, they eliminate the lack of oxygen, a beneficial effect on the nervous system, normalize blood pressure, stimulate the metabolism, improve the general condition and well-tolerated.
Oxygen is a part of all vital components of the body - proteins, nucleic acids. It is required for breathing, oxidation and many other chemical processes in the human body. The oxygen enters the body through the lungs, it is absorbed by blood hemoglobin and then flows from the blood to all tissues.
In the upper layer of the skin - the epidermis - no blood vessels, delivery of oxygen to cells derived from the lower layers of the skin. Oxygen bath compensate for the lack of oxygen, preventing the condition of hypoxia - oxygen starvation. It is known that when the signs of skin aging there is a decrease in its level of oxygen.
In this sense, oxygen baths are the same as cosmetics and oxygen, wherein oxygen carriers are various organic compounds, such as perfluorocarbon. The only difference is that the effective oxygen baths.
Carbonic acid bath
Sources carbonic waters are available at many resorts. Moreover, they can easily be prepared artificially. Carbon dioxide comes out of the bath through the skin, even at very low concentration. Gas bubbles form a thermally protective layer on the body, which makes it difficult to direct heat exchange between water and the body. This effect has a stimulating effect on blood circulation.
Carbonic baths stimulate the central nervous system, improves the function of the autonomic nervous system. After 10 minutes, receiving carbonated bath comes redness. Carbon dioxide penetrates through the skin, causes dilation of capillaries due to the release of substances that actively influence the capillaries.
Nitrogen bath
Nitrogen baths have very soft specific action. Under their influence, there is narrowing of the capillaries, especially venous bed and blanching of the skin, which gives way to mild redness. Deepens breathing, reduces blood pressure. Nitric bath has a calming effect on the central nervous system, analgesic and some anti-allergic effect.
In contrast to the mineral baths are often used in the treatment of skin diseases, gas baths used in the treatment of nervous diseases, and have mainly a restorative effect.
Dirty, but useful lesson
Gases in the natural form found in therapeutic mud. Therapeutic muds or peloids, astringent and antimicrobial effect on the skin that is caused by a chemical reaction of active substances with the proteins of the skin.
Therapeutic mud absorbs toxic metabolic products, bacteria, so cleans the surface of the skin and normalizes its functions. Under the influence of mud therapy dilates blood vessels, improves blood circulation and metabolism, accelerate redox processes in the skin.
In chronic inflammatory diseases of the skin mud has little analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, dissolve scars and adhesions. Mud is conducted mainly in the form of application of different temperatures, which are effective in the treatment of dermatological diseases, diseases of the joints.
