• Dilates the arteries to increase blood flow throughout the entire body
• Enhances oxygen delivery at a cellular level to the muscles, organs, brain, skin and other parts of the body
• It is a natural anti-inflammatory compound
• It is a fat-dissolving compound
• Sedates and calms the central nervous system
• Stimulates warmth receptors in the skin and inhibits cold receptors
• Vasodilates arteries
• Reconstructs functionally closed capillaries
• Brings rightward shift in Oxygen-Hemoglobin dissociation curve; shows the increase of how readily Hemoglobin acquires and releases oxygen molecules into the blood
• Improves blood flow properties
• Sedates of the central nervous system

Due to these properties, CO₂ gas is infused before O₃ gas into the steam sauna cabinet, allowing for deeper penetration of ozone into the body.

Recover U chamber also allows for the application of CO₂ gas only (dry CO₂ bath) to patients who should avoid hyperthermia steam sauna due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders or due to open wounds.

The “dry CO₂ bath” is very convenient for people with decreased mobility (the elderly or disabled). This procedure can be done without removing clothing as there is no steam and heat involved and CO₂ passes through clothing easily. Sitting position during the CO₂ session ensures patient’s safety with no risk of congestion for people with impaired circulation. The treatment has a long and positive influence on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems, on blood coagulation and improved cellular metabolism. CO₂ bath also regulates blood circulation, heart rate, blood pressure, promotes mental relaxation, lymph circulation and frees respiratory tract. It stops skin infections, hyperpigmentation and cellulite.
