• 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.

1. What is Carbonic acid therapy

Carbonic Acid is naturally present in the human body and without it our bodies will not be able to function in a normal way. This therapy application is done by introducing CO2 into the chamber to react with the highly excited H2O steam molecules to form a new compound called Carbonic Acid (H2CO3) that have the ability to penetrate effortlessly into the skin and bloodstream dew to its highly soluble state which increase the oxygen absorption ability of blood, musculature and skin.

This physiological process is known as the “Bohr effect in medicine“, contributed to modern medical science by Danish physiologist Christian Bohr in 1904. The Bohr effect is one of the most sought after physiological affects that top medical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic scientists in the world are trying to achieve by spending billions of dollars to research and development treatments and pharmaceutical substances that can be patented to achieve this phenomenon.

The Bohr effect is not the only radical effect that carbonic acid has on the human body. Its other very distinct mechanisms that relates to stress therapy, Cellulite treatment, cardiovascular disorders and toning of the skin and reducing scar marks are discussed in the following segment.

The conclusion of the Bohr effect is that it increase the energy production that is needed for the body to maintain, defend and enhance itself.

1. Moisture and Osmolarity:
   • In a steam sauna, humidity is near 100%.
   • Steam creates a thin film of water on the skin.
   • This alters the osmotic balance between the skin surface and body fluids, making the skin release sweat and toxins faster.
   • The presence of steam also enhances the skin’s permeability, allowing ozone and CO₂ to react efficiently.
2. Thermal Conductivity:
   • Steam transfers heat more efficiently than dry air.
   • The body warms up faster, so sweating and circulation increase sooner and more deeply.
3. Combined Reaction Zone:
   • In an ozone steam sauna, each droplet of moisture becomes a reaction point where ozone forms ozonides — these penetrate deeper than ozone in dry air.

Conclusion:

Steam + Ozone creates a moist, active environment that not only makes the body sweat faster but also allows therapeutic gases (ozone and CO₂) to react more effectively with the skin — making it far more efficient than a regular dry sauna.
