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.
What it does
Carbonic Acid have several well researched and published scientific mechanisms of action that induce its very distinct and powerful effects on the body. As technology advanced, it has now become much easier, cost effective and practical to harvest the benefits of this incredible compound.
Carbonic Acid does the following:
- It dilates the arteries to increase blood flow threw out the entire body
- It enhances oxygen delivery at cellular level in the muscles, organs, brain, skin and other parts of the body.
- It is a natural anti-inflammatory compound
- It is a fat dissolving compound
- It naturally sedates and calms the central nervous system
- Stimulator of warmth receptors in the skin, inhibition of cold receptors
- Vasodilation of arteries
- Reconstruction of functionally closed capillaries
- Rightward shift in O2 dissociation curve
- Rise in venous response
- Improvement in blood flow properties
- Sedation of Central nervous system
- From the CO2 BATH research paper attached are the following conclusions
Direct Effects of Carbon Dioxide Bath
Primary Effects of CO2 Bath on the Skin:
- CO2 bubbles cling to skin.
- CO2 diffusion through the skin (not from the gas bubbles).
Influencing factors:
– Partial pressure gradient
– Blood flow
– Skin properties
- CO2 absorption (10-80 mL CO2/min; average of 30 mL/min/m2 body surface area. Corresponding to about 1.8-4.5 L/h) (= 10% of amount of CO2 produced by the body in the same time).
4. Rapid transport of absorbed CO2
Secondary Direct Effects of CO2 Bath:
- Flushing of the skin, presence of distinct ischemic boundry line (at and above 300-500 mg CO2/L).
- Dilation of precapillary arterioles and increase in capillaries through which blood is flowing.
- Promotion of blood flow through capillaries.
- Increase in amplitude of spontanious blow flow fluctuation (“vasomotion”).
- Inhibition of cold receptors and stimulation of warmth receptors, thereby lowering the intermediate temperature from 35°C (fresh water) to 32-33° (CO2 water).
- In a full bath at 32-33°C, the core body temperature decreases 0.5-1.0°C.
- Changes in circulatory statedecrease in capillary resistance
– decrease in capillary resistance
– “automatic transfusion of peripheral areas of body”
– decrease in blood pressure
– bradycardia
Result: Low-volume load (HMV increase does not exceed 30 to 50%) under economic (trophotropic) conditions of mild hypothermia.
Serial Application:
Adaptive changes in circulatory system over a prolonged period of time.
Long term Effects of CO2 Baths
The direct effects of CO2 baths are utilized for therapeutic ends. In addition, the pharmacological effects of carbon dioxide have been studied and are well documented. However, the sustained long-term effects that are desired can be obtained only through serial application, and so it is such serial application that determines the ultimate effectiveness of CO2 baths. These long term effects are not merely the sum of the individual effects. Rather, they are brought out by fundamental changes in the autonomic nervous system in stimulation, Response and adaptation therapy2.10 . There are instances where trophotropic economic changes in the autonomic trigger a temporary aggravation in the patients state (cure crisis) with the passage of time10 (Fig. 6: CO2 baths 4-7).
Research done by Japanese Scientists show in the following diagram what significant impact carbonic acid or a CO2 bath has on the blood flow in the feet of ischemic patients.
