Abstract

A bathing product for bathing comprises: a sodium hydrogen carbonate, commonly known as baking soda, being usable for softening the bathing water, removing body odor, revitalizing skin and facilitating enhanced body care or treatment, and a water sanitizing agent, being usable for effectively sanitizing the liquid and cleaning the bath apparatus without causing toxic effect to a bather for bathing in the liquid. The sodium hydrogen carbonate mixture may comprise 50-99% by weight sodium of hydrogen carbonate formed in powder form, and the water sanitizing agent may comprise about 1-10% by weight of trichloroisocyanuric acid. The bathing product may further comprise a bubbling agent to create a bubbling action for pleasure and soothing sensation for the bather.

Claims (19)

1. A bathing product for foot care by applying to a bathing liquid contained in a bath apparatus for foot bath, the bath apparatus having a water container connected to a water circulation system, the bathing product consisting:

about 50-99% by weight of sodium hydrogen carbonate for facilitating cleaning and deodorizing the bathing liquid and the bath apparatus without causing a toxic effect to a bather for bathing in the bathing liquid, and also for skin care and therapeutic benefits to the bather;

about 1-10% by weight of a water sanitizing agent for sanitizing the bathing liquid and for sanitizing and cleaning a water passage of the bath apparatus upon circulation of the bathing liquid using the water circulation system without causing toxic effect to the bather for bathing in the liquid, the water sanitizing agent selected from a group consisting of a bromine based sanitizer, a biguanide based sanitizer, and a chlorine based sanitizer, said chlorine based sanitizer selected from a group consisting of chloramine, chloramine-T, trichloroisocyanuric acid, and sodium dichloroisocyanate;

about 1-40% by weight of herbal or plant extracts, said herbal or plant extracts comprise about 1-20% by weight of aloe vera extract and about 1-20% by weight of cucumber extract, and the bathing product further comprises about 0.1-3% by weight of fragrance and about 0.1-3% by weight of coloring agent; and

a bubbling agent to create a bubbling action for pleasure and soothing sensation for the bather, the bubbling agent including citric acid and formed in tablet form.

2. A bathing product for foot care by applying to a bathing liquid contained in a bath apparatus for foot bath, the bath apparatus having a water circulation circuit coupled thereto for circulating or providing water stream to a bather, the bathing product consisting:

about 50-99% by weight of sodium hydrogen carbonate for sanitizing, cleaning, and deodorizing the bathing liquid without causing a toxic effect to a bather for bathing in the bathing liquid, and also for sanitizing, cleaning, and deodorizing the bath apparatus and the water circulation circuit coupled thereto upon circulation of the bathing liquid;

about 1-10% by weight of a water sanitizing agent for sanitizing or cleaning the bathing liquid and the bath apparatus without causing toxic effect to the bather for bathing in the liquid, the water sanitizing agent selected from a group consisting of a bromine based sanitizer, a biguanide based sanitizer, and a chlorine based sanitizer, said chlorine based sanitizer selected from a group consisting of chloramine, chloramine-T, trichloroisocyanuric acid, and sodium dichloroisocyanate;

about 1-40% by weight of herbal or plant extracts, said herbal or plant extracts comprise about 1-30% by weight of aloe vera or cucumber extract, and the bathing product further comprises about 1-15% by weight of urea, about 0.1-3% by weight of fragrance, and about 0.1-3% by weight of coloring agent; and

a bubbling agent to create a bubbling action for pleasure and soothing sensation for the bather.

3. A method of foot care for a bather using a bathing substance, consisting the method steps of:

providing a bath apparatus with a water container connected to a water circulation system;

partially filling water in the water container;

adding a bathing product to the water, the bathing product consisting essentially of about 50-99% by weight of sodium hydrogen carbonate and about 1-10% by weight of a sanitizing agent, said sanitizing agent selected from a group consisting of a bromine based sanitizer, a biguanide based sanitizer, and a chlorine based sanitizer, said chlorine based sanitizer selected from a group consisting of chloramine, chloramine-T, trichloroisocyanuric acid, and sodium dichloroisocyanate, for sanitizing the water and a water passage of the bath apparatus without causing toxic effects to the bather, the bathing product further including about 1-40% by weight of herbal or plant extracts;

adding a bubbling agent in the water for increasing the pleasure and bathing sensation for the bather;

placing the feet of the bather in the water for bathing;

circulating the water using the water circulation system such that a water passage of the bath apparatus can be sanitized by the sanitizing agent of the bathing product; and

draining the used water from the water container through a bath drain of the bath apparatus,

wherein said bathing in the water is performed while circulating the water with the water circulation system.
