Gas mist pressure bathing method and gas mist pressure bathing system
Provided are a gas mist pressure bathing method and a gas mist pressure bathing system that improve the efficiency of absorbing a gas mist from the skin and mucous membranes of a living body. The gas mist pressure bathing method is provided with a first step, a second step and a third step. The first step involves supplying a gas mist for a predetermined time to at least a first cover 51 of a living body cover member 50 having said first cover 51 and a second cover 55 positioned outside of the first cover 51 , the inside of said second cover 55 being substantially sealed; covering the skin and mucous membranes of the living body; and forming a space wherein the gas mist supplied by a gas mist generating means 30 is sealed. The second step involves discharging the gas mist from the first cover 51 and/or the second cover 55 . The third step involves supplying the gas mist for a predetermined time from the gas mist generating means 30 to the first cover 51 and the second cover 55 , and keeping the pressure inside at least the second cover 55 in a predetermined range. The first to third steps are repeated multiple times.
1. A gas mist pressure bathing system producing a gas mist with a liquid and gas of carbon dioxide or oxygen, or a mixed gas of carbon dioxide and oxygen, the liquid and the gas or the mixed gas being pulverized and dissolved each other, and contacting the gas mist with a skin or a mucous membrane of a living body, the gas mist pressure bathing system comprising:
a gas supply source supplying the gas or the mixed gas,
a gas mist generator having a liquid storage for generating the gas mist with the gas or the mixed gas supplied from the gas supply source and the liquid stored in the liquid storage, and
a living body covering member which is a cover covering the skin and the mucous membrane of the living body and formed with a space for sealing inside the gas mist supplied from the gas mist generator, having a first cover placed inside and a second cover placed outside of the first cover and substantially sealing an inside of the first cover,
wherein
the first cover has a supply port introducing the gas mist in the first cover at a longitudinal end thereof, and an opening at another longitudinal end thereof,
the second cover has a connection part connected with the supply port at a longitudinal end thereof, and connecting the first cover and the gas mist generator while closing an inside of the second cover,
a longitudinal length of the first cover is shorter than a longitudinal length of the second cover, and
when the gas mist is supplied to the living body covering member from the gas mist generator, the gas mist contacts a covering region of the first cover and subsequently the gas mist is introduced into the second cover through the opening.
2. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a liquid supply part supplying the liquid to the gas mist generator.
3. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 2 , further comprising
manometers measuring pressure within the first cover and the second cover, and
a control device controlling air pressure within the first and second covers to be within predetermined values based on values measured by the manometers.
4. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising
a control device, and
one or plural sensors for measuring temperature, concentration of oxygen, concentration of carbon dioxide, or moisture within the first cover or second cover,
wherein the control device controls environments in the first cover or the second cover to be within predetermined values, based on values measured by the one or plural sensors.
5. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the first cover has a shape of releasing the inside by the opening.
6. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the first cover has a shape of closing the inside.
7. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the control device controls an amount of supply of the gas or the mixed gas such that the gas or the mixed gas is intermittently supplied from the gas supply source into the gas mist generator to effect interval pressurization on the living body covering member.
8. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the control device stops gas supply from the gas supply source when pressure value within the living body covering member exceeds a predetermined value.
9. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first cover includes a hand palm or a foot sole in the covering region.
10. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the liquid is any one or plural combination of water, ionic water, ozone water, physiological salt solution, purified water, or sterilized and purified water.
11. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 10 , wherein the liquid is any one or plural combination of menthol, vitamin E, vitamin C derivative, retinol, anesthetic agent, cyclodextrin, photo catalyst, complex of photo catalyst and apatite, hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, seed oil, propolith, citric acid, ethanol, chlorhexidine gluconate, amphoteric surface active agent, benzalkonium chloride, alkyl diamino etherglycine acetate, sodium hypochlorite, peracetic acid, sodium sesquicarbonate, silica, povidone-iodine, sodium hydrogen carbonate, carbonate spring agent of high concentration, anti-allergic agent, anti-inflammatory agent, anti-febrile agent, anti-fungus agent, anti-influenza virus agent, influenza vaccine, steroid agent, anti-cancer agent, anti-hypertensive agent, cosmetic, or trichogen.
12. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a size of the gas mist supplied from the gas mist generator into the living body covering member is not larger than 10 μm.
13. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein an electrode is provided for giving an electric charge to the gas mist supplied by the gas mist generator.
14. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the electric charge is minus.
15. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the gas mist generator has a gas mist supply pipe for supplying the gas mist into the living body covering member, and
the gas mist supply pipe has a cornice shaped pipe over a whole or at one part of the gas mist supply pipe.
16. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 15 , wherein the cornice shaped pipe is formed inside with a groove in a shaft direction of the pipe.
17. The gas mist pressure bathing system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first cover is a heat insulating cover.
