Benefits of CO2 Bathing at Home

Bathing in a CO2 solution can be beneficial for various reasons as the body perceives the absorbed carbon dioxide as a lack of oxidants, leading to enhanced blood circulation and nutrient delivery. The ingredients for a CO2 bath at home include sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and an acid such as ascorbic acid, which when combined in water create bubbles. The beneficial effects of CO2 bathing have been supported by studies, with cases showing significant improvement in skin conditions and circulation problems.
