PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon dioxide pressure bathing apparatus which makes the skin of a living body efficiently absorb even a small amount of carbon dioxide, and has a covering wear of simple structure.SOLUTION: The carbon dioxide pressure bathing apparatus for accelerating blood circulation by bringing the carbon dioxide of a concentration at or above a prescribed value into contact with the skin of a human body includes: a carbon dioxide supply unit 1 for supplying the gaseous mixture of the carbon dioxide and steam a compressed air supply unit 2 a first covering wear 3A for forming a sealed layer 4 connected to the carbon dioxide supply unit 1 through a connector 6 and filled with the gaseous mixture supplied from the carbon dioxide supply unit 1 for bringing the gaseous mixture into direct contact with the skin of the human body and a second covering wear 3B for forming a sealed layer 5 connected to the compressed air supply unit 2 through a connector 7 and filled with compressed air supplied from the compressed air supply unit 2 on the outer side of the first covering wear 3A. The carbon dioxide is brought into contact with the skin of the human body by the compressed air at or above a prescribed pressure value.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】少量の炭酸ガスでも効率的に生体の皮膚から吸収させると共に、被覆ウェアの構造が単純な炭酸ガス圧浴装置を提供する。【解決手段】所定値以上濃度の炭酸ガスを人体の皮膚に接触させることにより血行促進を図る炭酸ガス圧浴装置であって、炭酸ガスと水蒸気の混合ガスを供給する炭酸ガス供給手段1と、圧縮空気供給手段2と、炭酸ガス供給手段1に接続器6を介して接続され、炭酸ガス供給手段1から供給される混合ガスが充填され、この混合ガスを人体の皮膚に直接接触させる密閉層4を形成する第一の被覆ウェア3Aと、圧縮空気供給手段2に接続器7を介して接続され、圧縮空気供給手段2から供給される圧縮空気が充填される密閉層5を第一の被覆ウェア3Aの外側に形成する第二の被覆ウェア3Bと、から構成され、炭酸ガスを圧縮空気により所定の圧力値以上で人体の皮膚に接触させることを特徴とする。【選択図】図1
