        During dry carbon dioxide baths, a moderate flow of carbon dioxide and steam is provided without the presence of water. The gas is supplied along with heated steam, which is necessary to enlarge the pores of the skin and ensure proper penetration of carbon dioxide into the body. Carbon dioxide dilates capillaries and improves blood circulation, has a beneficial effect on the skin and the formation of biologically active substances. Due to improved blood circulation, the body’s resistance increases, and the expansion of blood vessels contributes to a decrease in blood pressure. This therapeutic procedure is especially useful in the presence of the following diseases: chronic bronchitis, chronic pneumonia, bronchial asthma, metabolic disorders and diseases of the endocrine system.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
