carbonic acid exposure slows heart rate and breathing rate in measurable ways
CO2 baths produce clear bradycardia and decreases in both heart rate and respiration rate as direct effects.

A calmer heart rate and slower breathing are hallmarks of a relaxed nervous system. When your body naturally shifts into this lower-gear state, it's doing the kind of restorative work — stress recovery, cardiovascular ease, deeper rest — that most people struggle to access in daily life.
