carbon dioxide gas baths avoid hydrostatic stress on the heart and circulation
Carbon dioxide gas baths are more effective than water carbon dioxide baths for patients with combined hypertension and coronary heart disease (functional classes II and III) and for patients with combined hypertension and congestive heart failure, because they lack the hydrostatic load on central hemodynamics.
What this means for you
When carbon dioxide is delivered as a dry gas rather than in water, the heart isn't working against water pressure — which matters for people managing cardiovascular stress. This gentler approach to CO₂ exposure may support circulation and cardiovascular comfort without the added load that immersion places on the heart and blood vessels.
