Conscious Breathing

Cardisuit

$2,794

The Cardisuit is a system designed to help bathe the entire body (up to the neck) in carbon dioxide gas. Once you’re in the Cardisuit suit, at first all the air is vacuum pumped out and then the suit is filled up with 100% carbon dioxide. The CO2 is then absorbed through your skin, which will open up your blood vessels.

Many people report feeling very relaxed and will even fall asleep while using the Cardisuit. A parasympathetic deluxe experience.

WHY CARBON DIOXIDE?

When we inhale we take in oxygen, which is used to produce energy (ATP) efficiently. In this process of manufacturing energy, which is called metabolism, our body also produces heat, water, and carbon dioxide. The excess carbon dioxide is exhaled. However, if we are stressed, our breathing will increase and we will exhale too much CO2. If we are inactive, our metabolism will decrease, and less CO2 is produced. Combining the two, stress and inactivity, has a double negative effect resulting in lower levels of carbon dioxide in our body.

Since carbon dioxide has many important properties in our body, we may experience health challenges when the CO2 levels go down. One effect of CO2 is that it creates vasodilation, which allows greater blood flow to the cells, which in turn means increased oxygen delivery and improved removal of waste products.

The heart will have to work less hard to pump the blood through your circulatory system, and this will activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which creates a state of relaxation throughout the entire body,
