<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathing apparatus that enables hyperthermia as comfortable as possible by reducing thermal stimulus to the skin even when taking a hot water bath above 42°C, that is, by setting sensible temperature in hot water as low as possible, as a bathing apparatus for comfortable hyperthermia. <P>SOLUTION: The bathing apparatus for hyperthermia is constituted so that an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) lowering device 3 that lowers oxidation reduction potential by making water pass through in contact with vitreous inorganic particles contained in a permeable container is arranged in a bathtub 4, and sensors 5, 6 for measuring water temperature and the body temperature are each provided in this bathtub 4, and a hot-water feeding/warming device which is capable of supplying hot water by a boiler 8 with a temperature adjusted in accordance with a temperature difference measured by these sensors 5, 6 or capable of warming by a heater 9 using gas or an electric heater is included. The oxidation reduction potential of water in the bathtub is reduced by the water oxidation reduction potential lowering device. As a result, in the hot water of 43°C for example, the sensible temperature lowers at least 1-2°C, to enable hyperthermia by taking a bath free of thermal stress for long hours. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
