The invention relates to a treatment apparatus comprising an envelope that can be placed on or around a body part of a person such that the envelope has a positioning area (Z) for said body part of the person, the envelope being provided with an inlet (8) for a gaseous medium and an outlet for discharging the gaseous medium present in the envelope. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a control system (11) for controlling the flow of the gaseous medium in order to direct the gaseous medium entering the envelope via the inlet (8) outside the positioning area (Z), and to homogenise the gaseous medium present in the envelope.

Systems and methods for affecting metabolism, such as the treatment of metabolic syndrome are disclosed. A method for treating metabolic syndrome can include one or more of the steps including identifying a region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue; positioning the region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue into an enclosed chamber; adjusting the relative humidity of the enclosed chamber sufficient to create a physiologic metabolic effect; and activating a convection fan within the chamber to promote heat transfer from the glabrous tissue. The method need not involve altering the temperature within the enclosed chamber.

A medical treatment system including a treatment chamber, a source of an aqueous mist containing a medication, a source of an oxygen-enriched gas, and a control system adapted to alternately surround a human body part with a mist containing a medication and the oxygen enriched gas, which can be used to treat various skin disorders including infected lesions, bacterial infections such as acne (i.e. Proplanibacterium acnes), fungal infections such as Athelete's foot (i.e. fungal genus Trichophyton), conditions associated with hair loss including alopecia as well as ulcerations and frostbite resulting form poor circulation. A method of treating skin disorders is also disclosed, that includes providing a mist containing a medication and enriched oxygen gas to the site being treated its well as providing oxygen to the patient during treatment.

A steam therapy equipment including a vessel for heating a mixture of water and organic materials, a compressor to inject pressurized air into the vessel producing pressurized steam. The pressurized steam is conducted into the equipment via one or more valves. The therapy equipment is formed from at least one panel and may include a supporting frame. The therapy equipment includes a temperature sensor to measure the temperature inside the therapy equipment when pressurized steam is admitted via the valves. A patient enters the equipment and is exposed to the pressurized steam, causing dilation of the skin pores of the patient, whereby toxins are removed from the patient. One or more applicators may conduct pressurized steam to specific portions of the body of the patient. The patient may be provided with a portion of the mixture to consume as part of the steam therapy treatment.

The invention relates to medical equipment and can be used to prevent human exposure to sources of negative energy in geopathic zones and to electromagnetic radiation.

The device comprises two pyramids 1, 2 in the form of hollow vessels sharing a common apex 4 and interconnected by a tubular channel 11. A base 8 of an upper pyramid 2 is provided with a removable lid 9. An antenna represents an EH-antenna 3 having oscillators in the form of the pyramids 1, 2, the parameters of which are consistent with the golden section, satisfy an even number from the Fibonacci series (F2=1.62), and are specified by the formula: α=2h.sup.2/s, where a is the side length of the bases, h is the height of each pyramid, and s is the apothem. A toroidal permanent magnet 14 is assembled on the outer surface of the tubular channel 11, and an audio/video device 19 along with a means for monitoring the physical parameters of the liquid medium within the volume of the pyramids 1 and 2 are mounted in the leak-proof compartment of cavity 13 of the lower pyramid 1. Lid 9 of base 8 of the upper pyramid 2 has a photovoltaic power source 10 disposed thereon for providing operation of the audio/video device 19 and means 18 for monitoring the physical parameters of the liquid medium within the volume of the pyramids 1 and 2.

A steam physiotherapeutic device comprises a water tank, a boiler with a steam outlet, a liquid inlet channel for communicating the water tank with the boiler, a water valve mechanism for controlling the liquid inlet channel to open or close, and a heating mechanism configured in the boiler, wherein the heating mechanism is used for heating water flowing into the boiler to generate steam; the liquid inlet channel comprises a first passage with a water inlet section communicated with the water tank, a second passage with a water outlet section communicated with the boiler, and a third passage communicated with a water outlet section of the first passage and a water inlet section of the second passage; the first passage extends in the horizontal direction, and the second passage also extends in the horizontal direction; and the height of the second passage in the steam physiotherapeutic device is greater than that of the first passage in the steam physiotherapeutic device, and the third passage is communicated with the first passage and the second passage. The present application overcomes the drawback of water backflow of the prior art.
