A foldable foot bath device includes a support rod, an upper frame, a base, and a basin wall connected between the upper frame and the base. A cover plate is arranged on the upper frame. The basin wall is made of flexible material and foldable. When the basin wall is unfolded to form a foot bath area, the basin wall is supported by the support rod. The support rod is located in the space surrounded by the basin wall, and an upper end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the cover plate. The support rod is supported between the cover plate and the bottom side of the base after the basin wall is unfolded, thereby forming the support for the basin wall. The support rod is flipped and then approaches the cover plate after the basin wall is folded.

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. Propionibacterium acnes), fungal infections such as Athlete's foot (i.e. fungal genus Trichophyton), conditions associated with hair loss including alopecia as well as ulcerations and frostbite resulting from 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 as well as providing oxygen to the patient during treatment.

A liner for use with a basin to contain a liquid features a plurality of bodies of flexible plastic. Portions of an inner face of a first body of flexible plastic are joined to corresponding portions of an inner face of a second body of flexible plastic, through which a plurality of openings are formed, to provide a multi-layer body of flexible plastic. Other portions of the inner face of the first body of flexible plastic are not joined to corresponding other portions of the inner face of the second body of flexible plastic, defining an air conduit between the first body of flexible plastic and the second body of flexible plastic for guiding pressurized air substantially from an air discharge apparatus.

Systems and methods for improving or preventing a condition, such as the treatment of pain syndromes and migraine headaches are disclosed. A method for treating pain 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 effect. The method need not involve altering the temperature within the enclosed chamber.

An abrasive non-pliable hygiene apparatus for smoothing a foot and method of use. The apparatus includes an abrasion sheet, frame, and engagement sheet. The abrasion sheet is composed of a non-pliable, corrosion-resistant material with a roughened top surface designed to increase abrasion efficiency between the sheet and an epidermal surface of a foot. The abrasion sheet also has bracketing members designed to engage the frame. The frame has ridge structures designed to retain the abrasion sheet and allow for user grip. Attached to the bottom of the frame, the engagement sheet facilitates friction, retaining the placement of the apparatus during use. The frame and abrasion sheet may be one structure, having at least one additional channel disposed along a side, allowing other abrasion sheets to be attached thereto.

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 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 device for washing the feet and lower legs of a user comprises a tub for receiving the feet and lower legs of the user; at least one footrest located within the tub for supporting the feet of a user during washing; a fluid supply mechanism for introducing fluid into the tub; one or more rotatable transversely extending cleaning assemblies located above the footrest for washing a user's feet; and one or more rotatable upright cleaning assemblies communicating with the fluid supply mechanism for washing one or both lower legs of the user, wherein each rotatable upright cleaning assembly is carried on a guiding mechanism for moving the one or more rotatable upright cleaning assemblies around a portion of the footrest during a lower leg and foot cleaning cycle.

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.
