Micro-bubble Therapy
1) Micro-bubbles are usually .01 microns in size, Tap water is 2mm and your skin pores are .05 microns, this allows the micro-bubbles to get in and exfoliate, while removing bacteria and blockages.
2) Micro-bubbles exfoliate the skin and increase re-hydrating the skin as well as regenerate your skin by stimulating your natural collagen.
3) Micro-bubbles, which have negative charges(-), bond with dirt and impurities inside the pores and on the skin which have Positive charges (+).
4) Dirt and impurities once bonded with the micro bubbles will rise slowly to the surface of the water.
5) Creates a overall well being feeling and helps with a deeper sleep.
6) One of the greatest health benefits about the micro-bubbles is it negative ions. Negative ions has an excellent warming and heating effect. The energy generated during the explosion of micro bubbles starts to heat up the deep layer of the human body and can keep it warm for a long time to improve all kinds of pains such as knee and joint pains.
7) Helps with Dry skin, Eczema, Psoriasis, Arthritis.
Micro-Bubbles and Cancer
Supplying Oxygen to Boost Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is a mainstay of modern cancer treatment. For example, about half of all women with breast cancer will receive radiation at some point during treatment.
But many tumors are resistant to the cell-killing effects of radiation. Much of this resistance is caused by the low levels of oxygen often found in tumors: oxygen is required for radiation therapy to generate the molecules, called free radicals, that kill cancer cells. When oxygen levels in a tumor are low, radiation therapy is less effective.
For decades, researchers have tested different ways of increasing the amount of oxygen in tumors, said Eric Bernhard, Ph.D., chief of the Radiotherapy Development Branch in NCI’s Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, who was not involved in the study.

Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy may offer a range of benefits, including:
Reducing pain
One review found that spa therapy using warm water had a significant pain-relieving effect in people with chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues.
The warm water may ease the signals for pain, relax the muscles, and increase blood flow, reducing pain in the area.
Improving mental health
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) note that water-based activities improve mental health in some people. For example, people with fibromyalgia may find aquatic exercise therapy reduces anxiety and depression.
Arthritis symptoms
People with some types of arthritis may benefit from hydrotherapy, as well. For example, one study found that people with osteoarthritis in the knee had improved markers of pain and knee function after 8 weeks of aquatic exercise.
Another study found that people with rheumatoid arthritis who engaged in moderate intensity aquatic exercise while continuing their medication had an improvement in markers of the disease, including lower oxidative stress.
Relaxation
Many forms of hydrotherapy also aid relaxation, both physically and mentally. Warm water may help ease tension in the muscles while promoting a relaxed state of mind.
Recovering from workouts
Athletes sometimes use various forms of hydrotherapy in which they alternate between warm and cold water. Many feel that this form of contrast hydrotherapy helps them recover from hard workouts and avoid delayed onset muscle soreness.
