FERMENTATION BATH
About the Sawdust Bath
A hot bath that uses the fermentation heat produced by microorganisms instead of heating directly with fossil fuels.
WHAT IS IT?
Born from the work of nature,
Soft warmth.
Ohtaka Enzyme stock solution is added to coniferous sawdust and fermented using the action of microorganisms. It is a dry hot bath experience where you will wrap your body in fluffy sawdust and feel the warmth and scent of wood.
HOW IT WORKS
How fermentation creates heat
sawdust
Use sawdust from coniferous trees such as cypress, cedar, and pine.
Ohtaka Enzyme stock solution
Plant extract fermentation liquid is added to create an environment in which microorganisms can work.
fermentation heat
The temperature is raised through fermentation without direct heating using electricity, gas, or oil.
This is an estimate of the amount of sawdust in the bathtub. The temperature that your body feels is different.
There are individual differences in how you feel depending on your physical condition and fermentation status.
Our staff will check the situation and make adjustments.
CARE & ENVIRONMENT
Care, hygiene, and the environment
Daily condition management
Facility staff manage the bathtubs while checking the temperature and fermentation status of the sawdust.
Care for each bath
Cleans areas touched by the user and prepares the sawdust for the next bath.
Recirculates even after use
Once the sawdust has finished its role, it is used as a soil improvement material in fields.
ARCHIVE / RESEARCH NOTE
Research on fermentation hot baths conducted at the time
The old site introduced materials that confirmed changes in the body before and after fermentation hot bathing. Here we present one of the records from that time, along with the conditions and scope of the investigation.
- Implementation date
- October 5, 2001
- Target
- 11 healthy volunteers aged 30-60
- method
- 15 minutes of bath followed by 10 minutes of half body bath. Blood was collected and measured at the same time the day before and the next day.
