Introduction to Enzymatic Hot Bath Bios Enzyme warm bath Bios is a warm bath method using a sawdust bathtub heated by natural fermentation. By adding undiluted Ohtaka enzyme solution to sawdust and soaking the whole body for 15 minutes at 60-70°C (the temperature felt is approximately 40°C), followed by a 10-minute soak for half the body, relaxation and detoxification of the body and mind can be expected. This method is also effective in relaxing muscles, promoting hormone secretion, and improving natural healing power, providing a refreshing feeling similar to that of a forest bath. In particular, it has various health and cosmetic benefits, such as stabilizing the autonomic nervous system, relieving fatigue, improving beauty (equivalent to the weight loss effect of a 15Km marathon), and enhancing the immune system. It can be used for a wide range of health problems such as weight loss, sensitivity to cold, constipation, beautiful skin, stiff shoulders, back pain, neuralgia, etc. Comparatively speaking, compared to bedrock baths, enzyme hot baths warm the entire body and produce a lot of sweat. In addition, the power of enzymes can be expected to provide various health benefits. The fee is 3,300 yen per visit, which is higher than the 1,000 to 1,500 yen charged for bedrock baths. However, there is an advantage in terms of hygiene. Located in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture, Bios is closed on Tuesdays and open from 10:00 to 21:00 (last admission at 19:00). Advance reservations are recommended, and if visiting by car, designated parking is available.
