The Cardisuit™ was created to support relaxation and recovery through gentle exposure to carbon dioxide via the skin. Developed by Anders Olsson, pioneer in modern breathing science and founder of the Conscious Breathing Institute, the Cardisuit™ is part of the Cardi Series and has become a highly appreciated tool within our global community.
By surrounding the body with CO₂ up to the neck in a calm and controlled environment, the Cardisuit™ supports a deeply calming and restorative experience. Many people describe the experience as deeply calming, grounding, and revitalizing, making it a natural part of a regular wellness routine.
Who Is It For / What It Does
The Cardisuit™ is designed for people who care deeply about their health, recovery, and long-term wellbeing. It is especially valued by those who want to support relaxation and overall wellbeing in a simple yet immersive way.
Unlike inhaled CO₂ methods, the Cardisuit™ delivers carbon dioxide through the skin. This approach has long been used in spa and wellness environments to support comfort and relaxation.
During a session, air is gently removed from the suit and replaced with CO₂, creating a dry bath experience. Many users notice a profound sense of relaxation, warmth, and mental quiet, along with a refreshed and balanced feeling after use. The Cardisuit™ is intended as a consumer wellness and recovery product, rather than serving as a medical treatment.
Specifications
The Cardisuit™ is a full-body CO₂ dry bath suit that covers the body up to the neck. It is available in two sizes.
Medium size: fits most users up to approximately 183 cm or 6’0”.
Large size: fits users up to approximately 203 cm or 6’8”.
A standard trim-to-fit neck seal is included, with an optional smaller insert available if needed. Recommended session time is typically between 30 and 60 minutes, and many people choose to use the Cardisuit™ regularly as part of a wellness or recovery routine.
CO₂ tanks are not included.
Material and Care Instructions
The suit is made from a durable, airtight material designed for repeated CO₂ exposure and long-term use in both home and professional wellness settings.
Before each session, it is recommended to inspect the seals and zipper. After use, the suit can be turned inside out and wiped with a soft cloth or steam cleaned. Avoid sharp objects or jewelry that could damage the material and ensure good room ventilation during and after each session.
What Is Included in the Package
The package includes one Cardisuit™ CO₂ dry bath suit, a suitcase that holds all components, and a Cardisuit storage bag for easy transport and organization. A CO₂ regulator, inflation gun, vacuum pump for removing air before CO₂ infusion, regulator wrench, and a sleep mask for enhanced relaxation during sessions are also included.
If the Cardisuit™ is shared between multiple people, choosing the Large size or a combination of sizes is recommended for comfort and flexibility.
Q: What is a CO₂ dry bath?
A: A CO₂ dry bath involves surrounding the body with carbon dioxide gas in a controlled environment, typically while seated or lying down. The Cardisuit creates a full-body CO₂ dry bath that covers the body up to the neck, allowing passive CO₂ exposure through the skin. Unlike water-based CO₂ baths used in some spa settings, the Cardisuit uses CO₂ gas only. This approach has been explored in wellness and spa environments for its effects on relaxation and comfort.
Q: How does CO₂ absorption through skin work?
A: Carbon dioxide can pass through the skin during external exposure. During a Cardisuit session, CO₂ surrounds the body and is absorbed passively while breathing remains normal through the head, which stays outside the suit. This is distinct from inhaling CO₂—exposure occurs externally while you breathe regular air. The Cardisuit is designed for relaxation and recovery routines as part of general wellness practices, not as a medical treatment.
Q: What does a CO₂ bath feel like?
A: User experiences with the Cardisuit vary between individuals. Many people describe sensations of deep relaxation, warmth, calm, or a grounding feeling during sessions. Some users report feeling mentally quiet or experiencing a restorative quality. The experience is generally passive and calm, as you remain seated or lying down throughout the session. Individual responses depend on personal sensitivity and session familiarity.
Q: Is CO₂ dry bathing safe?
A: The Cardisuit is designed for controlled sessions in well-ventilated spaces when used as intended. CO₂ levels in the room generally remain stable during a session, though they may temporarily increase when the suit is emptied. Normal ventilation quickly restores levels. If you are pregnant, have a diagnosed medical condition, or have concerns about CO₂ exposure, review the Cardisuit user manual and consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
Q: How is the Cardisuit different from CO₂ inhalation methods?
A: The Cardisuit delivers CO₂ exposure through the skin rather than through breathing. Your head remains outside the suit, and breathing stays completely normal throughout the session. This makes it a passive, external exposure method rather than an active breathing practice. The experience focuses on relaxation and recovery rather than breathing training, distinguishing it from devices like the Cardihaler which involve inhaling controlled CO₂ levels.
Q: How long is a Cardisuit session?
A: A typical Cardisuit session lasts 20 to 50 minutes. Some users choose shorter sessions, especially when starting. Many people use the Cardisuit 2-3 times per week, while others prefer more frequent use depending on their personal routine and comfort level. There is no fixed protocol—session length and frequency should be based on individual response and comfort.

41‑year‑old male with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Used AI help for this review to communicate clearly but hear me out :D
I’ve been living with aggressive RA for 6 years now (from 2018), and the Cardisuit has been one of the few things that has genuinely helped me relax both physically and mentally (really takes the edge off I believe even if I never used antidepressants). After each session, I notice that my breathing becomes easier, my sleep improves (and body finally has a chance to fix itself when sleeping), and my inflammation drops significantly. In my case, the effects have lasted for weeks after just the second use — something I’ve never experienced with other therapies. For comparison, a sauna usually gives me about 24 hours of relief.
I still take methotrexate for my RA, but thanks to the combination of treatments I’ve been using, I’ve been able to stop taking painkillers. I pair the suit with acupuncture, occasional lymphatic massage, and red‑light therapy to help my body shift out of “fight‑or‑flight” mode and into a calmer, more restorative state. Even my digestion and hydration seem to have improved, which still surprises me after struggling for so long.
After ten years of having problems with digestion, it feels incredible to find something that finally supports my body in such a noticeable way. I suspect it may also have a positive effect on the vagus nerve, at least based on how I feel afterward.
I’ll continue doing sessions with my longevity doctor every few weeks, but I’m seriously considering buying a suit for home use since the price isn’t unreasonable. For anyone dealing with chronic issues, it might be worth trying — the difference for me has been remarkable.
My dr. also mentions it helped one of his patient with long cov id who does not have energy crashes anymore, amazing!
Siim5/5
Customer service is amazing, promptly answered questions and advised- and the webinars were super helpful!
I would recommend putting the extra mouth masks for the carbohaler and the extra neck sleeves for the suit where they can be seen and purchased on your website. A friend got the suit and didn’t know she could buy an extra neck sleeve- maybe during the check out process, have a prompt that suggests adding these items to their cart?
I did the suit too often when I got it and had anxiety/fear- so now I’m doing it one time a week
Looking forward to when my carbohaler comes in!
Thank you for your product, it’s much needed in this world!

I’m a medical doctor from Italy and have struggled with epicondylitis (tennis elbow) from indoor climbing. During the CO₂ bath, it felt like my arm was healing in real time.
Using my €40,000 UltraSound device, I confirmed less water retention and reduced inflammation—clear signs of healing. Four days later, I climbed again, and my pain, which had been 4-5/10 for months, dropped to just 1 on the VAS scale.
