What is “GANBANYOKU”

GANBANYOKU is Japanese. Their meanings are, GAN = Rock, BAN= board, YOKU=Bath. Guests lie down on the bed made by special wormed rock. If we can say it by English, may be “Lying Sauna on the Warm Rock”.

In the history of GANBANYOKU, the treatment that hits the wormed stone, sand or the salt to the diseased part is roots in the world. In Japan, it seems to have been effective by the use of theses method considerably to ease stomachache, etc. in around 1955 when the medicine was not familiar as today.

Present popular GANBANYOKU changed to like that spread the straw mat or the bath towel, etc. on the flat warm rock heated by far-infrared radiation, lie down there around 1 hour, then sweat out the high perspiration like as the sauna.

These spas started from the natural hot radium spring spa to be better for fatal disease. Many patients lie down on the wormed rock by hot spring water.

In our artificial GANBANYOKU, steadily exhausts the body by heating the surface of the bedrock (plate) about 50 degree C (their substantial temperature is 42-45 degree C because it covered by the bath towel etc.) and lying down on there. Then guests can be gradually wormed up without any damage or stimulation to accelerate high perspiration, and the tiredness material or the body waste which are accumulated for long term, are exhausted with sweat.

The similar effects can be got by normal sauna, but their inside temperature is very high, 90-100 degree C, many guests will feel hard breath and exhaust their strength. If such a load can be slowly spent on the worm rock bed, wonderful high volume of sweat comes out! After the wiped sweat, their skins become smoothly, like as younger age.
