Can soda water be used for drinking as CO2-enriched water?
Respiderm™ applies a purified pharmaceutical grade carbon dioxide that is registered in the European, US, and Japan Medicine Book and has been used worldwide in hospitals and medical care facilities since decades. Warm water at approximately 37C (95F) is used in CO2 Balneotherapy. Opening a bottle of soda water and warming the water allows carbon dioxide to escape, making the water ineffective and useless. On the other hand, if the bottle is warmed without removing the cap, there is a danger that the rise in internal pressure could cause the bottle to burst. Under no circumstances should this be tried!
