* Low pH (acidic) water
The low pH acidic water has been successfully used to soothe chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, dry skin, athlete's foot, diaper rash and sunburn. It also acts as a hair conditioner, relieving dry scalp, and as a astringent, reducing pore size for tighter skin. Low pH acidic water was used on over 22,000 patients at the Akashi Clinic a renowned medical facility in Japan, as part of a holistic regimen for patients with severe eczema. The study showed a significant improvement rate with no side effects. The therapy results were so successful that the Akashi clinic has continued this treatment method utilizing low pH water. Japanese researcher Dr. Koich Hanaoka who studied low pH acidic water for over 25 years, asserts "low pH acidic water is considered to play in important role in maintaining healthy skin. For example improving the barrier function of the skin by means of astriction allows us to expect healthier skin conditions.
* Antimicrobial Effect
For the past few years the use of electrolyzed oxidized water as an antimicrobial agent against several gram-negative and gram-positive pathogenic bacteria, fungi and viruses has been well established in Japan. A similar product introduced in the form of the hand held Charme system will become a most useful tool serving as protection against any adverse reaction caused by other regular skin cleaning agents and maintaining optimum skin health. ( Dr. Gabrial Fernandes PhD, Professor Dept. of medicine, division of Clinical Immunology, University of Texas health Science Center at San Antonio)
Low Ph acidic water is considered to play important role in maintaining healthy skin. For example, improving the "barrier function" of the skin by beans of astriction allows us to expect healthier skin conditions. More academic research in the field of dermatology will hopefully be conducted in the future. (Dr. Koichi Hanaoka, visiting professor Texas University School of medicine. Health Science Center)
Akashi Hospital in Hyogo, Japan conducted a three month clinical trial on 22 patients with atopic dermatitis. 530 effected areas on the body were measured. Clinical results data is shown below.
