What is an Oxygen Bar?
Oxygen bars originated in Japan about fifty years ago. Oxygen bars are designed for the inhalation of high purity oxygen (not medical oxygen) to reduce headaches, alleviate hangovers, clear the mind, increase stamina and energy, provide energy for healthy cells, detoxify, and promote a sense of well-being. The oxygen bar also serves aromatherapies to enhance the senses. The combination of aromatherapies and oxygen are designed to provide a life-promoting experience to unify the body, mind and spirit. Is it safe to breathe pure oxygen? Breathing pure oxygen is considered safe when used for short periods (less than 60 minutes) through a nasal cannula. Oxygen can be an irritant to the lungs with long exposure (more than several hours at a time). A typical session is 5 to 20 minutes which is considered adequate to displace harmful free radicals, neutralize environmental bacteria, and heighten concentration.
