How does an Oxygen Bar work?
|
| An oxygen bar offers a way for people to receive “non-medicinal” recreational oxygen therapy. Generally it takes 3 to 5 minutes to oxygenate ones blood, however, a 10 minute session is recommended. By using a finger attached device called an Oximeter (Oxygen Meter), you can easily measure your oxygen level.

Nearly all Life is based on five basic elements -- Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, Hydrogen and Carbon. The air we normally breathe today consists of approximately 21% oxygen, as well as, Nitrogen, Argon and other trace gasses. Unfortunately, our Earth’s atmosphere is changing due to pollution, burning of fossil fuels and overall destruction of the ozone layer. Based on ice-core samples and old amber samples, scientists believe that our atmosphere has changed from nearly 40% oxygen to today's 19% to 21% Oxygen levels. Higher blood oxygen levels are believed to help us in many ways; see the benefits of Oxygen here. |

| Oxygen enables our cells to regenerate, rebuild, and metabolize our food and water supply into energy (a car uses oxygen in a similar way). Everyday we breathe 20,000 times and our blood carries the oxygen that fuels our body to produce energy and clean out waste and toxins. Oxygen makes up approximately 90% each water molecule in our body. And, water accounts for nearly 65-75% our body’s mass. Interestingly, our brain makes up only 2% of our total mass; however, it utilizes 20% of the body's oxygen consumption. As we get older, our lung's capacity to hold air volume is reduced. |

| Oxygen is clearly one of the most important elements for good health because it’s our primary source of energy. For example, try to hold your breath...eventually you will need to breath. It is estimated that approximately 85% to 90% of our energy comes from oxygen, while the remaining 10% to 15% comes from food and water. For this reason, you can live with out food and water for much longer in duration than you can hold your breath!

The oxygen produced by oxygen bars consists
of approximately 90% to 95% “non-medicinal”
oxygen. Consequently, the customer is able to
breathe 4 to 5 times the normal amount
of oxygen in regular air (only 21%). |

| The oxygen made by oxygen bars is produced from a non-medical device called an Oxygen Concentrator. These devices are based upon a NASA created technology called Pressure Swing Adsorption that essentially filters out the Nitrogen, Argon and other trace gasses from ambient air. After filtering out these other components, the oxygen concentrator produces an oxygen molecule which is approximately 92% to 95% pure. This pure oxygen is delivered to the participant through normal breathing by a nasal hose sometimes called a Nasal Cannula. The remaining Nitrogen and other gasses are released back into the atmosphere.

| Often, an Oxygen Bar includes scents and/or aroma therapy to further enhance the oxygen experience.

|
| Oxygen bars provide the recipients with an uplifted refreshed “energetic” feeling as well as increased energy,
detoxification and a general overall good feeling.
