Frequently Asked Questions

What is an oxygen bar?

An oxygen bar offers non-medical oxygen infused with aromatherapy. The air we normally breathe contains about 21% oxygen. The oxygen at an oxygen bar is between 90% and 98% oxygen, allowing you to breathe 4 to 5 times the normal amount of oxygen.

Why do I need more oxygen?

It seems a bit strange at first...after all, oxygen is all around us. The fact that you're still alive and kicking means you're getting enough, right? Science shows that increasing the oxygenation level in your body has numerous benefits. It's the secret to a young, fresh appearance, healthy cell composition, mental alertness, increased physical stamina, and boosting your immune system. Athletes and celebrities have been enjoying oxygen's benefits for years.

Who needs more oxygen?

Virtually everybody could use more oxygen for overall well-being and to relieve stress. Studies have shown that individuals in certain circumstances can definitely benefit from oxygenating their bodies. People who live in polluted cities, who want to detoxify their bodies, trying to lose weight, who suffer from migraine and cluster headaches, allergy sufferers, athletes and body-builders, frequent flyers, people who require maximum mental alertness or who need extreme physical stamina and endurance can benefit from oxygen.

How does it make you feel?

Breathing higher concentrations of oxygen has several benefits; the most commonly reported benefits are increased energy, an uplifted, refreshed, and rejuvenating feeling, clearing of the mind, relief of toxic headaches such as the hangover, relief of stress, and promotion of higher concentration levels. Oxygen therapy can provide a feeling of inner peace, alertness, and calming of the mind and is also a proven detoxifier and has anti-aging properties.

How long will the oxygen benefit last?

There are many variables on how long the oxygen session benefits last. How long you are on the oxygen bar, how low your oxygen blood level was to begin with, how well or deep you are breathing, etc.

The benefit will have varying durations on the length it will last depending on the individual. The feeling of alertness and mental clarity has been shown to last several minutes to several hours. If you have a headache or altitude discomfort the higher concentration of oxygen will reduce or eliminate the symptoms all together.

​

 

Where do you get the oxygen?

The oxygen in oxygen bars comes from self-contained machines called oxygen concentrators (non-medical), not high-pressure cylinders, so our products are completely safe. These non-medical concentrators use a technology called Pressure Swing Adsorption, a NASA-created technology that filters out Nitrogen, Argon, and other trace gases from the ambient air. This technology then puts the separated oxygen molecule to 90%-98% purity to the recipient and the Nitrogen and other gasses get released back into the atmosphere.

​

 

Is breathing oxygen in an oxygen bar harmful?

There are no risks and no adverse effects with the short-term use of oxygen. The American Lung Association has said that breathing oxygen from an oxygen bar for less than 30 minutes (one oxygen bar session) has no harmful effects and there is no evidence that oxygen used in bars can be dangerous to a normal person's health.
