Hydrogen inhalation therapy
Hydrogen inhalation therapy has gained attention for its potential health benefits. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Antioxidant Properties :
– Hydrogen acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from harmful reactive oxygen species.
– Inhaling hydrogen gas has been shown to suppress brain injuries through its antioxidant effects³.
2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects :
– Hydrogen inhalation has anti-inflammatory properties, which can improve lung and cardiovascular health.
– It also reduces inflammation throughout the body, making it a valuable addition to overall health regimens².
3. How Hydrogen Therapy Works :
– Hydrogen can be administered in various ways:
– Drinking Hydrogen Water : Dissolving molecular hydrogen tablets in water allows it to act as a carrier. Ingesting it increases hydrogen concentration within minutes.
– Inhalation : Inhaling low concentrations (1-4%) of hydrogen gas is common. The initial peak of hydrogen activation lasts about an hour, but its protective effects continue for an extended time.
– Bathing in Hydrogen Water : Some opt for hydrogen-infused baths.
– Hyperbaric Hydrogen Chambers : These chambers provide high-pressure hydrogen exposure.
– Intravenous Injection of Hydrogen-Rich Saline : Used in clinical settings.
– Increasing Intestinal Bacterial Hydrogen Production : Certain foods, like turmeric, can enhance hydrogen production by intestinal bacteria¹.
Remember that hydrogen inhalation should be done with proper guidance, and the concentration matters. Studies recommend a minimum flow rate and specific volume by concentration for therapeutic benefits⁴. As always, consult a healthcare professional before starting any new therapy.
