Unlocking the Benefits of Hydrogen Inhalation at OxygenWell's Calabasas Location
By Dr. Beth Meneley, DAOM, L.Ac., Founder of OxygenWell
We’re excited to introduce our Hydrogen Inhalation Station at our new Calabasas location! If you’ve been looking for ways to support your overall health and combat chronic diseases, hydrogen inhalation therapy may be the next step in your wellness journey. At OxygenWell, we believe in offering cutting-edge, integrative therapies, and hydrogen inhalation is one of the most exciting treatments available today.
This therapy is synergistic with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and can enhance the body’s ability to reduce inflammation, detoxify, and promote cellular repair. In this blog, we’ll explore how hydrogen inhalation works, why it’s beneficial for chronic disease management, and how it differs from hydrogen water, including Quicksilver Scientific's H2 Elite Hydrogen Tablets (a product we also offer).
What Is Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy?
Hydrogen inhalation therapy involves breathing in molecular hydrogen (H2) gas, which has been shown to act as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing harmful free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. The therapy has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and cellular protective effects, making it an excellent option for those dealing with chronic conditions such as:
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes
Neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's)
Autoimmune disorders
Chronic fatigue syndrome
By neutralizing harmful free radicals, hydrogen inhalation helps reduce oxidative damage at the cellular level, improving the body's ability to heal and regenerate. It also supports detoxification pathways, further promoting cellular health.
How Hydrogen Inhalation Helps with Chronic Diseases
Chronic diseases are often linked to increased levels of oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Over time, this can lead to cellular damage, weakened immunity, and a decline in overall health. Hydrogen inhalation works by targeting the root causes of many chronic conditions:
Neutralizing Free Radicals: Molecular hydrogen selectively targets harmful free radicals like hydroxyl radicals (OH) without affecting beneficial signaling molecules. This unique action helps minimize cellular damage and reduces the risk of diseases driven by oxidative stress.
Reducing Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is a major driver of diseases like arthritis, cardiovascular conditions, and autoimmune disorders. Hydrogen has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help the body recover from inflammation and promote healing at the cellular level.
Supporting Mitochondrial Health: Hydrogen improves mitochondrial function, enhancing the body’s ability to produce ATP (cellular energy), which is vital for tissue repair and overall energy production.
Synergy with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
When paired with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), hydrogen inhalation becomes even more powerful. HBOT delivers 100% oxygen under increased pressure, promoting healing, cellular repair, and reducing inflammation. Hydrogen inhalation complements HBOT by further reducing oxidative stress and supporting mitochondrial function. This combination allows the body to recover faster, detoxify more effectively, and regenerate healthier cells.
Why this synergy matters:
Hydrogen targets harmful free radicals, while HBOT delivers the oxygen necessary for tissue repair and energy production.
Together, they optimize cellular health by reducing damage from oxidative stress and increasing oxygen delivery, making them a potent combination for anyone dealing with chronic conditions or recovering from illness or injury.
Hydrogen Inhalation vs. Hydrogen Water: What’s the Difference?
You might have heard about hydrogen water and wonder how it differs from hydrogen inhalation. While both forms of therapy involve molecular hydrogen, there are some key differences:
Hydrogen inhalation delivers a higher concentration of molecular hydrogen directly into the bloodstream through the lungs, offering more immediate and targeted effects.
Hydrogen water involves drinking water infused with molecular hydrogen, which is absorbed through the digestive system. While still effective, it offers a lower concentration of hydrogen compared to inhalation.
At OxygenWell, we also offer Quicksilver Scientific's H2 Elite Hydrogen Tablets, a high-quality hydrogen water supplement designed to deliver hydrogen directly into your digestive system. These hydrogen water tablets can still be beneficial for reducing oxidative stress and promoting overall wellness, but hydrogen inhalation provides a more potent and direct therapeutic benefit for those needing higher hydrogen concentrations.
Quicksilver Scientific's H2 Elite Hydrogen Tablets
We proudly carry Quicksilver Scientific’s H2 Elite Hydrogen Tablets, a leading product in the field of hydrogen water. These tablets dissolve in water, providing a convenient way to consume molecular hydrogen on a daily basis. The H2 Elite tablets are unique because they are formulated for fast absorption and deliver hydrogen molecules that can help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, just like hydrogen inhalation.
While hydrogen water is an excellent option for daily antioxidant support, hydrogen inhalation provides higher concentrations of H2 gas, making it ideal for more targeted therapeutic purposes, especially when addressing chronic conditions.
