“Indeed, the Lungs – including the respiratory tract and its bronchi – have their own filtration system and are meant to perform a crucial role in your body’s ongoing detox processes.

While the Liver and Kidneys are meant to be busy filtering your blood and keeping toxins out of the system, your Lungs are meant to be constantly filtering out carbon dioxide waste (in the form of toxic gas) and keeping every single cell of your body supplied with enough oxygen to survive.”

“Mitochondria from oxygen and lysosomes help remove waste form cells into the bloodstream and they are further excreted from the body by the liver and kidney”

“Alternating heat with cold infuses a vitalizing and refreshing aspect to the calming heat. Returning to the heat after a cold plunge deepens the detoxification and relaxation effects.”

Cold Plunge

  • Constricts blood vessels, pores and contracts muscles, essentially squeezing blood and lymph out of the system and making room for more oxygenated blood and nutrients to come into the cells, tissues and organs.
  • Reduces inflammation in muscles and joints, reducing pain from sprains or strains.
  • Increases levels of antioxidants.
  • Awakens, rejuvenates and invigorates the mind and emotions by releasing adrenaline.
  • Alternated with heat, the cold plunge produces contrast therapy which is exponentially beneficial, combining the benefits of heat and cold, as well as contrasting endorphins and adrenaline, to assist with a greater and more complete detox and more effective and deep emotional release and state of relaxation.

Oxygen is needed for every metabolic process. It helps to break down fat molecules and the blood then picks up the waste carbon dioxide to transport it out of the body via the lungs. The more oxygen we take in, the more fat our bodies are able to burn as the metabolic process is kicked into higher gear! Conversely, with less oxygen, the metabolic process slows down and fat storage takes hold leading to weight gain. Oxygen is the ‘food’ for our body cells. If our cells are surrounded by a good amount of oxygen our tissues and organs have an abundance of fuel to function efficiently.  

Oxygen neutralizes environmental toxins, and destroys infectious bacteria microbes and viruses while greatly enhancing the body’s absorption of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins and other important nutrients

(Oxygen) helps to reduce the amount of toxins in the body by increasing the circulation of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. This allows the body to flush out the toxins and impurities that have built up.

The many ways that Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy promotes healing:

Concentrated oxygen at a pressure of 1.3 ATA causes an increase in oxygen delivery to injured or hypoxic tissues at a level 400% deeper than our normal blood supply can penetrate. This utilizes the properties of liquids and gases under pressure (Henry’s Law), which causes oxygen (a gas) to become dissolved into fluids such as plasma, cerebrospinal and synovial fluid, creating a systemic saturation of the brain, nervous system, muscles, joints and organs, penetrating difficult to reach regions in an effort to promote healing.

1. Decreases Inflammation

2. Forces oxgyen 400% deeper into bodily tissues

3. Saturates plasma with oxygen and promotes healing of all tissue within the body

4. Increases White Blood cell Formation

5. Increases Stem Cell production and their transfer to the Central Nervous System

6. Direct production of stem cells in the brain

7. Anti-Microbial effect

8. Promotes Angiogenesis

9. Increases Blood Flow

10. Up-regulation of key antioxidant enzymes and decreases oxidative stress

11. Decreases bacterial/yeast load found systemically and in the gut

12. Decreases viral load found systemically

13. Increased production of serotonin

14. Overall detoxification and helps rid the body of mercury and other heavy metals
