Why Hydrogen InhalationTherapy?
Ultimatum of Anti-oxidation – Hydrogen Inhalation
Anti-oxidation is the process that helps to prevent the increase of active oxygen that necessarily occurs during cell regeneration. It also can suppress over activity of active oxygen species. Anti-oxidation substances naturally occur in the body (SOD, catalase, peroxiredoxin, glutathione) during normal processes. However, one can also experience the anti-oxidation effect through stress management, intake of anti-oxidant foods, exercising, or healthy lifestyle. Additionally anti-oxidation supplements, medicine, and food products currently out in the market requires intake through mouth and sent down to digestive track. Anti-oxidation effect will only show once the product is thoroughly digested, absorbed, and transferred all around the body via blood vessels. The effect will differ based on one’s digestive/absorptive ability, thus anti-oxidant product might not reach a certain area of the body. Especially for patients with lowered metabolic activity, it is even harder to see the anti-oxidation effect. The water that we drink passes into stomach a certain agent (esophagus, in this case).
Hydrogen inhaled through the nose will absorb directly into the tubes that connect to neck and lungs. This in turn will immediately reach the eyes and brain. Hydrogen being the smallest element in the universe has the ability to easily permeate through skin, bone, muscle, organs, and vessels, reaching into our cells. For important organs such as the brain, there is a barrier which only allows certain substances in. The barrier blocks external factors from permeating in. Hydrogen however is a small molecule and can freely pass the brain barrier. This ability acts as anti-oxidant and functions the immune system also within the brain.
Most living things on earth breathe through oxygen.
Through Hydrogen Inhalation, in the electron of an organic matter that is ingested during process of making ATP (energy source Adenosine Triphosphate) at mitochondria is passed on to oxygen which produces energy.
Without sufficient amount, hydrogen inhalation therapy will not result in an expected outcome. The more you inhale, the better result you will see.
In recent research papers, hydrogen is effective in anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, auto-immune disease, chemotherapy side effects, competency of athletes, recovery of chronic fatigue, and acceleration of energy metabolism.

Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy Q&A
Using a Canulla you lay down on our comfortable therapy bed and breathe the mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen. Normal sessions are either 30 minutes or 60 minutes. Longer periods can be arranged.
It takes around 20 minutes for hydrogen to reach cells in all parts of your body.
- In hospitals and clinics in Japan, depending on the patient’s condition, hydrogen inhalation is performed for about 1 hour, 1 to 3 times a day.
- For athletes, pre/post-exercise, once each, 60 to 90 minutes per session
- 60 minutes prior to sleep for severe insomnia
- for normal health, once or twice a day (morning and night) 30 to 60 minutes per session
- For people during chemotherapy, brain diseases like Parkinson’s, or autoimmune diseases, 4 to 6 hours (during sleep) (the more the better, and less side effects)
At Massage Wellbeing Wellness Centre we offer 30 and 60 minute sessions. Extended sessions can be discussed.
Usually, 0.001g of hydrogen is present in 1 Litre (half of a large water bottle) of hydrogen water. This is barely a trace of hydrogen, and the size is similar to a speck of dust. Scientifically, in room temperature/pressure, maximum amount of hydrogen that can dissolve in 1 litre of water is 1.6mg (0.0016g). However, using 30 minutes of Hydrogen Inhalation, is equivalent of drinking 18,000 bottles of 2-liter hydrogen water bottles. If you want to use hydrogen for treatment or health purposes, hydrogen inhalation is the key.
It reverts overly formed active oxygen in the body, and acts as an anti-oxidant in cell signalling system within molecular cells. For people experiencing chemotherapy, it acts as a strong anti-oxidant and helps to manage chemotherapy side-effects, Parkinson’s brain diseases, pneumonia, and helps maintains immunity.
In a study of “hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture inhalation on chronic fatigue and fatigue from high intensity exercise”, it has proven that inhalation mitigates fatigue until one day after the inhalation. (Yamanshi University, Japan, General research center, from Dr. Koyama Katsuhiro’s study)
Through hydrogen inhalation, parasympathetic nerve, which takes care of sleep, is activated and the effect is optimal at the first 30 minutes.
“study on the acute effect of hydrogen inhalation on the human body” (Yamanashi University, Japan, General research center, part of Dr. Koyama Katsuhiro’s study)
There is a device that can be purchased that separates oxygen from hydrogen so that only pure hydrogen gets inhaled. This results in a low hydrogen generation rate, and it can also lead to hypoxia if large amounts of 99.9% pure hydrogen gas in inhaled. The machine that allows simultaneous inhalation of hydrogen and oxygen which we use at Massage Wellbeing Wellness Centre includes 66.66% hydrogen and 33.33% oxygen. This system has no harmful effects on the body when inhaled in large amounts. In Japan’s medical facilities, they use the same type of unit as Massage Wellbeing (simultaneous inhalation of oxygen and hydrogen) for a safe hydrogen inhalation treatment.
Theoretically, when the hydrogen concentration in the air is 4% to 75% explosion occurs at an ignition temperature of 572 °C. When the hydrogen concentration is around 4% to 94% then explosion occurs at ignition temperature of 560 °C. These values are measured in a vacuum environment. It is impossible to put hydrogen gas in a complete vacuum environment in every day situation, therefore reaching explosion concentration due to hydrogen leakage will not happen.
