Stress relief
STRESS RELIEF = OXYGEN THERAPY
In this article we will look at how inhaled oxygen can be beneficial towards mental state of mind.Stress is a ubiquitous phenomenon in today's society. Prolonged exposure to it can lead to a range of health problems, including mental and physical illness.
Various methods such as meditation, exercise or therapy are commonly used to reduce it.
One of the less traditional but effective methods is pure oxygen inhalation.
How does our oxygen counteract stress?
Oxygen is essential for the proper functioning of our bodies.
Increased oxygen intake can improve brain function, increase energy, improve the body's regeneration and even increase the body's ability to detoxify.
In the context of stress, additional oxygen can help the body respond better to stressful situations, improve concentration and contribute to an overall feeling of relaxation.
Practical use of inhaled oxygen
Easily portable
Inhaled oxygen is commonly supplied in vials that are easily portable and can be used at any time of the day.
When using it, it is important to follow a few guidelines:
One deep breath of inhaled oxygen is enough, when we breathe in slowly and inaudibly.
As you exhale, keep your mouth closed and slowly breathe out into the body.
It is advisable to close your eyes to calm down so that you can feel your body better.
Why observe this?
If you breathe loudly and your chest starts to heave as you breathe, this can lead to increased oxygenation of the body and especially the brain, causing a stressful situation. We therefore recommend deep, inaudible breathing.Conclusion
Oxygen inhalation can be a useful adjunct to traditional methods of stress reduction. It is also important to emphasise that although oxygen inhalation can be beneficial for some people, it should never replace professional medical care or treatment as determined by health professionals, especially for people with chronic health problems or those experiencing serious mental health problems.
For those who want to try this approach, it is essential to inform themselves about the quality and concentration of the oxygen they are about to use and the best practices for inhaling it.
Choosing the right product is key to maximising the potential benefits and minimising the risks.
Last but not least, it is important to combine oxygen inhalation with other proven stress management strategies such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate sleep and deep breathing techniques.
These methods can work synergistically together to support your mental health and increase your resilience to stress.
