On a longer term basis, oxygen
flushes impurities and toxins (Free Radicals) out of the blood which are
recognized as a major factor in causing many forms of cancer. If you
are young and healthy, your body does this naturally. As you age,
and your normal blood oxygen level declines; you are more susceptible to
the causes of cancer. Oxygen does not cure cancer, but it can
prevent some forms of cancer from starting and your recovery from
treatment can be greatly enhanced.
Oxygen is also has an
anti-inflammatory benefit. Oxygen accelerates ones healing
abilities. When one pumps iron, you are advised to wait a day before
working out again. With oxygen, the muscles heal faster and your can
work out more regularly. Many believe that oxygen will help people
recovering from chemotherapy and surgery and speed their recovery.
Weight loss is another unheralded benefit of
Oxygen Party Bars. As we age, our metabolism slows down and we tend
to gain weight. Concurrently with this aging process, our blood
oxygen level declines. By raising the oxygen levels in the blood,
the body burns calories more efficiently and we can reverse some of the
weight gaining process that accompanies aging. If one watches his
diet they can experience weight loss on a slow natural level when combined
with a 10 minute weekly sessions of oxygen.
The 95% level is important as that
is the point where oxygen becomes a regulated gas and a doctors
prescription is required. Levels above 95% are classified as medical
oxygen and levels below 95% are classified as recreational oxygen and do
not require regulation. The oxygen concentrators used by oxygen
party bars are designed for recreational oxygen use only.
The Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic
Act says that any type of oxygen used by people for breathing and
administered by another person is a prescription drug. However the
American Pharmaceutical Association which regulates prescriptions does not
require a doctors prescription unless more than 95% oxygen is
administered. It seems only natural a cutoff level is appropriate,
because our atmosphere is recognized at 21% oxygen and that does not
require a prescription to breath.
The one area you should be concerned
is the canula. Oxygen Party Bars do not recycle the nose canulas.
Every new customer should receive a new sanitary nose canula. Obviously, you do not want to use a nose canula that has been in someone
else's nose. When you are done with your oxygen session, you are
usually given the nose canula as a souvenir to keep.
The Pharmaceutical Good
Manufacturing Practice requires that oxygen party bars use a fresh canula
with each new customer. Canulas are designed to be disposable and
recycling of canulas is not allowed.
Oxygen in its pure form is dry, and
the American Lung Association says that oxygen in excess of 4 hours can be
an irritant to ones lungs, When receiving oxygen from an oxygen
party bar, the oxygen is usually sent through an aroma scented liquid
which is increasing the humidity level and preventing the oxygen from
being an irritant. The 4 hour limit is probably a good rule to follow
because we don't want to get excessive on any one thing.
If one was to receive 4 hrs of
oxygen a day, every day, their lungs would probably adjust to the higher
oxygen levels and they could find themselves short of breath when walking.
This is the same effect as going to a higher altitude. Ones lungs
will adjust to the level of oxygen present and excessive oxygen is not a
good thing. Fortunately this is not a permanent problem and your
lungs will adjust to normal when the excessive oxygen is stopped. We
recommend one 10 minute oxygen session once or twice a week for most
people.
The aroma scented liquids used in an
oxygen party bar are made with food byproducts and no oils or chemicals
are used to create the aromas. This is important to know as many
aromas used in aromatherapy are oil based and should not be inhaled.
Oxygen party bars combine food byproducts such as orange peals and
distilled water to generate the aromas. Being oil and chemical free,
it is safe to inhale the aroma scented oxygen provided at oxygen party
bars.
Many informed experts compare the
oxygen party bar trend with bottled water 25 years ago. As people
became aware of the benefits of bottled water, they quit drinking tap
water and started paying $1 for a small bottle of water. Today
people are recognizing the benefits of breathing increased levels of
oxygen and are building oxygen party bars into private homes to help
improve their quality of life.
Oxygen party bar rentals is another
growing trend in the industry. Many fairs, festivals and concerts
now have oxygen party bars, and people are starting to rent oxygen party
bars for their parties. Most oxygen party bars are stationary in a
brick and mortar business, however, to meet the needs of party rentals,
many portable oxygen bars are now setup to cater to private events. You can find them by searching

If
you have been to Las Vegas lately and seen the new trend in Oxygen Party
Bars, you have probably wondered how safe they are and if they live up to
their claims. Their claims are mainly to help with head aches,
hangovers, migraines, stress, fatigue, cramps, jet lag, heat exhaustion
and minor aches and pains. In most part these claims are true, and
the effect is surprisingly fast, about 3 to 5 minutes. However if
you are young and healthy, you probably don't need oxygen as your blood is
probably carrying the maximum amount of oxygen to the cells of your body.
