Breathe new life.

HBOT sessions usually last between 60 and 90 minutes, and always less than two hours. Hydrogen inhalation sessions last approximately 45 minutes. Your first visit may need additional time for a discussion and preparation. We will confirm the full appointment time with you.

As with any wellness session, there is always some level of risk. HBOT is not completely without risk.

The main hazards presented are to people with specific health problems, such as pneumothorax (collapsed lung) or any ear trouble, such as middle or outer ear infections.

Your safety is paramount, and a risk assessment is carried out accordingly before your first session, with all risks being discussed with you before you sign your consent form.

Fatigue and light-headedness are possible. Less often, more serious problems can occur.

The risk of side effects is lower when:

• A session lasts no more than two hours
• The pressure stays below three times normal atmospheric pressure

Our sessions always last less than two hours, and our chamber never exceeds 1.9 ATA, well within both limits. This lowers the risk but does not remove it, so we review your health information before your first session. Tell us straight away about any discomfort during a session.

In studies, hydrogen at low, controlled concentrations has generally been well tolerated. Some people report dizziness, drowsiness or headaches. Tell us straight away if you feel unwell during a session.

Hydrogen gas becomes flammable at higher concentrations, so it should only be delivered by equipment designed for the purpose.

Speak to your doctor before a session, and tell us, if you:

• have a digestive condition or an active infection
• have severe COPD, pulmonary fibrosis or another significant lung condition, or use supplemental oxygen
• take medication for diabetes or blood pressure
• are pregnant or breastfeeding
• take immunosuppressant medication, for example after an organ transplant

Hydrogen inhalation is not a replacement for medical treatment. Do not stop or change prescribed medication without speaking to your doctor.

As chamber pressure changes, you may feel fullness in your ears, similar to the sensation during a flight. We explain what to expect before the session. Tell us promptly if you feel discomfort or cannot equalise your ears.

Tell us before arranging a session. We can discuss the chamber, communication during a session and your concerns. There is no need to make a decision before you have that information.

Ask for the preparation instructions for your chosen session. Clothing, personal products and items permitted near or inside equipment depend on its safety requirements. Follow the guidance provided before your visit.

Our sessions are for wellness and relaxation: time to lie back or sit back, breathe and unwind. No result is promised, and a session is not a medical treatment. If you are considering either service because of a health concern, speak to your doctor first.

Ask us about the introductory options currently available. We will explain eligibility, what is included and any cost before you decide.
