FAQs

Oxygen is essential for life. Every day adults consume an average of 2kg of food, 1 litre of water and almost 550 litres of oxygen. 90% of our daily energy comes from oxygen, and the rest is from food and water. The human brain uses 25% of the oxygen we breathe alone.

Oxygen is what contracts our muscles, repairs our cells, feeds our brains, and even calms our nerves. It is also our chief cleansing tool. Every day our body burns off approximately 700 billion old cells. These old cells are toxic and must be removed from our system, so if there is low oxygen in the body it struggles to do so and can lead to disease, infection and tissue destruction.

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) is a pressurised environment below a pressure setting of 1.4 ATA.

 In this environment, oxygen is dissolved into the blood plasma creating a dual carrier system and increasing the oxygen concentration in our body.

 The increase in oxygen supports the body’s innate ability to heal and regenerate faster, and supercharges our energy output.

Improvements will vary for each person and will depend on other lifestyle factors, health state and personal goals.

When used for general health and wellbeing purposes, our clients typically experience increased energy and vitality, improved concentration, enhanced sense of relaxation, deeper sleep, and improvements in their general wellbeing. mHBOT can also greatly complement other therapies and treatment regimes. 

People who are recovering from injury or surgery, often report a marked reduction in inflammation, pain and discomfort , speeding up recovery time.

As the AirPod is a wellness device, we ask our clients to seek approval from their physician before use, especially if they have an underlying medical issue.

The important thing to remember is not to panic — the AirPod will automatically start to depressurise in the event of a power outage.

Once the pressure has decreased to 1.00, simply pull down on the edge of the door above your head, and this will release any final pressure remaining in the AirPod.

Once the door is safely open and in a secure position, please leave the AirPod.

In the event you would like to accelerate the depressurisation process, there is also a ‘red’ ‘Emergency Release Valve’ next to the internal control unit. This will provide a manual release of pressure that you control.

The AirPod creates a pressurised environment (up to 1.35 ATA) that safely and naturally increases the availability of oxygen that can be dissolved and carried in the blood plasma, not just red blood cells.

Whether or not to remove glasses or contact lenses is a matter of personal preference. However, we ask that you please take care when entering and exiting the AirPod to avoid damage or breakage to glasses.

And it’s a good idea to remove contact lenses if your eyes become irritated.

Yes! Smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices can all be used safely in the AirPod.

It is recommended that you wear loose, comfortable clothing.

There is adequate space to sit upright or to lie down comfortably. Take a book or magazine into the AirPod, meditate, listen to music, type away on your laptop, tablet or smartphone or simply fall asleep.

Oxygen and Hydrogen therapy (Hydroxy) is safe to use everyday for up to 60 minutes. The molecular hydrogen will target the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) to alleviate the potential of oxidative stress that is a by-product of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapies.

 Yes. You can safely combine these modalities in any order.

Yes, these two modalities can be combined, however, we highly recommended using the AirPod first followed by the Infrared sauna.

One of the major safety features of the mHBOT is that it uses ambient air as the oxygen source, not supplementary oxygen. As a result, we remove the fire risk associated with the use of pure oxygen.

Side effects are rare but not unheard of. Please refer to our Standard Operating Procedures Manual for further information regarding the appropriate steps to manage any issues that arise and ensure you provide a positive client experience. Some things that clients infrequently report are:

Middle Ear Discomfort

When pressure is increasing at the start of the session, a client might feel middle ear discomfort.

The pressure change is similar to what we experience when flying, and there are ways to clear our ears such as yawning and swallowing. In addition, you can press the Ear Vent button to adjust to the changing pressure conditions.

In the event that the ear discomfort does not cease, please conclude the AirPod session and refer to our Standard Operating Procedures Manual for further information.

Claustrophobia

Some clients may experience claustrophobia. We would advise you to maintain contact with your client and reassure them, as required, to help alleviate any concerns.

Detoxification

If a client is experiencing high toxicity, they may feel unwell after the session due to the release and removal of heavy metals from their system.

If a client feels unwell, we recommend advising them to drink at least one glass of water to assist with the cleansing process.

In addition, a probiotic or similar supplement can assist with gut health and ease the effects of detoxification, in collaboration with a physician.
