Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy can play a vital role in maintaining your well-being. Oxygen, along with food, is the primary nutrient that cells use to generate energy. With oxygen therapy, the energy production is through oxidation of the unhealthy cells. The burn is incomplete without the main fuel, oxygen. While the oxidation process takes place throughout your system, anti oxidants are protecting the cells.

Antioxidants also act as a cooling or regulating system for maintaining the metabolic temperature at a constant level, which prevents over oxidation from occurring. Your system, then has to remove the debris left behind from the oxidation process.
