OXYGEN THERAPY: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


DEFINING OXYGEN THERAPY

PURIFIED OXYGEN THERAPY- is a simple wellness session where you relax and breathe concentrated oxygen through a nasal cannula.  In medical environments, oxygen therapy refers to supplemental oxygen used when someone isn’t getting enough on their own.  In a wellness setting like ours, it’s offered at a gentle, comfortable flow to support clarity, relaxation, and an overall refreshed feeling.


  • AROMATHERAPY- is the use of light, plant‑based scents to create a calming or uplifting atmosphere. During oxygen therapy, a small amount of fragrance is infused into the oxygen flow so the air has a gentle scent as you breathe. It doesn’t change how the oxygen works — it simply adds a soothing sensory element.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DOES OXYGEN THERAPY WORK?    Oxygen therapy works by delivering a smooth, concentrated flow of purified oxygen through a soft nasal cannula. The oxygen passes through a bubbling water chamber, which adds light humidity so the air feels soft and easy to breathe.  If you choose aromatherapy, a gentle, plant-based scent is added directly to the water chamber so the oxygen carries a light, calming fragrance as you breathe. You simply relax and breathe normally while the oxygen provides a clean, refreshing respiratory experience.

WHAT DOES OXYGEN THERAPY FEEL LIKE?    Most patients notice a light pressure of cool air flowing into the nose — not uncomfortable, just a soft, steady breeze that feels calming and restorative. If you choose aromatherapy, the oxygen carries a subtle, plant‑based scent that adds a gentle sensory touch to the experience.

DO I NEED A MEDICAL CONSULTATION BEFORE RECEIVING OXYGEN THERAPY?   All patients complete a brief medical consultation with one of our providers once per calendar year.  This review ensures oxygen therapy is safe and appropriate for you based on your health history and current medications.  A $30 consultation fee applies.  Your annual consultation clears you for IV hydration therapy, vitamin injections, and oxygen therapy for the entire calendar year.

IS OXYGEN THERAPY SAFE?    YES.  Oxygen therapy is a gentle, wellness‑focused treatment that is safely administered at a low, comfortable flow.  The oxygen passes through a bubbling water chamber that lightly humidifies the air, helping keep your nose from drying out during the session. 

WILL THE NASAL CANNULA BE COMFORTABLE?   The nasal cannula is soft, flexible, and designed for comfort.  Most patients describe the airflow as a gentle, steady breeze and may notice a light tickling sensation at first — but they adjust within seconds.

CAN I PAIR OXYGEN THERAPY WITH AN IV OR VITAMIN INJECTION?     YES. Oxygen therapy is a simple, calming add‑on that fits seamlessly into any IV or injection appointment. The session is short, comfortable, and designed to enhance your overall visit without interrupting your treatment.
