Hydrogen inhalation therapy, or molecular hydrogen therapy, is a therapy that uses the antioxidant properties of hydrogen. During an H2 therapy session, a person inhales a mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen (a ratio of 2 to 1) through a nasal cannula, usually for about 15 minutes. The therapy significantly increases the level of molecular hydrogen in the body.

Hydrogen therapy has even been found to lead to the presence of hydrogen in the bloodstream and brain tissue. Because hydrogen is such a small molecule, it can move freely in cells. Therefore, it can help remove harmful toxins and free radicals, which cause disease and ageing.

Stress, injuries and other natural processes lead to an imbalance of free radicals at the cellular level. As a result, this accumulation of radicals results in cellular dysfunction, which can promote ageing, delay healing, cause age-related neurodegenerative diseases and more. By inhaling hydrogen gas, you bring it directly into your bloodstream, allowing it to quickly reach various organs and tissues.

Benefits of molecular hydrogen inhalation therapy

Research has shown that hydrogen inhalation has numerous benefits. Researchers have investigated its use for brain damage, its antioxidant properties and much more.

Ultimately, the antioxidant properties of hydrogen are the biggest health benefit. As we age, are exposed to environmental pollution or follow unhealthy diets, free radicals in the body increase. Because hydrogen selectively neutralises harmful free radicals, molecular hydrogen is believed to be good for overall well-being and can help reverse age-related diseases and conditions.

Some of the general health benefits of molecular hydrogen include:

Antioxidant properties: As an antioxidant, hydrogen inhalation therapy can help protect cells from damage that can lead to various diseases, and it is one of the reasons why it is considered a powerful anti-ageing therapy.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Hydrogen inhalation therapy can have anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, hydrogen can be beneficial in conditions characterised by chronic inflammation such as arthritis and chronic pain.
Improved athletic performance: According to one study, inhaling hydrogen for a short period of time improved trunk strength and running efficiency in healthy people. This benefit could be due to hydrogen's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce exercise-induced inflammation and oxidative stress.

Complementary treatments
Hydrogen inhalation is also widely investigated as a complementary option to traditional treatments. The main benefits of hydrogen inhalation therapy for diseases include:

Prevention of neurodegenerative diseases: Hydrogen therapy may be useful for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. For example, research has shown positive results for Parkinson's disease in animal models; however, a pilot study found no difference when used in a randomised double-blind model.
Metabolic syndrome: Some studies suggest that hydrogen therapy could help improve symptoms of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
Neuroprotective effects: Some studies suggest that hydrogen therapy may have protective effects on the brain. For example, hydrogen can reduce damage after traumatic brain injury. Moreover, hydrogen has been shown to reduce symptoms in acute neuronal disorders such as cerebral infarction.
Cancer treatment: Recent research suggests that molecular hydrogen inhalation is beneficial for cancer patients. In vivo studies have found evidence that H2 can help reduce tumour growth. Moreover, it has been shown to help with the side effects of chemo & radiation therapy.

Here is a brief overview of how hydrogen therapy works:

Inhalation: You inhale hydrogen gas or consume hydrogen water or saline solution. H2 enters the body: The tiny hydrogen molecules travel easily through your body, through cell membranes and into your cells.
Antioxidant cleansing: Once inside your cells, hydrogen can neutralise harmful substances called free radicals and act as a small, powerful antioxidant.
Protection of cells: By neutralising these free radicals, hydrogen is believed to protect cells from damage caused by these free radicals.
Reducing inflammation: Hydrogen can also help reduce inflammation in your body, which can help with healing and recovery.
Balanced health: Over time, these actions can potentially help improve health and prevent certain diseases. However, short-term benefits include better sleep, more energy and an improved complexion.
