Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy is based on the premise that harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi are anaerobic and can only thrive in low oxygen environments. Therefore to maintain good health, the human body requires a rich supply of oxygen.
The principle upon which oxygen therapy is based is that higher the oxygen levels in our bodies, the more resistant we become to viruses and harmful bacteria.
Oxygen Treatment
People suffering with lung problems tend to have to work much harder than others to get the oxygen intake that is vital to every cell in our bodies. Exertion such as walking and coughing can lead to breathlessness. Some people have found that breathing a higher concentration of oxygen can reduce these symptoms. Your doctor or chest specialist will advise if extra oxygen is appropriate for your condition.
If you are considering self administering Oxygen Therapy it is important that you discuss the matter with your specialist and are fully assessed to see whether portable oxygen is likely to be helpful.
