Hydrogen therapy
Hydrogen therapy is an innovative health optimization method that uses molecular hydrogen to support the body’s cells and tissues. It is becoming an increasingly well-known approach for supporting and restoring health. Hydrogen therapy has found applications in areas ranging from cancer treatment and lung diseases to neurological disorders, anti-aging, and cosmetic therapies.
In 2007, a research team led by Dr. Ikuroh Ohsawa published an article in Nature Medicine, demonstrating that inhaling molecular hydrogen (H₂) significantly reduced brain damage in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The study found that inhaling 2–4% hydrogen gas reduced the volume of cerebral infarction, offering protection against oxidative stress associated with brain injury. This discovery highlighted hydrogen’s potential as a selective antioxidant, capable of neutralizing harmful hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻) without disrupting the body’s normal redox processes.
Following this study, scientific interest in hydrogen therapy grew substantially, leading to numerous further studies on the therapeutic properties of hydrogen in various disease models and clinical settings. Hydrogen therapy has been studied for over 170 diseases, and more than 3,000 scientific articles have been published on the subject. While still relatively new in the field of medical applications, hydrogen therapy holds great potential, and research continues to confirm its benefits.
When can it help?
Hydrogen therapy is suitable for anyone looking to improve their body’s balance. It helps enhance quality of life for both people with illnesses and healthy individuals and has been used in areas ranging from cancer treatment, diabetes, and lung diseases to neurological conditions, anti-aging, and cosmetic therapies.
For patients with chronic conditions, it offers relief; for athletes, it supports recovery; and for those who value beauty, it provides a youthful glow.
How does it work?
Hydrogen can be used in various ways, such as inhaling hydrogen gas, drinking hydrogen-enriched water, injections, eye drops, or even H₂ baths.
Our focus is on drinking hydrogen-enriched water and inhaling hydrogen-oxygen gas.
Hydrogen is the smallest element in the universe; it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream and can pass through cell membranes to reach the nucleus, where it supports energy metabolism and has a healing effect on cells. It helps activate essential processes in the body, such as autophagy and apoptosis, which maintain cell health or help eliminate damaged cells.
Hydrogen helps neutralize harmful free radicals in the body and reduces oxidation and inflammation, similar to antioxidants. The advantage of hydrogen is that it is a selective antioxidant—it does not neutralize all free radicals but only the most harmful ones. Additionally, hydrogen helps reduce the production of harmful free radicals in the body and activates the Nrf signaling pathway, which supports the body’s natural production of antioxidants (such as glutathione).
It is important to note that hydrogen does not directly treat diseases, but rather supports the body’s natural processes that help the organism fight illnesses.
Contraindications
Hydrogen is a non-toxic gas and, therefore, cannot be harmful to humans. If there is an excess of hydrogen in the body, it is naturally expelled through breathing, the skin, and waste. In addition, the human body naturally produces hydrogen in the digestive system.
Useful to know
Adding oxygen to hydrogen helps optimize cellular metabolism and recovery processes, cellular respiration, and energy production. In the case of Brown’s gas, it is a natural gas mixture that more closely resembles the compounds found in the body. This synergistic effect can make the therapy more easily tolerated and feel more natural compared to pure hydrogen.
In summary, you can think of hydrogen as the building material, but on its own, it’s not enough to build a house—you also need energy and intelligence.
Our body has intelligence; it knows how to heal itself, meaning it knows how to build the house, where to direct the building materials, and which areas need the most support.
Oxygen provides the energy to build the house.
Interesting facts from science
Hydrogen therapy has proven antioxidant effects that significantly support the body’s anti-aging process.
Molecular hydrogen has scientifically proven antioxidant properties that help eliminate free radicals from the body. As a result, regular intake of hydrogen can prevent premature skin aging.
Today, over 1,600 scientific studies have confirmed that hydrogen also has strong therapeutic effects, helping the body combat many chronic diseases by supporting metabolism and the immune system.
Thousands of publications on “Hydrogen Therapy” and its undeniable benefits for human health have been published across various media outlets and reputable natural medicine platforms, including the Natural Medicine Journal, National Library of Medicine, and Nature Research.
