6 Benefits of ReOxy Therapy, Treatment & What to Expect

Overview

ReOxy® is a respiratory therapy device that uses Intermittent Hypoxia Hyperoxia Training (IHHT) to improve cognitive function, physical performance, and overall well-being. It alternates between short periods of decreased oxygen (hypoxia) and increased oxygen (hyperoxia), triggering adaptive responses at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels. These adaptations improve oxygen utilisation, reduce oxidative stress, and strengthen the body’s resilience. Athletes, in particular, train using ReOxy® for improved endurance and performance. However, the benefits of ReOxy therapy extend beyond peak performance, aiding in post-COVID rehabilitation and enhancing overall health.

How it works

The phrase “Intermittent Hypoxia Hyperoxia Training” is almost a dead giveaway for how ReOxy® works. Hypoxia refers to low oxygen levels in the body, while hyperoxia refers to high oxygen levels. Our body can naturally adapt to these varied oxygen levels by undergoing physiological changes that enhance resilience. However, ReOxy® leverages this adaptive response by subjecting the body to alternating short periods of mild hypoxia (10–15% O₂) and recovery hypoxia (30–40% O₂).

The alternating reduced and enriched oxygen mixtures improve oxygen transport and utilisation in the body. During the recovery phase, the body receives a high oxygen supply, amplifying the benefits of the preceding hypoxia phase. 

Both gas mixtures are delivered through a facial mask, and the transition between them is controlled by artificial intelligence. Since each person is different, the ReOxy® AI customises oxygen levels based on their unique medical and personal needs, ensuring a fully tailored experience.

Benefits of ReOxy Therapy

ReOxy® therapy has offered many benefits in sports and medicine in recent years.:

1. Improves endurance and stamina

By inducing hypoxia, ReOxy® stimulates hormesis, a process in which mild stressors trigger adaptive responses that improve the body’s ability to handle stress. These responses include improved oxygen utilisation, metabolic function, and mitochondrial function. Ultimately, they contribute to greater endurance and stamina, long-term wellness, and faster recovery from stress or an intense workout.

2. Improves respiratory function

ReOxy’s alternating hypoxia-hyperoxia cycles may boost haemoglobin production, lung capacity, and respiratory muscle strength. Over time, these adaptations can help your body use oxygen more efficiently and reduce breathlessness.

3. Boosts overall health

ReOxy’s benefits span several areas that cumulatively improve quality of life. In addition to helping patients build resilience and energy levels without exercise, ReOxy® can also alleviate cardiovascular risks, improve sleep, and enhance cognitive function.

4. Reduces biological ageing

ReOxy® therapy is linked to enhanced cell repair and regeneration and reduced oxidative stress, which helps slow biological ageing.

5. Enhances cognitive function

During ReOxy® therapy, more oxygen is supplied to the brain, aiding neural plasticity and reducing oxidative stress. This can improve mental clarity, memory, and focus, which may benefit seniors with dementia.

6. Aids post-COVID rehabilitation

ReOxy® can also benefit those recovering from COVID-19 by helping restore their lung capacity and energy levels and improve respiratory function. 

Recently, a controlled study was conducted on 145 patients with long-term COVID-19 who were admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation programme. Seventy-five of them were assigned to standard care, while the rest were assigned to standard care and IHHT. The IHHT group showed significantly lower blood pressure and heart rate and higher haemoglobin levels, which weren’t observed in the control group.

What to Expect

At Reju, each ReOxy® session lasts 40 minutes. Our team helps you settle into a comfortable reclining chair, where you’ll be fitted with a soft facial mask that delivers precise oxygen mixtures. Before starting, the ReOxy® device assesses your oxygen levels and automatically adjusts its settings to suit your unique needs.

The therapy alternates between two phases: hypoxia and hyperoxia. During the hypoxia phase, the machine gradually reduces the oxygen concentration in the air you breathe (10–15% O₂). This controlled oxygen reduction stimulates adaptive physiological responses, which trains your body to use oxygen more efficiently. After a set duration, the session transitions to the hyperoxia phase, where the oxygen concentration is increased (30–40% O₂). This enriched oxygen supply enhances recovery, boosts energy production, and reinforces the benefits of the hypoxia phase.

Throughout the session, the ReOxy® AI system will continuously monitor your body’s response and fine-tune oxygen levels in real-time, ensuring your safety and the best results. Once the session is complete, the oxygen supply will gradually return to normal, and you can take a moment to relax before continuing with your day.

For maximum comfort, we recommend wearing loose, breathable clothing. Since the session is passive, you’re welcome to bring a book, listen to music, or watch something while you relax. However, if you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor before using ReOxy® therapy.
