Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT) offers support for many chronic conditions, including:
- Diabetes Mellitus (both insulin-dependent and insulin-independent diabetes)
- COPD / Bronchial Asthma
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Exhaustion, not only as a result of chemotherapy
- High Blood Pressure
- Heart Failure
- Stress and Burnout
- Overweight
- Lyme Disease
- Age-related Macular Degeneration
- Skin Aging
IHHT involves artificial altitude training, where the patient alternates between breathing oxygen-poor air, as in high altitudes, and normal or oxygen-rich air through a mask. This process triggers various adaptation mechanisms due to the genetically inherent response to oxygen deficiency. The main adaptations include:
- Renewal of mitochondria
- Increase in insulin receptors
- Increase in ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10)
- Regulation of the autonomic nervous system
- Enhancement of fat metabolism
These are adaptation processes similar to intense physical training. However, you remain comfortably seated in a chair throughout the treatment, can relax, and even sleep if desired.
A typical treatment cycle consists of 10-14 sessions, each lasting 40-50 minutes.
