Discoveries in Science

Explore the science behind Conscious Breathing and CO2 Therapy and its impact on mental and physical well-being. Dive into research that reveals how low and slow breathing, increased CO2 tolerance, and oxygen restriction, can reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance overall health by tapping into the body's natural healing mechanisms.

Restrict Oxygen for a Longer Life: The Science Behind It

Nothing is as important to us as oxygen, yet we only have a supply that lasts for a few minutes. This gas that we are so extremely dependent upon, why don't we store more of it in our bodies? In the same way that we store large amounts of fat, glucose, proteins, water, and other life-sustaining substances. The very thing we need the most we have the least of. What is the logic behind this? One reason is obviously because it is so easily available as there is 21% oxygen in the air we inhale.
