If you’re planning your first visit to an oxygen bar, you’re in for a unique and refreshing experience. Whether you’re attending a corporate event, wedding, or just looking to try something new, an oxygen bar can provide a fun and rejuvenating way to enjoy yourself. Here’s a guide to what you can expect during your first visit to an oxygen bar, with insights into how it works and the benefits you can enjoy.
An oxygen bar is a setup where guests can inhale concentrated oxygen infused with various scents or flavors. The oxygen is typically around 90-95% pure, compared to the 21% found in the air we normally breathe. This increased concentration of oxygen is believed to provide a range of benefits, from increased energy levels to enhanced mental clarity and relaxation.
When you arrive at the oxygen bar, you’ll likely notice a sleek and modern setup. Summit Oxygen offers two main types of setups:
Venue-Provided Table and Chairs: This is a more budget-friendly option where the venue supplies the table and chairs, and Summit Oxygen provides the oxygen bar equipment.
Lighted Bar and Bar Stools Provided by Summit Oxygen: This option includes a more elaborate setup with lighted bars and bar stools, making for a visually appealing experience.
Both options come with professional attendants who will bring all the necessary oxygen equipment, guide you through the process, and answer any questions you might have.
When you’re ready to begin, you’ll be handed a nasal cannula—a lightweight tube with two prongs that fit into your nostrils. The cannula delivers a steady stream of oxygen mixed with the scent of your choice. You can choose from a variety of natural, tea-based scents such as Wild Berry, Mint, Citrus, Raspberry, Peach, and Cinnamon/Apple.
As you breathe in the scented oxygen, you’ll start to feel the effects almost immediately. Many people report feeling more awake, relaxed, and clear-headed. The session usually lasts around 10 to 15 minutes, but you can stay longer if you wish.
People visit oxygen bars for a variety of reasons, but the most common benefits include:
Increased Energy: Oxygen is vital for producing energy in your body. Breathing in concentrated oxygen can give you a natural energy boost, which is especially helpful if you’re at a high-altitude location where the air is thinner.
Mental Clarity: Many visitors report that oxygen sessions help clear their minds and improve focus. This can be particularly useful during long events where you need to stay sharp.
Relaxation: The soothing scents and the act of breathing deeply can promote relaxation, making it a great way to unwind.
Enhanced Social Experience: Oxygen bars are a social activity as much as they are a wellness experience. Sharing the experience with friends or colleagues can make the event more enjoyable and memorable.
Relief from Symptoms of Altitude Sickness: High-altitude locations can sometimes cause mountain sickness, leading to symptoms like headaches, nausea, and shortness of breath. Breathing in concentrated oxygen at an oxygen bar can help alleviate these symptoms, making your visit to higher elevations more comfortable and enjoyable.
There’s no special attire required for visiting an oxygen bar, but comfortable clothing is always a good idea. Since the experience is relaxing, you’ll want to be comfortable so you can fully enjoy it.
There’s no need for special preparation, but staying hydrated before your visit is always a good idea. If you’re at a high-altitude location like Colorado, this can help you avoid altitude sickness and enhance the benefits of the oxygen session.
1. Are oxygen bars safe? Yes, oxygen bars are safe for most people. The oxygen concentration used is not high enough to pose a risk, and the sessions are typically short. However, if you have any respiratory conditions, it’s best to consult with your doctor before trying an oxygen bar.
2. How long do the effects last? The effects of an oxygen session can last anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the individual. Many people feel a quick boost of energy and mental clarity that helps them enjoy the rest of their event.
3. Can I try multiple scents? Absolutely! Many oxygen bars, including Summit Oxygen, offer a variety of scents for you to choose from. You can try different scents in one session or return for more if you have the time.
4. How much does it cost? The cost can vary depending on the setup and the event. Summit Oxygen offers two main pricing options ranging from $650 to $2300, depending on the package you choose.
5. Do I need to book in advance? It’s a good idea to book in advance, especially if you’re planning to use an oxygen bar for a special event like a wedding or corporate meeting. This ensures that the setup is ready and tailored to your needs.
Your first visit to an oxygen bar will likely be a memorable one. It’s a unique way to enhance your event experience, providing both physical and mental benefits. Whether you’re looking to boost your energy, relax, or simply try something new, an oxygen bar offers a fun and healthy way to do so. And with the professional staff from Summit Oxygen guiding you, you can be sure that your experience will be both enjoyable and rejuvenating.
