Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT)
Relax and recharge your batteries
Do you often suffer from tiredness, exhaustion or a lack of energy? With Interval Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT), we at Dr Beate Helgers’ private practice offer you an innovative treatment method that naturally strengthens your cells and significantly boosts your energy levels – all in a completely relaxed manner, without any physical exertion.
Full of energy throughout the day – with IHHT
Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT) is a modern, scientifically proven method for boosting your energy and vitality. IHHT works by having you breathe in alternating phases of oxygen-deprived air (hypoxia) and oxygen-rich air (hyperoxia). These controlled stimuli simulate training at high altitude – without any effort at all.
What is IHHT used for?
This innovative therapy helps to restore the body’s balance – without any physical exertion at all.
IHHT is particularly suitable for:
- Lack of energy and tiredness
: For anyone who feels weak and drained. - Sleep disorders
To support a balanced autonomic nervous system for better, more restful sleep. - Stress and nervous tension
: Helps with inner restlessness and promotes stress resilience. - Chronic respiratory conditions
: Supports respiratory function in cases of COPD, asthma and other lung conditions. - Post-COVID-19
syndrome: Alleviates persistent fatigue or breathing difficulties following a COVID-19 infection.
IHHT is also ideal for:
- Athletes
To boost endurance, recovery and athletic performance – comparable to altitude training. - Older people
: To support cell regeneration, promote vitality and improve quality of life.
We would be
happy to advise you on a case-by-case basis as to
whether IHHT is suitable for your particular situation.
How does the IHHT work?
- Before the first session, we carry out an ANS (autonomic nervous system) analysis to assess your heart rate variability (HRV). This analysis shows how well your body copes with stress and helps us to tailor the therapy to your individual needs.
- This is how IHHT works:
you lie down in a relaxed, comfortable position and breathe through a comfortable breathing mask. During the therapy, you are alternately exposed – in a controlled and pain-free manner – to phases of oxygen-deprived (hypoxia) and oxygen-rich (hyperoxia) air. These targeted alternations train your cells, boost their efficiency and promote the regeneration of your entire body.
- The result:
you benefit from increased energy, improved stress resistance and a lasting improvement in your well-being – all without any physical strain.
