EWOT Treatment: A Wellness Approach, Not a Medical Cure!

Ever come across the term EWOT treatment and wondered if it’s some kind of medical treatment?

Or maybe the word “therapy” in Exercise with Oxygen Therapy made you believe it’s only for those with health issues?

You’re not alone! Many people assume EWOT is a medical intervention, but that’s not the case—it’s not meant to replace traditional medical treatments. Instead, it’s a science-backed fitness/wellness approach that floods your body with oxygen, the fuel it craves to perform, recover, and feel your best. Just think of EWOT as a powerful addition to your proactive wellness routine.

In this blog post, let’s take a look at the basics of EWOT and how it can help in the symptom management of various health conditions.

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy–The Basics

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy, as the name suggests, synergistically combines exercise and oxygen therapy. It involves inhaling higher concentrations of oxygen while exercising. Now, you might ask, “What’s the benefit of inhaling higher levels of oxygen while working out?” Well, let me explain. When you exercise, your working muscles demand more oxygen. What if you could supply them with the oxygen they crave, that too in just 15 minutes? That’s exactly what EWOT does.

The benefits of EWOT go beyond what you might think. Here are some of the benefits offered by this mighty exercise-oxygen duo.

Improves blood flow
Increases the synthesis of ATP, your body’s energy currency
Increases oxygen delivery to your cells, tissues, and organs
Better cardiovascular health
Improves immune system function
Enhances cognitive function
Better sleep
Speeds up recovery
Boosts athletic performance
Reduces inflammation
And many more!

Comparing EWOT and HBOT

You might have heard about HBOT more often. Both Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Exercise with Oxygen Therapy involve the use of oxygen. However, they function in distinct ways. When you perform HBOT, you lie in a pressurized chamber that delivers pure oxygen without any activity, whereas, as mentioned above, EWOT involves exercising while breathing in oxygen.


Feature	EWOT	HBOT
Method	Breathing higher levels of oxygen while exercising	Involves lying down in a pressurized chamber that delivers pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure
Activity Level	Active (requires movement)	Passive (requires no movement)
Session Time	15 minutes	60-90 minutes per session
Purpose	Improving oxygen uptake, circulation, and energy levels	Delivering oxygen to tissues at high pressure for healing and recovery
Equipment	Oxygen Machine, Oxygen Reservoir Bag, and a specialized mask	Pressurized oxygen chamber
Prescription Requirement	No prescription is required	A prescription is required
Cost-effectiveness	Less expensive due to higher time efficiency and low operational cost	Expensive compared to exercise-based therapies due to its lower time efficiency and high operational cost

How Does EWOT Support Your Health?

While Exercise with Oxygen Therapy does not replace conventional treatments, it can act as a complementary therapy and assist in symptom management for various health conditions. Let’s have a look at how EWOT supports your health routine:

Benefit	How EWOT Helps
Better Lung Health	Optimizes oxygen delivery to the lungs Improves lung function Increases energy and endurance Helps in recovery from respiratory conditions
Asthma	Strengthens respiratory muscles Minimizes asthma flare-ups by improving lung capacity Improves exercise tolerance
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)	Improves exercise tolerance Improves oxygen uptake and utilization Reduces fatigue and shortness of breath Makes a gradual difference in lung function Better cardiovascular health
Pulmonary Fibrosis (scarring of lung tissue)	Improves exercise tolerance Reduces pain and inflammation Boosts immunity Improves energy levels
Sleep Apnea	Higher oxygen levels promote deep, restful sleep Reduces AHI score AHI score refers to the total number of apneas (airways are completely obstructed and breathing stops for 10 seconds or more) and hypopneas (airways are partially obstructed and breathing becomes shallow for 10 seconds or more) per hour of sleep Supports exercise-induced weight loss Increases the energy levels by promoting the synthesis of ATP, your body’s energy currency. Better focus
Inflammation	Improves blood flow to the inflamed regions with poor blood circulation Supports detoxification by improving cellular metabolism and energy production Reduces oxidative stress, which can trigger inflammatory responses. Improves immunity Helps manage the symptoms of arthritis by reducing joint pain and inflammation Accelerates muscle recovery in athletes by flooding the body with oxygen and reducing exercise-induced inflammation.
Diabetes	Improves insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose uptake Helps combat fatigue associated with diabetes by increasing the production of ATP Improves blood circulation, especially to the extremities Reduces the risk of complications related to diabetes, such as diabetic neuropathy and delayed wound healing Aids in healthy weight management Supports better cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular health	Improves blood oxygen levels Delivers oxygen-rich blood to the vital organs Reduces strain on the heart Helps your heart handle the oxygen demands of exercise and work more efficiently Reduces inflammation, the major risk factor for cardiovascular conditions Helps manage high blood pressure
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)	Promotes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) Regulates blood pressure by improving oxygen delivery Prevents plaque build-up
Chronic Fatigue	Increases energy levels Improves stamina and endurance Optimizes oxygenation and reduces the symptoms of chronic fatigue
Hypoxia (low oxygen supply to your body tissues)	Increases oxygen delivery to the oxygen-starved tissues Helps immune cells circulate throughout the body, resulting in faster and effective immune responses
Long COVID	Improves exercise tolerance Reduces the chances of post-exertional malaise (symptoms worsen after light physical/mental exercise) Offers anti-inflammatory effects, reducing joint and muscle pain, fatigue and brain fog. Improves cognitive function Speeds up recovery by improving physical fitness and oxygenation Reduces shortness of breath and fatigue
Babesia and Tick-Borne Infections	Helps combat fatigue and accelerate recovery Improves exercise tolerance and endurance Helps reduce inflammation linked to arthralgia (joint pain), myalgia (nerve pain), and headache by supplying oxygen to the hypoxic tissues Supports detoxification
