A concept that was developed by a practising holistic doctor in the US in 1997, it has proved so popular that oxygen parlours have popped up all over America, Europe and a few countries like Japan and Hong Kong in Asia. It has been said that a shot of pure oxygen once in two days for about 15 to 20 minutes can have a revitalising effect on one's body. "It acts as an anti-ageing agent, besides enhancing the energy and stamina levels in the body. Periodic relaxation at the parlour will result in clear skin, shiny hair and a rejuvenation of the mind and body. At oxygen parlour, the therapy sometimes include, in the form of value addition, aroma therapy and music therapy, too. But why would anyone want to buy oxygenated air? A holiday at a not-so-polluted hill station would be more in order, wouldn't it? |
