We recommend the Flair by FLEX. This device allows hydrogen inhalation without a nasal cannula, making it a comfortable option for those who prefer a mask-free experience.
I have a skin condition. What hydrogen product should I try?
At a hydrogen seminar, Dr. Orita, a dermatologist, recommended hydrogen baths for skin conditions.
Additionally, we suggest referring to the books by Dr. Michiko Miyakawa and Dr. Nobuhiko Sanba, which are highly regarded in the field.
How can I inhale hydrogen?
There are various methods of hydrogen inhalation, and the best option depends on personal preference and purpose.
For devices that use a nasal cannula, consider the following options:
  • H2JI1 (Doctors Man)
  • Lita Air (Lita Heart)
  • Lita Aqua (Lita Heart)
  • FLAIR (FLEX)
If you prefer not to use a nasal cannula, alternative methods include:
  • FLAIR (FLEX) – Releases hydrogen-enriched air as a spiral airflow, allowing for non-invasive inhalation.
  • Lita Life (Lita Heart) & Bubbleman (H2JI1) (Doctors Man) – Hydrogen bath systems that allow hydrogen absorption through the skin and pores, as well as inhalation of hydrogen-rich steam.
What are the types of hydrogen inhalation devices?
Hydrogen inhalation devices are generally categorized into two types:
  • Devices that emit only hydrogen gas
  • Devices that emit both hydrogen gas and oxygen gas
Devices that emit oxygen gas are sometimes used for severe pneumonia patients, but there are concerns about potential lung damage in healthy individuals.
Additionally, high-flow devices may put strain on the nasal passages. A higher hydrogen flow rate is not necessarily better—selecting the right concentration and flow rate is key for safe and effective inhalation.
What is the difference between drinking hydrogen water and inhaling hydrogen gas?
The difference lies in how hydrogen is absorbed and distributed in the body:
  • Hydrogen Inhalation: Absorbed directly through the lungs into the bloodstream, allowing it to circulate throughout the entire body, including the brain.
  • Drinking Hydrogen Water: Absorbed through the intestines into the venous bloodstream, passing through the liver before being distributed.
Selecting the appropriate method depends on your specific health goals.

Hydrogen Benefits & Safety

What are the benefits of hydrogen inhalation?
Numerous studies have reported the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergy properties of hydrogen. Research suggests that hydrogen helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
Additionally, users have shared the following experiences:
  • “I feel refreshed.”
  • “My migraines have improved.”
  • “I fall asleep more easily.”
  • “My body feels less fatigued.”
Moreover, hydrogen is one of the few antioxidants known to cross the blood-brain barrier. Studies indicate that it travels through the carotid artery, circulates through the head, and dissolves into the bloodstream, reaching internal organs.
Disclaimer: This information is based on scientific research and user testimonials. Individual results may vary.
Is hydrogen gas safe?
Yes, hydrogen gas is safe, and no side effects have been reported.
Hydrogen has been recognized as a food additive by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, making it safe for people of all ages, from children to the elderly.
Are hydrogen inhalation devices considered medical equipment?
In Japan, hydrogen inhalation devices are not classified as medical equipment.
However, in 2016, hydrogen gas inhalation therapy was approved as an "Advanced Medical B Treatment" and has been used in emergency medicine.
Additionally, in China (2020), hydrogen inhalation therapy was introduced for treating pneumonia caused by COVID-19, and by 2021, hydrogen inhalation devices were officially recognized as medical equipment.
How long should I use a hydrogen inhalation device?
The optimal duration for hydrogen inhalation depends on the device and intended purpose.
According to a Keio University press release, 1 hour of daily hydrogen inhalation may help balance the autonomic nervous system and lower blood pressure.
n this study, H2JI1 by Doctors Man was used. Clinical and non-clinical research has reported that a blood hydrogen saturation level of 2.0% is the most effective.

Guidelines for Using H2JI1

  • 10 minutes of inhalation can achieve 2.0% blood hydrogen saturation (equivalent to advanced medical levels).
  • 1 hour of inhalation has been observed to further increase saturation, potentially reaching 2.5%, depending on measurement conditions and individual differences.
  • 24-hour continuous use is possible, making it ideal for those who wish to inhale hydrogen for extended periods.
Hydrogen inhalation is generally safe, and no side effects have been reported from excessive use. However, prolonged inhalation may cause deep relaxation, leading to drowsiness. It is recommended to adjust usage based on individual health conditions and goals. Features of Other Hydrogen Inhalation Devices We Offer

Why doesn’t condensation form inside the nasal cannula?
The H2JI1 by Doctors Man is equipped with a special dryer function that removes moisture from the hydrogen gas.
This feature helps prevent condensation inside the nasal cannula, ensuring a clean and comfortable inhalation experience.
Additionally, H2JI1 regulates flow rates optimally, preventing excessive dryness while maintaining comfort.
For most hydrogen inhalation devices, condensation may occur inside the cannula depending on environmental conditions and duration of use. In such cases, regularly replacing the cannula is recommended for hygiene purposes.
Can hydrogen inhalation devices be used for commercial purposes?
Yes, many medical institutions, acupuncture and chiropractic clinics, and wellness salons use hydrogen inhalation devices.
However, in Japan, hydrogen therapy is not covered by insurance, so it is offered as an out-of-pocket service.
What health benefits are associated with drinking hydrogen water?
Hydrogen water is recommended for maintaining overall health and may support:
  • Prevention of periodontal disease
  • Prevention of dementia
  • Improved blood circulation and enhanced energy metabolism
  • Weight management and improvement of lifestyle-related diseases
  • Prevention of metabolic syndrome
  • Reduction of atherosclerosis caused by metabolic syndrome
  • Activation of ghrelin receptors in the stomach lining, promoting growth hormone secretion

About the Blood Flow Scope

What is a blood flow scope?
A blood flow scope is a microscope equipped with up to 510x zoom, allowing for detailed observation of capillary blood flow.
What can be observed with the blood flow scope?
It enables comparison of capillary blood flow before and after hydrogen inhalation.
Note: This service is only available at our New York salon.
I am in Japan and cannot experience the blood flow scope analysis. What changes occur before and after hydrogen inhalation?
Capillaries with poor circulation are sometimes referred to as “ghost vessels”, as they become invisible due to lack of blood flow.
However, with continued hydrogen inhalation, previously inactive capillaries may regain circulation, and blood flow can be visibly observed becoming more active.
