Oxygen causes oxidation. The very stuff that keeps us alive is also slowly poisoning us. Oxygen releases 'free radicals'. It is even thought to be responsible for the aging process.
Vitamins and minerals known as anti-oxidents help combat free radicals.
Oxygen should only be used for 5 mins at the onset of a headache. The mask should be held in place and not strapped on in case you fall asleep.
