Hvad er CO2-terapi?

CO2-terapi er en innovativ og naturlig behandlingsmetode, der anvender kontrolleret indånding af kuldioxid (CO2) for at forbedre kroppens funktioner og fremme sundhed.

Denne form for terapi bygger på videnskaben om, hvordan CO2 påvirker vores krop ved at forbedre blodcirkulationen, øge iltoptagelsen til væv og reducere spændinger i muskler og nervesystem.

Selvom det kan lyde komplet mod alt at indånde kuldioxid, har forskning vist, at kontrollerede mængder af CO2 faktisk kan stimulere kroppen til at optimere sin vejrtrækning og metaboliske funktion.

CO2-terapi har derfor været brugt i forskellig form i mange år tilbage historisk set. Nu har CO2-terapien taget sin plads som en sikker, ikke-invasiv metode til at forbedre både fysisk og mental sundhed.

Hvordan virker CO2-terapi i din krop? (vi er igang med at oversætte til Dansk)

The main reason is that CO2 Therapy leads to more efficient oxygenation and energy production. Despite popular belief, that CO2 is just a simple waste product, optimum CO2 levels are vital for every bodily function.

Our body wants oxygen more than anything and carbon dioxide is heavily involved in all the steps of transporting the oxygen from the atmospheric air we inhale to the mitochondria in our cells.

1. CO2 stimulates breathing

To start with, carbon dioxide controls breathing. It is not lack of oxygen that makes us take the next breath, it is the build-up of excess CO2. Our brainstem is the center for survival functions like temperature, heartbeat, and breathing.

Chemoreceptors in the brainstem check the levels of CO2 and when they reach a certain level, a signal is sent to our diaphragm to move downward, which starts the inhale. Low tolerance for CO2 translates to faster and bigger breaths, which is the hallmark of stress and anxiety.

2. CO2 keeps airways open

Secondly, when we inhale, optimum levels of carbon dioxide ensures that the airways are kept open, by relaxing and widening the smooth muscle surrounding the airways, so that the air can flow easily in and out of the lungs.

3. CO2 keeps blood vessels open

Thirdly, when the oxygen we inhale has been transferred from the lungs over to the blood, optimum levels of carbon dioxide maintains open blood vessels, again by relaxing the smooth muscle that also surrounds the blood vessels, so that the blood can flow easily.

4. CO2 offloads oxygen from the blood breathing

The next step is that once the oxygen-rich blood reaches the tissues where oxygen is needed, CO2 helps offload the oxygen from the blood so that it can enter the mitochondria of the cells and be of use.

5. CO2 protects the mitochondria

And the final step is in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, where nutrients and oxygen are converted to energy. Oxygen is extremely reactive and if the energy production is not controlled, the mitochondria will be damaged and leak free radicals, which leads to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Carbon dioxide protects the mitochondria from oxygen damage, which makes CO2 a powerful anti-oxidant.

CO2 is the main facilitator

So, as we can see, in all the five steps of body oxygenation, carbon dioxide is the main facilitator. It is CO2 that paves the way for oxygen so that we can produce energy efficiently.

In all health issues, lack of energy is a major problem. Either the process is inefficient, so we produce too little, or we consume too much, or both. Like a company with low sales and too high costs.

Lower levels of CO2 are common in today’s society because of over-breathing and inactivity, which leads to restriction, friction, and resistance. This means we have to spend more of our resources on survival, and we have less energy to recover, repair, enjoy life, and personal growth.

Low energy, a racing mind, anxiety, pain, sleep problems, airway problems, heart and circulation issues, overweight, poor athletic endurance are some of the problems closely related to lower levels of CO2, and where CO2 Therapy could be beneficial.
