How We Started Using Hydrogen Therapy
Yadi has been exploring hydrogen therapy for over 10 years, starting with a Brown’s Gas machine that bubbled hydrogen into water—a process that took 20 minutes and had to be done outside, but the benefits were worth it. Wanting to offer his clients the same positive experience, he began searching for better machines that could deliver quality hydrogen faster.
In 2016, wildfires severely impacted North Carolina’s air quality. During one particularly bad day, Joi experienced a serious hypoxia episode. Recognizing the urgency, Yadi immediately purchased their first hydrogen inhalation machine. Joi’s quick recovery inspired them to seek out more effective, affordable hydrogen solutions. Together, they tested a wide variety of machines—from portable water generators to countertop infusers and devices from around the world—determined to find the best therapeutic options for their clients.
